NuBB1Ns OF FARM NEWS.

Farming in New Mexico has been given
great impetus during the past few
years By the work Of the farmers insti-
tutes and many unproductive values have
been turned into rich grain and fruit
fields.
Frank Donnelly of the town of Oak
Grove, Barron county, Wis, was bitten
four weeks ago by a vicious boar, and
blood poisoning set in, from the effects Of
which he died after three weeks of suf-
fering.
Forty young Indians have been received
at the government Indian agricultural
school at Wahpeton, n. d. Most of the
young students are from Fort Berthold.
but few Of them are from the Sisseton
reservation.
A movement has been started for the
organization of the various farmer ele-
vator companies in South Dakota. A
meeting has been held in Sioux Falls and
about so per cent of the managers have
expressed themselves as favorable to thu
plan.

Electric Farming.

Although agricultural machinery
originated in the United States and the
American farmer used patent mowers,
reapers and threshing machines long
before their European contemporaries
In the same field of labor had put aside
scythe, rake and fail, the possibility
of introducing electric power in farm
work was first recognized in the Old
World.
This has probably been due to the
fact that the farmers Of America,
thrifty and far-seeing, recognizing the
economy and reliability Of the small
oil engine failed to perceive how any
saving could be effected by generating
| electric current and distributing to its
motors in outlying positions.
When, however, the mains from some
/ large electric power company pass with
in reach of a farm or estate the condi-
tiOns are much more favorable, and
this state of things must already exist
in a measure which Will b6~largely eX-
tended in the future. Current German
newspapers contain an interesting ac-
count of the application Of electricity to
group Of farms in Saxony. The elec-
trio current is brought from an ada
cent town by overhead wires carried
on wooden poles. Two receiving sta
tiOns are arranged, from which the. cleo
tricity is distributed to the farm build
ings and to convenient positions n the
fields for the purpose of driving thresh-
ing and other machinery.
Sixteen fixed electric motors are in
stalled for chaff' and root cutting. oat
crushing, pumping and for operating
machinery used in the manufacture Of
potato spirit. In addition to this pow
er equipment, six portable motors arc
provided, which may be used for driv-
ing pumps, circular saws, threShing ma
chinery, and SO forth, at any point
where their services are required. The
houses and buildings on the farms are
all lit by electricity, ar; lamps and
about 1000 glow lamps being used for
'ue purpose.
1t must be pointed out, however, that |
this example could only be followed in
the United States on very large es:ate |
or group of adju"ent farms. and it is
doubtful whether such scheme could |
be made a commercial success for the |
operation of farming machinery pure |
and simple. 1t would appear tLat wood |
saving, pumping and other operations |
requiring power mus be in '(uded if |
the results are to compare favorabiy |
with those at present obtained by the
use Of oil or steam engines. But the
Saxon experiment is full Of interest
and displays a cu:lously progressive
spirit in a country where Farm fences
are almost unknown, aud shepherds and
cowherds are still living amid pictur-
esque realities

The smooth top edge always seen on
saws is changed to cutting edge, SINH

saw thus having teeth on the two longi-
tudinal opposite edges. The handle is
hinged to the blade instead of being
rigid and can be reversed as it becomes
necessary to use either blade. This
saw is also an economical saw, as it
saves the expense of purchasing two
