FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.

FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.
A highly interesting account of
the application of electricity to
farm work is given in recent num-
Der Of the Mechanical News. 1t was
a Scotch farm on which the expert
ment was tried, and it need hardly
be said that this use of electricity
is as yet merely experimental.
There is no doubt of what can be
done with electricity as motor,
but there are still grave questions
of cost and conve nience to be settled
before it can come into general use
for agricultural purposes.
On this Scotch farm the electricity
is generated by turbine wheel in a
neighboring water course, and there
IS no boubt that it will soon be pos
sible to generate electricity thus at
a great reduction from it's present
cost
From the point Of generation the
electricity is conveyed by wires in
the usual way to. the house and
other parts Of the farm where it is
to be used.
The house islighted by electricity
and electricity drives all stationary
farm machinery. Threshers, hay,
balers and everything Of that kind
down to a farm grind stone and
churn can be operated easily by
electricity power, and an electric
pump is kept in constant operation.
The motor used is l6-horse power,
which is ample for running the
entire farm. With such motor
in full working order all that would
be necessary in order to start every
thing on the farm from the churn to
the thresher would be to press a
button.
When the system of farming be-
comes general there are some farmers
who will think the millennium has
come, and there are farmers wives
who certainly will as they break
their backs for the last time over
the dasher of the churn.
This looks far off, but perhaps it
is not as far as it seems. Water
power will soon be used in this way
to an extend that is hardly imagined
now, and the very best brains in the
world are now at work to find prac-
tical devices for applying and cheap
ening the great discoveries Of the
last 80 years. 1t is as certain as
anything can be that what is now
done only on this fancy farm will
be done on thousands of farms
in all parts of America in less than
generation.
In the neighborhood of large
cities it will be done very soon.
Nor far from St. Louis an electric
road is now being surveyed that
will connect at least a hundred farms
with the nearest steam railroad.
The electric road is likely to loose
money for some time to come, but
finally it will pay, and there is no
reason why it should not furnish
electricity for light and power to
farmers along its route cheap enough
to allow them to use it as it is now
being used on the Scotch farm.
This is sure to be done. Small
farmers who will not be able to put
in an electric plant costing several
thousand dollars will buy their
power from electric roads which, in
the neighborhood of the large towns
will soon begin to interest the
country in every direction between
the steam railroads.

country might be disturbed as well as
in EuropeP
He then instanced Erie & Reading
stocks and said:
'grhis disturbance did not come from
the Sherman law. II came from the
misconduct Of officials."
Mr.. Teller said he did not mean to say
criminal misconduct, but that they did
not deal fairly with their investors.
It behooved congress. Mr.. Teller
said, when 1t came to legislate upon this
subject, to find the cause Of the evil,
and If within its power to remove the
evil. He did not claim that congress
could touch the question Of dealing in
stocks. That was one Of the evils that
had to be allowed to exist.
Mr.. Voorhees, here said II agreeable
to the senator from Colorado, he would
move an executive session.
Before yielding to that motion Mr..
Teller replied that he had reached
point where he could quit for the pres
ent, and he would take up another
branch Of the subject some other day.
After short executive session, the
senate adjourned.

THE END IN SIGHT.
Hopes that a Vote VIII DO Reaohcd on Il
Repea i Bill by tho First of october.

