He was traced TO the homo Of . relative

DR.. Van Nest appeared with his brother
at the Greenwich street station. and a
friend Of the family. Gerard Foster Of

Since then. the first his friends outside

No less than three different names

ings 1t also makes possible a con
venient source of power in any par
of the farms or outbuildings, which
of necessity, are widely distributed
and cost OF generating the current
including interest and depreciation
charges, is probably not over cent.
per horse power per hour.
In bottling room at a milk dairy
in Morristown, N j., the walls, cell
ings and floors of all rooms in which
the milk is handled are washed
down daily, both morning and eve
ning-the electric lighting fixtures
being entirely watertight.
"Dairying" and "stock raising u
are usually followed where land
needs up-building and fertility, and
in either the silo is necessity, cut
ting up succulent forage crops and
storing them in the silo for later
use being the accepted method of
preparing the feed. To do this the
farmer must have power, but 10
h. p. electric motor with it's CAP
acity for momentary overload will
do work that would stall a gasoline
engine rated to IL or Is h. p. Hence
for silage cutting and elevating, a
10 h p. electric motor is sufficient
where 20 h. p. gasoline engine
would be recommended.
The farmer can easily recognize
the advantage of the electric motor
Tor this operation, and, when once
adopted, he soon wants to use the
c. trent for grinding feed, baling hay
and other purposes.
On the dairy farm, however elect
richly offers other opportunities as

ergy for operating an artificial re-

ELECTRIFYING THE FARM

On all farms there exists a de
mand for power, and where electri
city can be purchased from nearby
transmission wires, on farms 10.
Gated near Villages and cities having
electric light stations, there is nc
better or cheaper power than elect
lricity. 1t affords at once an abun-
dance of energy for all kinds of
work and under all conditions, at
the same time it can be used to
light the home and the barns and
for cooking the food or to assist
with the homework.
On farms where stock raising is
the rule it has become quite the GUS
tom to grind the grain feed and to
cut the corn, alfalfa and hay before
feeding. This requires the services
of gasoline engine or an electric
motor.
Electricity is gaining a foothold
for both lighting and power in our
better class Of dairy farms. It's gen
eral cleanliness and safety for light
ing leave little room for argument
when new dairy buildings are being
planned. And,on account of it's con-
venience as form of power, It is
frequently used to drive cream sep
arators, churns, refrigerating ma
chimes, milk testers, and also in the
barn and field work incidental to the
preparation of feed and handling of
crops.
On large milk farm at Plains
boro, N. j., electricity is used for
lighting, clipping cows, operating a
bottling machine, spinning tinfoil
caps or seals on bottles, cutting en-
silage, running saw mill, pump
ing water from a deep we'll, grind
ing feed and elevating it to storage
bins. The fact that this is COM
mercial plant turning cut daily from
$500 to 1000 quarts Of milk, where
high standard of quality is rigidly
maintained, is evidence that there
must be advantages in using electri-
city In such an installation.
The total acreage of the farm is
nearly 1900, and at present about 20
per cent is under cultivation. Thirty ;
fve horse power of electricity is gen. {
Grated by steam power and distri-
buted at 220 volts. This is not a
large generating plant, but it en-
sures cleanliness of lighting equip ;
ment and safety from fire risk in I

changed its plans slightly as to the
location of it's depot and the streets
to be closed by it's passenger trains
and being DESTROYS of keeping
Bridge street clear by trains going
north, and Alice street by south
bound trains, submitted an ordin-
ance providing for the closing of
Pacific and Idaho streets. The Com
pany's plans provide for fifteen foot
walks for pedestrians only at the
south end of the passenger depot on
Pacific street and one on Idaho street
The platforms at the ends of the de-
pot reach to Bridge street, and to
Alice street, not including the streets.
The passenger depot and platforms
are to cover three blocks. A park
one block long is to occupy the space
between the present depot and the
street in front of the Land office.
The switches are to be taken up and
leave only the main track through

quarters, the nearby town. or to an,
places whatever, by long distance
If necessary Mr.. Ramdell has ais,
introduced several electrical device,
for saving labor on his farm.
That electricity on the farm is q
great economy, not only through
convenience, cleanliness and safety
but also in actual cost of operation
can be proved over and over again in
the case of those installations where
the service is properly installed and
where apparatus of suitable type and
size has been selected. For example
in one instance where the monthly
output is considerable, the cost of
electric power averaged from one
half to one and one-half mills per
pound of butter made, the rate of
charge for current being 21a cents
per kilowatt-hour. Considering the
cleanliness, minimum unkeep and
labor required, this cost becomes
negligible, and the difference incid-
entail to burning kerosene, while
somewhat dependent upon the rel
alive rates of charge, is actually in
favor of electricity, when chimneys,
wicks and time of trimming are con-
sidered.
1t may, therefore, be accepted as a
fact that on the farm, as elsewhere,
electricity for lighting and power re-
suits in lower cost, but to make this
statement so that 1t cannot be dis
pued, I would add that where electric
service cannot be obtained from
public supply on basis that will in
sure reasonable rates, it is entirely !
within the privilege of the farmer or
rural dweller to equip his property
with private generating plant that
will give him light and power at
moderate cost, and the operation of
such plant should not be difficult for
anyone to understand.
A plant on the farm of J. P. F.
Forrest, Poynette, Wisconsin, per-
haps embodies a maximum of sim
plicity and minimum of operating ex-
pense, as an equipment within the
reach Of anyone desiring the benefit
Of electricity with very moderate
outlay. In this instance, small
lynamo C amperes, IS volts at $50
rev. per min.) is belted to the YER
ical shaft of a windmill. As the
mill speed is not constant, an auto
matte cut-in is introduced in the
electrical circuit between the dyna-
no and the storage battery, from
which the lighting current is taken, I
he charging of this battery being the ,
ole duty of the dynamo.

This plant develops current for 1
Is watt, 25 volt tungsten
amps. Its whole cost is $50, ex-
lusive of transportation but including
dynamo storage battery,
utomatic cut-in, wire, porcelain in y
ulators, sockets, switches and tung-
ten lamps. The owner did the COM
lete wiring and arranging of the 4
ghts and switches. The two years
successful operation and the
everness of the lighting scheme,
hich embodies several two-way and
lree-wayswitches for distant control

certainly an indication that Mr.. Z
