farm by three machines, and two men
are required TO keep the cans empty
and to change the machines from one

milk the ninety cows takes from "a

this equipment. however, five men
were required for doing the same
work and they worked three hours al
each milking. Thus, two men can
now do the work in two hours which
formerly required Eve men and three
hours. The amount Of electrical en-
ergy used per day averages six ksF-nr. !,
at seven cents per kw-hr., the cost
per day being forty-two cents. An
other feature recommending this sys-
tenn of milking is that it is more san

On this farm, electric current is also
used In grinding all the feed ana pre-
pairing it for the cattle. This Is done
Nv means of small feed grinder
which is driven by ten hip. motor,
mounted on a truck. Approximately
500 bushels of grain are ground eacn
month for feed and a very consider
able saving is effected. 1t is stored
In the granary, which is located ON the
second floor directly above the COW
and horse stables. Actual tests show
that an average of six kw-hr. Is re-
'quired for grinding bushel OF grain
at an average cost per kw-hr. OF about
seven cents, figured on the maximum
demand system and ten cent, fve

an expense OF 40 cents Per bushel OF
monthly cost of s21 for power. The
feed grinders have a capacity Of TWEEN

ILLINOIS FARMER ADOPTS ELEc
TRICKY.

Near the village OF Crystal Lake,
fifty miles west OF Chicago, certain
farmer has installed electric power for
milking. cream separating, feed grind
ing and several other tasks. The
electricity for the model farm is se-
cured from transmission lines which
pass about one mile from the house
Consequently no power plant has TO
be maintained and the electric current
Is purchased when needed, without
waste, for few cents a horse power
hour
| The power milking installation is
most interesting. A small electric
motor is geared to vacuum pump
which operates the milking machines
When not in use for this purpose, the
pump is used as an air compressor
to operate domestic water system
This pump Is connected to q stee
tank by suitable pipes, from which the
air is exhausted to as near vacuum

SWEET OLD AGE.


An old, old man is trudging by,
His head is bowed, his eyes are dim;
a little while and he must die.
But have I cause to pity him?
Success is coupled with Els name,
The record he has made is clean;
Respected, righteous and serene.
He hears no word of hate or blame,
And as he nears the closing scene
His yisage bears no tinge OF shame.
The way that he has come is long.
The end is near, his work Is done;
Where foes beset him he was strong,
The peace he claims has been well
won;
Behind him lie the terrors we
Who follow him shall have to face;
Beyond the danger of disgrace,
He nears his goal triumphantiy,
And in his breast there is no place
For bitterness or enmity.
His hands are weak, his steps are
slow,
Ambition urges him In vain.
With but little way to go,
He passes, leaning on his cane:
Free from remorse and from regret,
Contentment gladdens all his days;
No specters rise before his gaze,
No haunting fears his soul beset;
He has no wish for empty praise,
No sinful triumphs to forget.
His children have been guided past
The pits that opened, deep and
wide,
And, needing him no more, at last
Have children Of their own to guide:
Love has enriched him; he is free
From obligations and from care;
z He has no cause to wonder where
Or ask what his reward may be;
All, proud old age. and sweet ana
rare
That lends its grace to such as he

WHITE SOX JOLT
ATHLETIC HOPES

Taking a doubie-header from those
Phillies yesterday was like taking
sweetmeats from a small boy, only the
small boy might have put up a fight
The Cubs landed both victories of the
double combat with such ease that
several of the stars were permitted to
lay off in the middle OF the second
contest The scores were to 1 and
13 to 8.
The Giants landed only one victory
down In st. Loo, so the Cubs gained a
half game on them and now are Ave

The Phillies put up a sorry defense
and never had a chance In either bat
tie The f1rst one was won so easily
by the home team that the fans grew
restless and eager for the second, hop
ing something more thrilling would
take place. The second was won more
easily and the only thrills were watch
ing the Cubs swat the ball
This they did with such reckless
freedom that they wore out three
members of Dooin's hurting staff and
amassed fifteen base hits for a total
of twenty-four bases In the first
contest they whaled out eight safe
drives and had the game won in the
first inning when four big tallies were
damned over the plate.

The players called on Coach Stage
and informed him that they would
come out for the official practice next
month and would be in shape to COM
pete during the season. Smith had
been uncertain OF his plans for this
fall. and Whiteside was supposed to
have given up football after keeping
out of the game for the season.
Whiteside Is badly needed in the
line and his return will do much to
raise Chicago stock in the forward
wall. Carpenter, captain of the team,
is the only other veteran lined up so
far for the heavy work as the team
has lost the services of whiting, Scru-

for tackle to tackle stars.
Goettler. the 1911 end, has notified
Stage that he intends to DE on the Job
the middle OF September. and he is
counted on to take care of one of the
ends. Goddard is an uncertainty. The
guard expected to return this fall but
Coach Stage has heard that he is not
likely to join the squad.

field a boost. Red" Paine, last years