Hopes that Vote will be Reached ON the
RepealBn by tho First Of october:
WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept 11.-While
all outward appearances indicate that
the situation in the senate is unchanged
and that the present debate on the re.
peal bill may continue indefinitely,
there are certain facts apparent to the
initiated which 90 to show that the end
is in sight, and there is strong proba-
bility that the senate will be
either ready to adjourn or TO take up
other legislation by the first day
OF October. This conclusion is
not reached as the result of statements
given out for effect by the advocates OF
the bill, but It is believed to be justified
BY the circumstances Of the situation.
Very few OF even the staunchest Of the
silver advocates any longer claim ma.
jority Of the senate upon the subject Of
repeal. They are hopeful of securing
the adoption OF an amendment which
will give recognition in some form to
silver, and thus avoiding the necessity
of taking vote upon the repeal bill as
it stands. There are certain votes which
thew hope to secure for an amendment
OF this character.
It may be stated definitely that no
organized determination to filibuster
has been reached, and the probabilities
now are that there will be no extended
effort, after the legitimate debate has
been exhausted, TO prolong the session
Of the senate. or postpone the time Tor
action upon the bill. Theopnonents
Of the bill recognize that'the time is not
propitious for a tilibuster, and that even
if they should attempt to hold of a
vote beyond the legitimate time, the
circumstances would all be against
them. They appreciate that they are
placed at a tremendous disadvantage
by the fact that there are no other i'm.
portant bills before the senate, and
that they are thus compelled to con-
sume all the time of the senate sessions.
The calendar is so bare now that, but
for the repeal bill, the senate could
adjourn tomorrow.
Another circumstance which they are
called upon to face is the fact that they
are at the beginning OF congress with
no possibility OF forcing an adjourn
ment If the majority should hold out
for continuance until the 4th of March,
There are a sufficient number OF
speeches announced to consume the
time Of the senate for probably two
weeks. After that it will be necessary
to either go over the same ground in
speeches, begin actual filibustering op.
erations, or let the voting begin. 1t
will rest largely with the southern OPP
ponents OF the bill to decide whether
the vote shall be postponed or
taken. 1t is safe to say that If they or
the majority OF them decide against
ilibuster 1t will not be undertaken.
Senator Pugh's speech to-day gives
some reason for believing that the
southern senators may be disposed to
hold out indefinitely foF defeat OF
the bill, but other southern senators
does, have not SO clearly outlined their
politics.

THE RUSH FOR HOMES.

The Crowd Waiting for the Cherokee
Opening Exceeds the Oklahoma Rush.
ARKANSAS OrTY, KAN, Sept. l1.-Nine
clerks from Washington began to-day
registering the 10000 homeseekers, who
are in this vicinity. The record for the
day was 1859.
At this rate it is impossible for all to
register before Saturday unless the force
Of clerks is increased. Owing to the
dust that flls the air, and the lack Of
water, those in line experience much
discomfort and suffering. Water sells
at 10 cents cupfut and 25 cents for .
canteen.
John B. Cameron. a Kansas City real
estate man, who had been waiting since
5 o'clock Saturday, received the first
certificate. Then alot OF women who
had not stood in line, but TO whom the
meng calamity gave way, were registered.
The last two days have seen q great
influx Of boomers. Every road leading
here has been filled with an ,unbroken
procession Of wagons, and every train
comes in crowded. The crowd now pre-.
sent exceeds that at the Oklahoma
rush.

mildness, gentleness and all the sirtues
that pertain to the highest type Of

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE irritation OF
France against England seems to in-
crease day by day. First the govern
ment was urged to assert itself against
England's interference in the siamese
question; then 1t was claimed that at
the opening of the chambers the gov
ernment must make the power of France
felt by raising the Egyptian ghost again,
and now the French press has found
fresh cause to attack England and is
angrily harping against the obstacles
which, it is claimed. the Niger Com.
pany has placed in the way OF French
explorers.

At 1880 or thereabouts the little
brass cannon on the port side OF the
Of the May shot IN imaginary hole
right through the old Scotland light
ship, and then the Colonia and Nigilant
began to strew the ocean with enough
tacks to lay large carpet.
The Jubilee and Pilgrim held away
to leeward, and TO all appearances were
not anxious TO start with their New
York rivals. Ten minutes more OF

cannon doomed. A minute later the
green bottomed Colonia reared her long
nose over the line followed closely by
the Vigilant.
Hardly hss. the two leading hulls
slid over before they swung about on

like twin guile. The Pilgrim and
Jubilee evidently intended to have a
private battle Of their own. Five min.
utes after the Vigllant and Colonia
got away third gun was fired and the
two Boston boats came tearing for the
line on a fast sprint. The Jubilee got
there first about a minute.
The Vigilant went TO the windward
OF the Cofonia and was bucking along
like an ocean. broncho, with the spray
whooping up from her bows in grand

Poor Colonia, she hung on gamely
for a while and then stood OFF by herself
