tne IdTin, eacn year
farming becomes more human with
less backache and hard work for the
men and women on the farm; each
year the conditions of the rural inhab
itants of the country are improved
with new and better farming machin-
cry, telephones, ruralfree delivery and
better prices for farm produce.
For years the most perplexing prob
lem of farm life has been the employ
ment of suitable labor Farm hands
are very scarce and they must be paid
good wages or they will not stay Mod
ern invention has produced a machine
for nearly every disagreeable chore on
the farm, but these diverse machines
require power-if there is no engine
handy then the wheels of these. ma
chimes must be turned by hand.
And 1t is right here that science. re-
Numbering this eternal worry of the
farmer, has stepped in and solved the
power question with electrical appa-
ratus and motors just suited for farm
work. This new hired man. never
kicks at getting up at $40 a. m:
never objects to scrubbing the milk
cans and never gets mad and quits the
very morning that five acres of hay
are ready for the barn. And he will
