Electrical Power For Farms

In an editorial upon farming meth
DDS the Electrical Review says that the
advances made in transporting and
manufacturing since the adaptation
of electricity to motors should be re-
peated on the farm. Says the Review :
1t will be strange if before long
the spirit of advance does not infuse
a new life into farming methods. May
we not expect that our newer power
agencies will extend their influence
to the work of the farm. relieving it
of much of the drudgery that still ex-
lists and making the work as attractive
and pleasant as any other pursuit?
When this comes about we may expect
to see farming take on new life and
flourish again in places where it has
long languished. Deserted farms may
then be reclaimed and profitable
field of work offered to many who now
crowd into the manufacturing towns
in search of surer means of liveli
hood.
An instance is cited of a small
waterfall on an abandoned mill site
was harnessed and made to do work
of two horses and light the buildings
on two farms. The total cost of in
stallation was about equal to the val
ne of two good horses. and the cost of
running the plant is practically no.
thing. 1t requires but little expert
knowledge to handle electricity, mys-
terious as this agent is. Many Of the
successful electricians of today knew
nothing of the subject a few years
ago. The knowledge of machinery re
quired for farm plant is possessed
by the average farmer already. Given
the power, which is simple and cheap
if drawn from a stream, the applica-
tion OF it to the machine can be made
by an amateur. and this being the
case the farm should not be the last
and least to profit by this wonderful
agent. Capitalists are reaching out
for the great waterfall energy of the
country with view to setting it to
turning wheels. An idea that is good
for them in large way may be good
for the agriculturist in small way.

LONDON, April 15.-England' s

This naturalized Englishman has

BY HARRY G.. FARMER.

any debts. If he has, a discussion
on them can be forced, and a lot OF
nasty things said, before the house
of commons votes the money for
the liquidation of the royal debtor.
When Queen Victoria passed
away at Osborne, King Edward, had
he been an ordinary citizen, would
have been called bankrupt.
Throughout his career as prince of
Wales he had lived way beyond his
means. and though his mother sew
eral times had helped him out OF
financial holes, his first worry,
when he came to succeed her. was
the long list of those to whom he
owed money.
Sir Ernest came to the front just
at the right time. Immediately af-
ter Victoria's death. he hurried to
Osborne and offered to take over
all the liabilities Of the king. Ed
ward accepted, and Arthur Balfour,
then prime minister, was able to
announce to the house of commons.
to the surprise of everyone, that
| there were no debts"
Cassel did not stop at paying off
the kings obligations. He under
took the reorganization of the whole
expenditure Of the court. Plain
business methods were introduced,
useless servants dismissed, third
class railway tickets furnished trav-
cling royal flunkeys. castle waste
reduced to minimum, and now.
thanks to Cassel, the British court
has the reputation of being more
economically managed than any
other royal household in Europe.
This Is what has given Cassel his
influence over Edward, and though
he has aroused much jealousy no
body has ever accused him of using
his position except for beneficial
| results. He Is great believer In
the peace program of King Edward
and has really directed the diplo-
mats Journeys of England's rulers
to the continental courts.
Cassel's greatest accomplishment
was the financing of the recently
completed Egyptian irrigation
scheme. which makes unnecessary
the centuries old dependence of
Egyptian farmers on the overflow
ing Of the Nile. Even Lord Conner
was unable to carry out this i'm
provement. because Egypt refused
to allow him to touch public money
for it.
| Cassel stepped in, put the scheme
on a business basis provided the
money and is making a fortune for
himself, for the profits now are
much more than sufficient to pay
interest and establish sinking
fund. Cassel's Egyptian work es-
tablished his reputation as one OF
the great financial geniuses Of the
age.
Edward repeatedly has said he
regards Cassel as the cleverest
man In England, Recently at a
state banquet, Edward told guest
the secret of Cassel's success
Somebody asked him how Cassel
succeeded in building up the Nile
Irrigation scheme. "One OF Oscar

summer to pull off the international
