ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town in That Country Of over
5000 Population Has
Public Service.

According TO recent information
about the progress of electric light
and power industries In Denmark, 1t
appears that all the towns of 5000
inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service. says
the Scientific American. As to towns
having between 5000 and 5000 inhab-
itants, there are only three In which
electric mains are not installed. SO

In this respect. The largest sized elec.
tr1c stations are to be found at Co

three large plants In operation giving
total of $4,000 horse power. Cur
rent Is supplied for the city mains,
as well as for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations in small
towns, in general each town has It's
own plant, and there is but one ex.
ample of an intercommunal sys.em.
This is at skovshoved, near Copenha-
gen, and the central station extends
Its power lines over all the suburban
regions. also supplying the t1-siways

improvement is growing leguminous

The easiest way to eradicate weeds
on the farm is to prevent their going

Silage made of corn and soy beans
is more digestible than that made
from corn silage alone.
One OF the qualities of the soy bean
that commends 1t to the stock feeder
Is its protein richness.

Oats and barley stubble land in

land should be plowed with three
horses We use the sulky plow. set

grain farmers pillow Immediately after
the barley or oats is harvested and
then harrow and roll When oats or
barley precede crop of winter wheat
the land is much dryer than proper
~ managed summer fallow. and If the
season should be dry and hot 1t is
difncult to get such land mellow and
moist enough for termination of
grain. If barnyard manure is to be
spread over the field 1t will pay to hire
a spreader for the manure can be
spread so much better, as the spreader
cuts the manure fine and spreads an
even and regular coat over the en-
tire ground. Two active men with a
two-horse spreader will haul and
spread large pile OF manure In
day The regular price for the use
OF a spreader is SO cents per day. II
spreader cannot be had, haul and
spread direct from wagon or cart. The
manure spread one day should be

there Is no loss of plant food from
