The general managers OF the big In
terurban lines radiatlng from st. Louis
have determined to keep abreast OF the
times, and win supply power to farm
ers for any purpose 1t pleases them to
adapt IL All the farmer has to do Is
TO install his motors and the trolley
lines win do the rest They will run
the wires from their lines to his farm,
making the terminus at some central
point, say, the barn, for example. and
give him all the current he desires at a
low meter rate. II means halcyon days
for the farmers, and only those who
have installed the electric power can
fully appreciate what a saving OF labor
It means, and what an increased earn
ing power 1t gives the farm. Already
many farms in Ohio and Indiana use
electricity obtained from a nearby troll
ley line.
On those farms where electric power
has been installed it has been used for
a greater variety OF purposes than
even the original projectors OF the
scheme. the interurban trolley compa-
MES, ever dreamed OF. The American
farmer demonstrates his logical meth
DDS OF reasoning in this use OF It,.
why" says he, IF l have a motor
capable OF running my corn huskers,
water pump. wood saw. grindstons
and threshlng machine and leaving me
q surplus OF power besides, shouldn't
apply some OF this power to the
kitchen and thus save Maria a few
backaches?" And so he does. A small
motor Is rugged up In the kitchen. and
By means OF a shaft and a series OF
pulleys the washing machine Is oper-
ated by electricity. as well as the
churn, the sausagemaking machine, the
saving machine. the bread mixer and
the wringers. and sometimes even iron
ing cylinders are set up and the aat-
irons banished to oblivion. Like her
husband, the farm wife has no more
manual labor to perform, nothing to do
on wash day but pack the clothes In

does the rest; place the wet garments
