the engine and dynamo were started.
Another advantage the storage bat
terry has over the current direct is
that it gives off an absolutely steady
current, no jerk, waver or fuctua-
lions in the light but thoroughly
steady and constant. The current
from the dynamo would show the fiuc-
tuations in the speed or running of
the engine, which in quite a great
majority of small gas engines is
very considerable, so much in fact as
to make very unsteady and there
fore unsatisfactory light. We would
therefore recommend, that, for farm
use and an ideal home light plant,
one should by all means consider the
matter of installing, with the engine
and dynamo, small storage battery of
sufficient capacity to handle from Is
to 80 16-candle power 110-volt cleo
trio incandescent lamps for say, s.
hours at a time This when once in
operation is not only highly satisfact-
ory but quite inexpensive as well as
instructive. 1t gives the farmer boys
and girls an excellent opportunity to
study electricity in a practical man.
ner. With the pumping plant sup
plying an elevated tank they have
many practical illustrations of n.y.
draulics right before them. From
this elevated or supply tank the water
is distributed as needed by means of
underground pipes to the various
places where it is required such as in
the kitchen sink, the milk, trough,
the garden, the stock tanks, the lawn
hydrant, etc.
BY arrangements such as above des-
cribed the little engine can be conven-
iently located with the dynamo and
pump near by so that both can be
operated at the same time. The en-
CINE might be placed somewhere
about the barn or at the well half

where the noise from the running of
it could not be heard from the dwell
ling. The storage battery could be
placed somewhere in the cellar of
the dwelling or some other cool out of
the way place. In locating the little
engine the matter of operating vari-
GUS kinds of machinery with it should
not be overlooked. There is the wash
ing machine, the cream separator, the
churn, the circular wood saw, the sill
age cutter or dry fodder cutter, the
feed grinder, bone grinder, etc.

his blowing, sowing, reaping and
gathering, then you will find few
boys leaving the farm for city life,
but you will see the workingman
of the city longing for farm life.
This condition of affairs is not
only possible but quite probable
within the next twenty years. In
the small sized gas engine we
have a motor capable not only of
pumping water but also capable of
driving dynamo which may be wired
direct to a system of wiring for lights
in the farm home or it may be wired
up to storage battery which in turn
is connected to the light circuit. The
advantage of the storage battery plant
even though it cost considerable more
over the dynamo circuit direct is that
the electricity can be stored in the
battery at the same time that the en-
CINE is doing other work, such as
pumping water, and thereby save fuel
as well as to avoid the necessity of
operating the engine in the evening
or at night. There would always be
energy or current enough in the bat
terry to give light during any part of
the night or if light were wanted in
any dark place during the daytime it
is always ready, whereas, If the cur
rent were used direct from the dyna.
mo a light could never be had until

Gasoline Engine on the Farm.

There is a constant and growing de-
mand for a little stationary power
plant on the best equipped farms in
our country 1t is the purpose of
this article to describe the conven-
fence and uses of such plant. Since
the adoption of the telephone and
free mail delivery systems in the
country the farmer is eager to en-
ploy other conveniences, such as are
enjoyed in the city, says writer in
the Threshermen's Review. The ell
ectric light and hydrant systems are
about the only things that are want
ing on the farm to make the country
citizen the most independent, enlight-
ened and happy lord of creation"
now in existence. The countryman
his farm equipped with the convent
ences above referred to, is surely in an
envious position. He is entirely free
from the heavy taxation that proper
ty holders in a moderately improved
city have to bear. 1t is true he is
assessed heavily when a ditch is To-
Gated on his farm or a public road
running by his farm is to be improved
but this is usually light in compari-
son to the property assessments for
paved streets, sidewalks and sewers
in the city. The city property own
ers are taxed for the establishment OF
the public water works by laying
mains, etc.
Then if they wish to use the water
they have to pay from two to three
dollars per month for the privilege
of using it and in many instances
they are called upon to buy a meter
at cost of from SIS to 500, through
which the water is measured to them,
and often the water, so extensively
purchased in the city, is not fit for
washing clothes with, to say nothing
about the use of it for cooking and

drinking purposes. FOr
half the extras that the
property owner in the
city is called upon to ex-
pend for his supposed adj
vantages and privileges,
the farmer may install a
neat little power plant
which will enable him to
always have an abundance
of pure Water and elect
ric lights, as brilliant as
the best, all under his
own control. With such
equipment to look after it
seems to me the farmer
boy would find few attrac-
lions in the city to draw
him away from his farm
home. When the time
comes that the farmer
boy may own his auto
mobile and has an auto
mobile wagon on the farm
instead of horses to do
