that the next few years will see the
progressive farmers of the North
west bringing that mysterious fluid
to aid them in their industry. While
the horses of the farm may be used
now to pump water, cut feed, or
drive the thresher, all Of which
electricity can do equally well, the
other uses to which the latter can
be put and the former cannot will
turn the scale in favor Of the use
of electricity wherever possible. The
tain light can be displaced by
incandescent globes, making the il
Elimination of the barn and stables
safe and brilliant, while the equally
dangerous kerosene lamp may be
expelled from the house by the
same illuminant. The same force
that in the barn drives the corn
shelter or the silage machinery, in
the house may drive the sewing ma
heat for the kitchen and the house.
This is no idle summer days
dream. 1t is entirely probable and
practicable, and can be put into
effect on any farm in the North
west. The valleys of this state
abound with streams that afford in
their rapid descent frequent dam sites
where electricity can be cheaply gen.
Grated and conveyed to the neigh
boring farms. On many of them
the dams still exist that furnished
the power to drive the now aban-
doned saw and grist mills. But the
use of electricity is not confined to
farms contiguous to streams capa-
BILE of furnishing sufficient water
power. The farmer on the prairie
remote from running water can find
in the currents of the air equally
sufficient means of generating the
electricity with which the labors of
the farm may be economical. The
windmill, now generally used to
pump water, can as we'll drive the
dynamo and produce electricity to
be applied directly to the work in
hand. The tickle winds cannot be
controlled and subjected to the will
of the farmer; but as now they are
made to accumulate water in the
tanks for use in calm, so by the use
of accumulatorS, the windmills can
be made to generate electricity that
can be stored and used for motive
power when the winds are too
languid to move the mill. The en-
ergy gathered in the accumulators
can also be used to assist the power
generated by the mill when in oper-
alton in performing the heavier Ia
Dor, such as threshing. We believe
that this century will not come tc
it's end before electricity will be
doing for the farmers in the North
west what it is so successfully doing
now for the street railways of the
cities and for manufacturing indus,
tries.
