a majority of the farm homes and

by hundreds.
With the general use of the gasoline
engine this has been made possible
Electric light and power companies in
several of the cities are also making
plans by which they can supply farm
ers with current from their trunk
lines. A notable case of this sort is
found at Manhattan! where the power
for electric generation is furnished by
a dam on the Big Blue river, four
miles from the city.
The current generated is used for
electric lighting and( street car pur-
poses in the city of Manhattan, and
farmers living near the trunk line are
using it in their residences, barns and
feed lots. In the early morning hours
when the farmers feed and care for
their stock and do the milking cleo
trio lights are found totbe very useful
In a rich farming community ten
miles north of Atchison the farmers
have decided to have aA electric light
plant Of their own. They will build a
small power house where current will
be generated and from which it will
be carried into their homes. Fifteen
families will share in this modern sys-
TEN of lighting.
Several farmers living ten miles West
of Atchison have small dynamos on
their farms. providing electric light for
their homes, barns and dairy build
ings. Recently the town of Troy. forty
miles north of Atchison, contracted for
light from the Atchison plant. A
trunk line wire was stretched between
the two places, and now twenty five
farmers along the route are connecting
their homes with this trunk line.
ELECTRIC CEMENT HOUSES.
Far out in western Kansas the farm
ers are using electricity for lighting
their homes. Near Garden City, which
a few years ago was in the center of
the great American desert, there are
farms where all the buildings are made
of cement concrete, and each is lighted
with electricity generated by a gaso-
line engine on the place.
The early pioneer way of living and
the modern system are blended on one
farm. A farmer is still living in a sod
house built a quarter of a century ago.
He is constructing a new and up to
date home in which he has installed a
gasoline engine with which to gener-
ate electricity for lighting. He will
not move out of the old sod house until
March because of it's warmth and COM
fort in winter, but he is enjoying cleo
trio lights in that primitive dwelling.
1t is believed this is the only instance
in which a sod house has been lighted
by electricity.
In the natural gas regions of south
eastern Kansas the electric light is
cheaper than gas.
