That Hollywood farm will be paying
good profit to +. s. Stimson within
one year from date, there isn't a
particle of doubt in the minds of
those who have visited his place,
viewed the plans, seen the quality of
the foundation stock with which he
is beginning.
He has nothing but the finest bred
Holsteins and Durocs that ever came
West. They combine both individual
and producing qualities. He is
thorough believer in the best and will
show iE a short time to all enquirers
that it pays, they being cheaper in
the long run.
Mr.. Stimson does as much work as
any man on the place. Though he
has not yet learned to milk, the
morning milking hour. 3 A. M, fire.
quently finds him up to inspect the
work and to see that his own plans at
the beginning are carefully carried
out.
EToo high praise can not be given TO
the cattle and swine with which Holly
wood is being stocked up. The best
is none too good. In building up a
foundation herd second to none In

The electrical installation consists
of one so X. w. 3-wire Westinghouse
11O-22O V generator driven by 70 ii.
P. Atlas steam engine.
The switch board consists OF a
generators and feeder panel. The
generator and switch board are shown
in the above illustration.
The current for motor is 22O volts
and lighting at ITO volts. The motors
are operated from power circuit and
there is one 20 II. 2. Utility motor
mounted on skids to be used at
different parts of the farm for cutting
feed, saving wood, etc., and is
operated from plug in boxes at the
barn, ranch house, garage and store.
There are two motors for operating
the laundry; one for clipping machine
and one in the store for grinding
coffee. There are three lighting
circuits; one for the barn, one for
the ranch house, the store, etc., and
one for the residence, garage and for
lighting the driveway.
The driveway is lighted by or
namental iron poles on concrete base
with one outer globe and 100 Watt

lamps. These lights can be turned
on or off both from the switch board
and residence.
All conductors are rubber covered
lead encased cable pulled into gal
vanized iron pipe with manholes each
400 feet for pulling in and splicing
cable.
The residence and ranch house are
lighted by % Watt Tungsten lamsp;
barn, 40 and 60 Watt Tungsten lamps;
store, $50 Watt units with reflector.
The driveway has 100 Watt units.
The fuel used is crude oil. The ex-
haust from the engine is used to
heat the green houses.
The electrical equipment was in
stalled by the Reynolds Electric Co.,
of Seattle, who make speciality of
electric plants for dairies, ranches
and country homes. This is one of a
large number of plants installed the
past year. They have a booklet de-

poultry show, and long may Charley
Burnett be spared to rustic together
others of the same sort.
While on the subject of poultry
shows we are sorry to be obliged to
omit from this Issue an account of
Spokane's big show. No representa-
tive of this paper was at the show,
and we have as yet received no
autt entic report on it. Another fine
show that we we're unable to cover was
given at Bellingham. The great i'm
provement noted over the shows of
last year should be matter of con-
graduation to the poultry associations
concerned. The general public ap-
pears to be taking more interest III
poultry raising than ever before;
while the poultry raisers are giving
the shows better support than former
ly, and working harder to bring their
fowls up to standard requirements.
Ali this tends to general improve
ment of conditions in the poultry in
dustry and to make the business more
profitable for all engaged in it,

The Seattle King County Poultry
Association, under the very capable
management of President Haven and
Secretary Burnett gave the best show
in it's history. 1t was put on in the
basement OF the Bon Marche building
and broke all Pacific Coast records
for attendance and number of entries.
Superintendent Turner staged the
show beautifully and gave the fowls
splendid care; the judging was good;
the entries of fine quality; and big
crowd of visitors was on hand at all
times and seemed nightly pleased
with all they saw. Nearly 1000 birds
were cooped- which is some show
and they were mostly good ones at
that. Leghorns, particularly the
Whites, were very strong class; the
awards being split quite evenly be-
