The days of the old fashioned hired
man are numbered Electricity is
driving him out Ask any farmer if
he has ever had any trouble with his
hired man, and he will gaze at you,
speechless with indignation. The
shortcomings of the hired man have
been a fruitful topic of humor in the
American comic periodicals ever
since he has existed as an institution.
With the perfecting of farming ma
chinery, mechanical energy is dis
placing manual labor and the plough
horse by leaps and bounds. Electric
ity is the best hired man. 1t demands
no days off, and never abuses the
stock. 1t does not eat you out of
house and hcme, and its fixed char
ges are far less than those of the av
erage hired man A complete elec.
trical outfit will do the work of many
hlred men and hOrSeS, ana never gets
tired. 1t is as easy tc, care for as
a typewriter, requiring only a period
ic oiling. Present day motors are OF
such solid and simple construction
that the operator need have no spec
ial knowledge in order to operate
them. 1t is simply necessary to close
the service switch to set them in mo-
ton, and to open it to stop the mo-
tors.
