Intrinsic liuht of Stars

M. Nordmann of the observatory of
Paris has made some interesting cal
culations of the intrinsic light of a
number Of stars, based On the results
he had previously attained in regard
to their effective temperatures. The
brightness of star, as seen from the
earth, does not depend wholly upon
its size and distance. Thus M. Nord-
mann finds that Sirius and Vega emit
light, the brightness of which is six
million C. p. per square centimeter.
While at the other end of the scale
the light of Aldebaran amounts to
only $4,000 C. p. per square centime.

ION the majority of these farms irrigation is
practiced and quite naturally electricity first
made use of for pumping purp 3es. Then under
The influence of progressive local central station
operators it was almost universally adopted for
light.
II can recall seeing electric lights and the
electric fatiron in in the farm home on the
Pacific coast eleven years ago. The people were
content to enjoy the advantages which these
improvements made possible to them, but did
not seem to egard their conditions unusual
Their farms were in fact electric farms and their
industries, dependent upon the produce of the
land, were as they are now, practically all oper
ated by electricity
"A brief summary of the work accom-
plished shows that construction Is under way
has been completed on twenty-nine projects, in
volving an expenditure of s65 1000 In the
eight years of actual work there have been dug
1000 miles of canals and more than nineteen
miles of tunnels mostly excavated through
mountains. The total excavation of rock and
earth amounts to 100000 cubic yards There
have been built $40 miles of roads, LOO hies
Of telephones, and there are now in operation
e75 miles of transmission lines, which
plus power and light furnished to several
cities and towns.
THE small farms and villages grouped about
these developments give the effect of suburban
rather than rural conditions. The cheap power
developed from the great dams from numer-
Gus drops in the main canals is now utilized for
the operation of trolley lines, which reach out
into the rural districts, bringing the farmer In
closer touch with the city. 1t runs numerous
Industrial plants for storing, handling and manu-
featuring the products of the farm. The
same power is used for lighting and heating in
the towns, and for cooking in the homes. On
several of the projects the farmers are applying
for electrical power. and in many farm houses
electric power is utilized for many domestic pur-
poses.
More than a million dollars has been invest
ed In the development of power the Salt
River project, of which the farmers have volun-
tariy raised 100000. The sale of the power up
to the beginning of the present year amounted
to $4,000, with the plant only partially con-
structed. This revenue will contribute material
ly toward lessening the cost of operating the rri
cation system.

milk, where an exceptionally high standard OF

quality Is rlgldly main taned, Is evidence that
there must be advantages in using electricity in
such installation
The total acreage of the farm is nearly
1,20O, and at present about 70 per cent. is under
cultivation. Electricity is generated by steam
power and distributed at 22O volts. The gener-
athg equipment at present consists of 25-
k1lowatt direct connected unit steam boiler, etc.
This is not large generating plant, to be
sure but it insures cleanliness of lighting equip
ment and safety from fire risk in the barns,
bunk houses and outbuidings. 1t also makes
possible a convenient source of power in any
part of the farms outbuildings, which OF nee
essity widely distributed, and cost of gen
Grating the current including interest and de-
probation charges, is probably not over four
cents kilowatt hour.
Scientific milk production is and
more coming into prominence and the necessity
for perfect cleanliness, immediate cooling and
keeping the milk at a low temperature cOmpels
such dairy farmers to adopt devices that will
be most helpful in obtaining these results. There
is a milk dairy in Morristown N. j., where the
walls, ceilings and floors of all rooms in which
the milk is handled washed down daily. both
morning and evening-the electric lighting fix
cures being entirely water tight
"Dairying and stock raising are usually fol-
lowed where land needs upbuilding in fertility,
and in either the silo Is necessity cutting up
succulent forage crops and storing them in the
silo for later being the accepted method OF
preparing the feed. To do this the farmer must
have power, but ten horsepower electric mo-
tor with its capacity for momentary overload
will do the work that would stall gasoline en-
CINE rated at twelve to fifteen horsepower.
"The farmer easily recognize the advan-
tage of the electric motor for this operation and
when adopted he soon wants to the
current for grinding feed baling hay and other
purposes.

has caught the scientific spirit Of the time and
is getting practical results from his realization
of the fact that methods must accommodate
themselves to changing conditions
At the annual convention of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers held recently
in Boston, the electrical farm considered in
paper by Putnam A. Bates. He discussed in
some detail the work being done by farm
