Also, what other uses are there for this compound in its powder form?  Ranch use-wise? any?

Well, I hear that if you want to bury something you don't want dug up (a beloved pet for example) you sprinkle a little of the powder over the grave, maybe 2 inches under the surface of the dirt.

Or do the Woodie Allen stunt at a party... you know the one where his friend is sharing a stash of cocaine (about a shoe box's worth) and WA sneezes into the box, blowing it all over the house. That should make a LOT of friends for you.

Thanks Frank, that advice regarding burial of pets, etc. is news I can use for sure.  I do appreciate it.

Works great as an insect repellant too.  Just sprinkle a little bit on the ground where humans won't come onto contact with it and the results are no insects for a good 20 feet radius.
