ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

E. B. Miner of Oriskany Falls, N. Y,
has solved the problem of progressive
farming. He has made a success of
kid-glove farming and can now do the
hardest work on the premises without
a backache. The heavy work on the
Miner farm, and most of the lighter
work, too, is done by electricity while
the farmer and his good family stand
idly by and watch the wheels 60 round.
There is little creek running through
Mr.. Miners farm, and he has merely
put the stream to work and is doing the
playing himself. This stream he has
harnessed to run small dynamo, which
in turn gives him electric light, heat
and power for his home and farm build
ings. A small dam of the flow type was
built of concrete. The fall is about 6
feet. A small power house was equip
ped with water wheel and $50 volt
generator. The electricity is carried to
the house and barn by cables.
At the spacious farm house electricity
lights all the rooms, heats number of
apartments; runs the sewing machine
and will also be used to cook the food.
The cream is separated by electricity
and the heavy barrel churn is run by
the same power. A small motor drives
the buzz saws, the grindstone, the feed
cutters, the tanning mill and pumps the
water.
The cost of the plant was trifing con-
sidering what it does. 1t runs night and
day and requires practically no atten-
ton further than oiling twice week.
There are doubtless hundreds of other
places throughout the country where
small water power could be utilized and
similar plant installed.

off the steam, and the piano upset. Tc
add to the unpleasantness the fog shut
down before we made the Cape Charles
lightship and the writer went to SLEEP
with the fog whistle sounding. At 4.S(
a. m. we were locked at Norfolk. II
was cold, cloudy morning.
An early morning walk up town re-
vealed many improvements since a first
visit 80 years ago. 1t was thought then
that Norfolk was the dirtiest place
ever seen, but trip to Portsmouth re-
vealed still dirtier place. There was
an Atlantic Hotel then, but the struc-
ture standing on its site is apparently
new and up to date and the dilapidated
two and three story buildings in the vi
entity have given way to handsome
business blocks, of stone mainly. Nor
folk was at one time the third cotton
shipping port of this country, and may
be today, and it makes large shipments
of naval stores and in their season OF
oysters, early vegetables and fruits. 1t
is not unusual for the steamers of the
NJ. & M. T. Co. to carry north $4,000 to
so, 900 water melons on single trip.
A longshoremen's strike was on at
Norfolk and three steamers of the line
were tied up there when the Kershaw
arrived Among other things on the
pier awaiting shipment north were
large quantities of peanuts. Our timer
airy called for spending the day at Old
Point Comfort and Newport News and
at a. m. we started in special trolley
car for the former place. The country
was about half under water from recent
rains and the dirt roads looked to be al
most impossible. There were negro
huts here and there, many of them
wretched looking novels. We noted
one field of strawberries in bloom, an
other of half grown early cabbage, and
in others dozen or more negroes were
gathering spinach. The last of the
ride was over white sand, without vege-
tation, on which cottages had been built
here and there, with many vacant lots
for SALE At the end of the line we
boarded a steamer and were ferried
across to Old Point Comfort, landing at
a pier in front of Hotel Chamberlain.

A Tragedy in Hampden.

HAMPDEN, Me-, April II. Mrs. Wal
ter Ballard, aged 80, took the life of her
infant child by administering carbolic
acid and then committed suicide by
taking dose of the same poison, today,
during the absence of her husband A
note was left for the bereaved husband
and father, but its contents w.re not
made public. No motive for the act
was known and it was believed to have
been due to temporary alteration of
the mind.
When Mr.. Ballard, who is team
ster, returned, this afternoon, from a
trip to Bangor. he found the doors of
his home, which is located at Hampden
Corner, were securely locked. He
gained an entrance through window
and was Mortified to find the bodies of
his young wife, and child of a few
months laying cold in death on one of
the beds. He rushed to the house of a
neighbor for assistance and Dr. H. w.
Mason was called. DR.. Mason found
that the lives had been extinct for an
hour or more. Mr.. and Mrs. Ballard
had resided here most of their lives.

THE FIRST FLOWER.

Under the leaves on the south of the hill,
Where the wind and the winter have wasted
their will
And the faded grass whispers and blinks in
The season eas moi Of seven sweet moons is begun
The season of seven fair crescents and
crowns,
Ere the frost and the autumn's slow fruit
age embr0wns
The green and the crimson, the gold and
OF woods where the first flower is walked
into bloom.
For the first flower is prophet of all that
was dreams,
The dappled lane shadows. the ripple of
streams,
The old hope and love that so lately was
And the u oId song that waits once again to
be sung.
All, would that the last flower might bloom
and fulfil
The pledge ;'Ig of this first on the south of the
And would the last moon might incline to
it's slope
In memory as sweet as the first is in hope.

Rest is the great restorer. We tire out
muscles by exercise and then rest to restore
them yet great many of us do not stop to
think how little rest we give to our
stomachs. AS a usual thing no part of our

stomach will give signs of distress to which
we pay no heed until at last Dyspepsia
takes hold. Indigestion is just warning,
and if we heed the warning we can easily
avoid further consequences. KODOL is a

the scene of so many wrecks. Only
eight, including three ladies, responded
to the meal calls. One young man,
whose wife was confined to her state

sick himself but was badly frightened
and remained in the smoking room all
day. The writer has had quite an ex-
perience in seagoing, but the motion of
the kershaw in the heavy following sea
was something new. Several of the
passengers were thrown down and quite
badly injured, and the stewardess was
thrown across the deck and received a
black eye and had the muscles in one
arm ruptured. Mr...Durning, in charge of
the Marsters excursion party, started
to walk short distance in the smoking
room to speak to one of the party, when
he was whirled around and fired across
the room as if shot out of gun. His
head brought up against window, and

performance was given.
A musical comedy, under the title Of
"The George: A Midsummer Nights

sketch. This, too, contained much that
was amusing, particularly 10 students
of the university.
