RUNNING FARM WITHOUT WORK.
Not Quite That, But q Creek Does
Many Things by Electricity.

A progressive farmer in New York
state heralds the era of kid glove
farming, according to the Technical
World Magazine. He has made lazi.
ness a success, and can nc,v do his
farm work without a backache.
There is a little creek running
through his farm. This he has har.
messed and forced to run a dynamo.
which in turn gives light and heat
for the house and outbuildings.
But Mr.. Miner was not satisfied with
his accomplishment The hardest task
about the farm, the one which every.
one most dreaded, was turning the
milk separator at a speed of 7,4O0
revolutions per minute. This had
been done by hand.
So Mr.. Miner installed motor
which turned the milk separator every
morning and evening satisfactorily
without any hard labor on the part
OF the progressive farmer.
The next job to be hitched I'D to
the new horse was turning the big
barrel churn. Then came the grind.

bear during the harvest season. The
millstream was next made to pump
the water for household use up to
the roof, where there was q, large res.
ervoir for storing it.
But wood had to be used for the
cookstove, and the sled-length logs
had to be cut down, so circular saw
was added to the outfit and a new
use was thus found for the electric
current.

DIFFICULT 70 STEER a SHIP.
Man at the Helm Works with the Cur.
talns Tightly Drawn.

The work of steering a great ship,
even with the aid of all the machinery,
is much more delicate than one would
Imagine The larger and faster the
ship the greater is the difficulty. It is
not enough to hold the wheel in the
same position to keep the ship on her
course, for the wind and waves and
the currents Of the ocean tend con-
stantly to knock the ship of her
course. The great wall of steel-for
the hull may be 700 feet long and 60
feet high-offers a broad target for
the wind and waves.
The art of steering is to humor the
ship to these forces and when she is
detected to bring her back quickly to
her course. If you could watch the
pinnacle, especially in bad weather,
you would see the needle of the com.
pass constantly shifting from side to
side, which means that the great
steel PROV is not going forward in
a perfectly straight line.
The most astonishing thing about
the bridge is to find the wheelhouse
with all its curtains tightly drawn,
as often happens, and the man at the
helm steering the boat without see.
Ing ahead at all. At night or even
by day, il the light of the pinnacle
is confusing, the wheelhouse is often
completely shut in. The man at the
wheel. it is explained, does not need
to look ahead. The lookout high up
