Electricity In AgrlcuIturc.

III Electric Power is chroniclcd tho
successful experiment of Danish farm
or III the use Of electric power for thrash
ing. He has hitherto had an old fash
Toned thrashing machine drawn bv
horses Three pairs of horses have
worked the machine with about 500
turns pcr minute. tho horses being
changed four times per diem. Tho pow
or transmitted in this way is. owing To
the nature of the machinery, irregular,
occnsioning considerable loss of time to
tho worlsmen employed BY tho use Of
an electric motor to propcl the thraShing
mill this disadvantage is removed The
power is transmitted evenly, stoppagca
are avoided, the thrashing il moro speed
lily effected, and tho machine itself ia
spared considerable wear and tear. A
stationary steam or oil engine drives the
dynauio, and the current is conducted
through cables of suitable length to any
given point i'll or outside tho barn whcfo
tho thrashing takes place.
AT the farm where the experiment
has been tried the force is generated bv
six horsepower oil (petroloumJ engine.
Tho distance between the oil engine and
the thrashing mill is about $40 wards.
a speed Of 1000 turns of the mill per
minute can DO attained, and it is clear
~ demonstrated that tho thrashing pro-
cceds with very much greater ease and
rapidity than formerly 1t is especially
worthy Of notice that tho speed docs not
vary even when the mill is very full. If
the thrashing mill is moved Of course
tho electl omctor must also be moved. Ii
is therefore placed upon a sort of sledgo.
Another advantage in tho use of cleo
tricity in tho transmission Of working
power may be mcntioncd-vi2, that tho
electric current can, without extra OK
penSc, produce two lamps in the barn
and the machine house.

year the machine does it for less than
half tha. amount and leaves the bundles

the way these inventions work. They
give increased power and saving to the
great enterprise and take more or less
manual labor away from the ordinary

General Notes

Pasadena, Feb. 24.-Mr F. H. Dutton,
father of H. II. Dutton, the stationer,
suddenly dropped dead while standing in
front of the First National Bank this
morning about o. clock. He left home
as well as usual short time before COM
ing down town, and stopping at his son. S
store few minutes had just started to
return home when stricken. Several peo-
pie saw him fall and at once went to his
assistance but he was dead before any OF
them reached him. He was carried into
Lang's drug store and Drs McAllister
and Swearingen were called in. Nothing,
however, could be done, as life was ex-
tinct. Later the remains were removed to
the undertaking parlors of Lippencott d
Co., and the Coroner notified. At the in
quest held shortly after the jury decided
that the cause Of the death was apoplexy.
Deceased had never had a stroke before
and the news of his death came as a sad
blow to the family, who were at once noti
fed of the death at their home on Grant
street.
Mr.. Dutton met with an accident while
riding a bicycle some months ago, which
necessitated his using a crutch. He was
in his 66th year and never had been con-
sidered an invalid.

CocIIise County

The Wilcox Stockman says that the de-
mand for alfalfa fattened Arizona beef
on the California market seems to hold up
well, regardless of the fact that state has
good prospects for year above the aver
age, SO far as cattle are concerned. The
demand for alfalfa cattle will increase
every year, and those who can arrange to
so fatten cattle will have a steady and
growing business. The Tempe News of a
week ago says:
Every hoof of cattle fit to be killed for
beef has during the last two days, been en-
gagged On the south side by San Diego and
Los Angeles buyers, thus demonstrating
once more that Southern California has
to depend upon the Salt River valley for
beef during the winter and early spring
months.
This year, like every preceding one has
been, is entirely unequal to the demand.
If we had 5000 head more of fat cattle
ready market at good prices could be OBJ
tanned in Southern California. And this
demand for alfalfa fattened beef will con-
tinue to increase year after year No
safer business exists today for our
farmers than that OF cattle feeding and
fattening, while with the advent of the
north and south railroad the profits ac-
cruing from cattle feeding are sure to in.
crease, by reason of the opening up of
esatern markets, which have so far been
inaccessible to our cattle raisers on ac-
count OF long distance travel and high
freight rates.

Pasadena, Feb. 24.-Marshal Buchanan
has arrested the two Fitzpatrick boys, who
were concerned in the cutting scrape on
East Colorado street last week, in which a
couple of men were badly slashed up and
the life Of one despaired of for some time.
After the fight the boys disappeared, and
it was not until yesterday that the officers
located them in Los Angeles Their
father is contractor and is at present
engaged in putting up a business block on
East Colorado street. The foreman on the
job, who was also in the row, has not yet
been arrested, as he has managed to keep
out of sight ever since the cutting. The
two boys will come up for hearing before
Recorder Rossiter tomorrow. 1t is ex-
expected that some new developments
will be brought out in the trial, as it is
claimed that other parties were mixed up
in the affair. The fight was one of the
most disgracefll drunken rows that ever
occurred in this city, and the matter
should be thoroughly sifted by the Off
