BOY HAS PLAN TO FEED HORSES
Automatic Labor-savins Device Is the
Work of Fourteen-Year.old.

Middleboro. Mass.-One Of the most
unique displays in the home work de-

was the automatic horse feeder made
by Arthur Ripley. a li-year-old high
school student. Visiting teachers and
superiutendents werc much interest

young electrician was kept busy dur
ing the exhibition explaining his feed
er and demonstrating its usefulness.

partitions for the different kinds Of

on hinges A lever which held the
bottom in position wis connected with

sponded with the time on the clock in
side the box.
The alarm is set at the time the
horses are to be fed. and the farmer
could then go about his other work
and at the proper time the alarm
would go OF. releasing the lever and
dropping the bottom of the box. which
allowed the grain to fall into the
manger in front of the horse. A small
electric light is attached to the upper
side of the clock box. which shows the
farmer where the box is without &
lantern, SO that the possibility of set
ting fire TO the barn is averted. Eact
day the box is filled with grain anc
