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 it's
motors in outlying positions.
When, however, the mains from some
large electric power company pass with
in reach Of farm or estate the condi-
tions are much more favorable, and
this state Of things must already exist
in measure which will be 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 cleo
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 are
provided. which may be used for driv-
ing pumps, circular saws. threshing ma
chlnery, and so forth, at any point
where their services are required. The
houses and buildings on the farms are
all lit by electricity, 8 ar: lamps and
about 1000 glow lamps being used for
the purpose.
1t must be pointed out, however, that
this example could only be followed In
the United States on very large es.,te
or a group of adjacent farn,s. 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

and displays cu:loIsly progressive
spirit in country where farm fences
are almost unknown. and shepherds and
cowherds are still living amid pictur-
esque realities.

Tom Dimsdale's duties were far from
light Not only was he expected to super
wise the clerks accounts and to treat with
the wholesale dealers, but he was also
supposed to spend a great part Of his tins
in the docks, overlooking the loading Of
the outgoing ships and checking the cargo
Of the incoming ones. This latter portion
of his work was welcome as taking him
some hours a day from the close counting
house, and allowing him to get sniff of
the sea air. There was a pleasing life and
