Sinking Large Stones.

The cheapest and most effectual way to rid the land of large stones is to dig a large hole beside them, roll them in and fill up, adding enough additional earth from the roadsides to make the surfaoe level. 'lt seems queer that after roiling a large stone iu a. newly dug hole that more dirt will be needed to fill it up, but in most soils experience shows this to be a fact. Digging pulverizes the soil, enabling it to pack more closely than before.
