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
a stout steel wire rope.
Now he was ready for the unique
feature of his plan. Two uninsulated
copper wires were suspended betw cen
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

when the motor pillow reached any Of
them, and placed back of 1t, thus en-
abling the motor to be driven at will
through its trolley pole connection,
while the wire carrying the current
was always kept at a fair distance
above the field. The pillow was fas-
tened to the front Of the motor car
and both were operated from the seat
on the motor box. It sounds cumbrous

SKILLFUl HUNTING.

Five minutes of thorough. systemat-
ic search for lost object is often more
effectual than half an hour Of desul-
tory hunting, which, in its excited
furry, often passes in plain sight the
article which it seeks. An example
of this principle is often seen in the
case of the small boy, who, when the
family have scrambled vainly about
for the dropped thimble, announces
that he will look for it Indian fash
lon" He lies quietly down on the
floor, and bringing his eye on level
with the carpet, soon spies the missing
object. In "A Girl in the Kappa
tbians," Miss Dowie gives another in
stance of letting brains do the work
of the muscles.
The party was riding up steep
mountainside when suddenly the au-
thor discovered that she had lost her
gold watch. 1t was an heirloom and
much valued; there was nothing to do
but to turn back on the trail. About
two miles before she had made the
discovery her horse had slipped, and
she had rolled off. 1t must have been
then that her watch was dropped.
The little party returned on the path,
wildly searching here and there. When
they reached the place of the tumble
there was a grand hunt, which lasted
q long time.
Then, tired out and heated, the
searchers returned to where the horses
were tethered and acknowledged them
selves beaten. I've turned up every
fern leaf and grass blade" said one.
Its no use," exclaimed the author;
and she declared she would not look
again for all the watches in the world.
A young artist in the party had
stayed with the horses while the rest
were hunting. Now he announced
that it was his turn to try. The 9th
ers laughed, but they willingly sat
down to rest while the young man
went off down the hillside. 1t was
lot long before they heard a "Hur-
rah!' and the artist appeared, holding
up the watch in triumph.
Il almost always find things" he
said. Il search like a dog. 1 lay
down on my face and listened, and
heard the ticking when the watch was
a meter away. Then crawled on my
hand- and knees until found it,

These posts are formed of a number

BY ELECTRIC POWER.
HOW MANY FARMERS WILL OP.
ERATE THEIR FARMS.
A1riculturist May Read His Newspaper
In tho Shade of the Old Apple Tree
While Electricity Does His Work
RaiIways 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 it pleases them to
adapt it. ALI 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
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 it.
why" says he, If 1 have a motor
capable of running my corn huskers,
water pump, wood saw, grindstone
and threshing machine and leaving me
a 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 we'll 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 fat
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
the washer, and the electrical current
does the rest: place the wet garments

this that he drew that 10y Of the
which keeps him SO steadily
employed and which causes him to be
regarded as a 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 metropolis
throbbing with varied activities and
the charm of capital where intellect
is supreme, and thus it was that in the
wears of his greatest achievements no

estate which adjoins the old homo

here, with his family, he spends "a

many other things which require pow
or, and for which the use Of machinery
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 80 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 it
furnishes a substantial means Of rev.
enue to the companies; but some farm
ers have gone beyond the application
Of power to stationary machinery and
are obviating the need Of horses on the
farm by working their plows, harv est
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 a consid-
cradle item, whereas the three horse
power motor in his barn, which did the
work of five men, had never cost him
more than 81 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 a
part Of the millennium we are prom
1sed, but which Is not on the cards Of
the present. Accordingly the farmer
became student Of electrical applica-
ton and methods of power. If the
electric supply companies couldn't help
him he proposed to help himself. Dur
ing the winter he had a small motor

For twenty-five years this honest man

He and his chief were both poor at

aged bookkeeper had only saved a few
hundreds. His salary, you see, was
only $25 week.
He didn't think the banker would
remember the twenty-fifth anniversary

did. That morning he handed the
bookkeeper sealed envelope.
