BY ELECTRIC POWER.
HOW MANY FARMERS WILL OP.
ERATE THEIR FARMS.
Agricultural May Read His Newspaper
in the Shade of the Old Apple Tree
While l. ectricity Does His Work
Railways Will Furnish Power.

The general managers Of the big In
terurban lines radiating from st. Louis
have determined to keep abreast of the
times, and will supply power to farm
ers for any purpose 1t pleases them to
adapt it. All the farmer has to do is
to install his motors and the trolley
lines will 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. 1t means halcyOn days
for the farmers, and only those who
have installed the electric power can
fully appreciate what a saving of labor
1t means, and what an increased earn
Ing power it 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
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 1t.

capable Of running my corn huskers,
water pump, wood saw. grindstone
and threshlng machine and leaving me
a surplus Of power besides, shouldn't
l apply some of this power to the
kitchen and thus save Maria few
backaches:' And so he does. A small
motor Is rugged up in the kitchen, and
by means of 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 wrlngers, and sometimes even iron
ing cylinders are set up and the nat
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

Then he had posts erected at suitable
intervals along two sides of the fields
In which he intended to use his electric
motor pillow and along these was strung
stout steel wire rope
Now he was ready for the unique
feature of his plan. Two uninsulated
copper wires were suspended between
the two lines of the steel rope, one the
feed and the other the return, and at
tached to them on a pulley arrange
ment, SO that they could be moved
easily along the field, while at one end
they were connected with a heavily
insulated cable, which carried the cur
rent from the main feed wire to the
field wire. The field wire was support
ed on poles with forked glass tops,
modelled somewhat after the clothes
pole idea, which could be removed
when the motor pillow reached any Of
them, and placed back Of 1t, thus en-
through its trolley pole connection,
while the wire carrying the current
was always kept at a fair distance
above the field. The plow was fas-
tened to the front of the motor car
and both were operated from the seat
on the motor box. 1t sounds cumbrous
to describe, but the farmer used the
method successfully for blowing, har-
rowing and harvesting, did all in less
time than 1t could have been done with
horses and at one third the direct OK
pense. to say nothing of greater
quantity of crops for the market.
Other farmers use storage battery
cars for such purposes, but, after all,
their use Is comparatively restricted,
most farmers contenting themselves
with the application of electrical pow
er to stationary machinery and the
farm is not up to date that doesn't use
1t when situated anywhere near troll
ley line.

only be shaken out and are ready for

meat by hand or strain her shoulder
muscles mixing bread. All these and
many other things which require pow

Is possible. are performed by mechani-
cal means, just as the wood is cut up
by band saw driven by electricity in
the barn, and the feed chopped, the
corn husked, the water pumped, the
grindstone driven, and so forth.
These things are common, everyday
features of farm life now along the
lines of the interurban trolleys which
agree to furnish power for such pur-
poses and few decline when PROPOSE
tons toward the end are made, for 1t

enue to the companies but some farm
ers have gone beyond the application
Of power to stationary machinery and
are obviatlng the need of horses on the
farm by working their plows, harvest
ers, cultivators, harrows and all that
sort Of thing by electric motors. How
one farmer did this in Ohio is an in
teresting example Of adaptation Of
modern appliances. This farmer was
already operating every piece Of ma
chinery that he could about his farm
by electricity. but horses were still
used for blowing and harvesting. The
upkeep OF these represented consid-
cradle item. whereas the three horse

work OF five men. had never cost him
more than s. month. and frequently
much less The difference appealed to
his economical soul, but at that time
no electrical plows or harvesters were
on the market; their use was deemed,
even by electrical supply companies. n
part OF the millennium we are prom
ised, but which Is not on the cards Of
the present. Accordingly the farmer
became a student Of electrical applica-
ton and methods Of power. If the
electric supply companies couldn't help
him he proposed to help himself. Dur

Trigoni's career is replete with ro-
nance and adventures. He was tho
son Of an aristocratic family, and had
studied in the University Of Odessa.
He was very handsome young man,
always dressed neatly, and his man
ners were charming. Instead Of lead
ing the pleasurable, peaceful life Of
an aristOcrat he devoted himself to a
life full of danger in order to work
for the overthrow of the bureaucracy.
In 1881 he was one Of the important
members of the famous Executive
Committee Of the party that was
known as the Noradnoya Volya Crhe
VIII of the People,, the same COM
mittee that undermined the tracks
over which the Cars train was blown
up. The Car was not hurt as he was
not in the train at that time. Then
followed the famous explosion that
occurred in the Cars diningroom in
the winter palace. Alexander IL.
would surely have been killed then
had the bomb not exploded a few
minutes too soon. Other terroristic
deeds were committed. At last the
remarkable conspiracy that brought
about the death of Alexander III. was
organized. The leader of this con-
spiracy was the revolutlonist Zhelia-
bow. Trigoni was one of Zheliabov's
closest friends. The work was thor
oughly well organized. A street
through which the Cars carriage
was expected to pass was mined, and
in order to make sure of the attack
four revolutionists We're placed with
bombs on four different corners.
Shortly before this Trlgoni was sent
by the Executive Committee on mis-
sion to Berlin. The German police
were more watchfu than the police
Of st. Petersburg. The German spies
soon found out that an important rev.
olutionist was there and Immediately
notified the Russian government.
When Trigoni returned to Russia spies
followed him to his home on Nevski
Prospect, in st. Petersburg.
On Friday, Feb. 81. 1881, Zhellabov
took farewell of his sweetheart, Sophia
PerOvskaya, and went to the cheese
store from which the mine was laid
under the street to blow up the Gar.
From there he went to visit Trigoni.
That evening while the two revolu-
tlonists were holding conference
they were arrested. The conspiracy
was at once taken charge Of by Sophia
Perovskaya. Everything was arranged
in a hurry, and on the next day Alex
ander II. was killed by a bomb. Zhe-
liabov and Perovskaya, together with
three other Nihilists, died on the gal
lows. Trigonl was "buried alive in
the dungeon of the Fortress of Peter
and Paul. Three years ago he was
! eXiled to Saghalien Island.

venated. Within stones throw Of
this place he was born. 1t Is an at
mosphere Of beauty, but it is also an
atmosphere OF work, and 1t Is from
this that he drew that 10Y Of the
working" which keeps him SO steadily
employed and which causes him to be
regarded as marvel among public
men. The surroundings of youth
were calculated to make him a lover
of nature, but his bent was for mathe-
MATES and devotion to the exact sci
ences, though heredity should have re-
lieved this by an affection for out
doors. The splendor of the Oneida
hills and the Oriskany valley was not
wholly lost upon him, however, even
amid the busy scenes of a metropolis
throbbing with varied activities and
the charm Of a capital where intellect
Is supreme, and thus it was that in the
years Of his greatest achievements he
returned to Clinton and purchased an
estate which adjoins the old home
stead. Here he has a fine farm and
here, with his family, he spends as
much time as he can spare from his
official and professional duties.
