CULTIVATION BY ELECTRICITY.
A Form of Energy Which Can Sup.

By FRANK KOESTER,
Author of Electricity For the Farm and
Home"
The use of electricity on our farms
is sure to be greatly increased with the
progress of that intensive cultivation
which Is becoming national need.
As class the farmer is u large user
of power, but the sources from which
he draws it are at present inefficient
and uneconomical compared with in
dustrial standards in other lines. Of
the SO, 100000 persons engaged in gain
full occupations in the United States
not less than 100000 devote theiI
energies to agriculture. About 30 per
cent of the horses and mules In this
country are also at work on the farms
The substitution of electric power for
even small proportion Of the work Of
farm animals means great develop
ment for electrical machinery.
Outside of being large consumer of
electricity for lighting and for the OPP
Grafton of small motors and heating
appliances in the house, the farmer
uses wide variety of mechanical ap-
planes. Most of these call for motor

DON'TS FOR PRUNING.


Don't wear hobnailed boots when
pruning. In climbing about the trees
they readily injure the bark.
Don't leave your pruning to the hired
man. The more you understand your
trees the better you will prune them.
Don't use dull tools. They make
the work harder and produce rough
wounds.
Don't start all main limbs at the
same height. Weak crotches are the
result
Don't leave stubs in cutting off limbs.
They rot back and cause decay in the
trunk.
Don't let suckers grow. They are
worthless and draw upon the trees
food supply.
Don't leave the larger wounds bare
Apply good white lead paint or cover
with grating wax.
Don't slit the bark. bore holes or
drive nails into the tree They only
offer places of entry for fungous dis
eases.
Don't use a Ratchet for removing
suckers. The Ratchet is not a tool for
scientific pruning.
Don't handle the tree roughly. 1t Is
a delicate structure and will amply re-
pay careful decentralization Sta.

THE DUST MULCH.
Should Be Renewed as Soon as POSI-
BILE After Each Rain.

TT. E. Kett South Carolina stationl
The common field crops require from
800 to 500 pounds Of water for each
pound of dry matter grown, hence the
necessity for reducing the loss OF wa
ter through surface evaporation. This
can be most economically accomplish
ed by the maintenance OF dust mulch.
A perfectly dry dust mulch does not
have to be very deep to be effective.
In practice it is found that the break
ing of the first two or three inches OF
surface soil forms an effective mulch,
but sand muches may be thinner than
CLAY mulches. The mulch should be no
| deeper than is necessary for the re-
duction Of evaporation to a minimum,
for the top soil is generally richer than
the lower soil. and the thinner a mulch
can be made and maintained effective
! ly the greater the root range Of the
plants.
The principle involved in the func-
tioning Of dust mulch is that the
capillary water is drawn from soil par
ticle to soil particle by surface tension

and is evaporated. The blowing of the
surface to the depth already indicated
by means of scrape or sweep dis
turbs the arrangement Of the soil par
tices and the disarranged particles
blanket" the surface and prevent the
loss of moisture to any considerable ex-
tent
1t is necessary to renew the mulch
as soon as possible after each rain be-
cause dampening rearranges the par
ticles in such way that capillarity
will be re-established.

units of small capacity, and it is here
that the electric motor has an advan-

paratus. The portability of this ap-
paratus is also in its favor, and its fiex-

PRODUCTION of electrical utilities of ev-
cry description will be rapid as soon as
the energy supply is reliably establish
ed One of the biggest opportunities
for the introduction of current consum-
ing devices of every description I'M
doubtedly lies in the rural communities
and will follow Immediately after the
building of transmission lines and dis
tributing circuits supplying such COM
munities.
The introduction of electrical ma
chinery on the American farm has been
retarded by several causes, among
them being the lack of information
available and the consequent failure Of
the farmer to realize the benefits to be
derived; the neglect by manufacturing
companies to push the introduction of
electrical farm machinery, due to the
more pressing demand of manufacture
ing concerns and industrial purchasers,
and the fact that farmers have been
prejudiced against electrical machinery
The more progressive farmers, how
ever, long ago realized the great bene-
| fits to be derived from electrical ma
| chinery on the farm and today there
| Is general recognition ON their part
that electricity Is one of the most prof
table, practical and useful agencies at
! their command.
There Is no form of energy which
can supplant manual and animal labor
on the farm or country estate as con-
veniently and cheaply as electricity,
| and it is far superior to steam or any
internal combustion engine. In fact,
there Is no other agent which can sup
ply all three necessities-light, heat
and power-from the same source.
Due to this fact, working hours on the
farm and rural industries can be reg.
ulated as are those in manufacturing
and commercial industries, and life In
| rural communities can be made as at.
tractive, II not more So as that OF
the cities, where the struggle for ex.
istence Is inceSsant and the living nc.
commodations. or what corresponds t.
home life, fall far short of the pleasant
and healthful surroundings of the
country residence.
The giant industries of the country
are of recent origin and started In a
aumble way, but they now surpass
any branch Of agrarian pursuits. This
is condition readily accounted fol-
since the services of the trained engi
neer were used to advantage In build
ing up the great manufacturing indus
tries, while farming. though the old
est Of industries, has been neglected
even to the point Of being abandoned
in many places.
> Up to the present time, especially In
America, the aid of the technical MAI
is seldom sought In solving the prob
lens which arise in rural industries.
In Europe, particularly in German
speaking countries, due to the harmo
NOUS cooperation of farmer and en-
gineer. great progress has been made
In the use of electricity as n servant

KEEPING CREAM COOL.

In warm weather every pos
sible means must be taken TO
get cream on the market IN
good condition. The warm days
that have already passed have
had a marked effect in lowering
the quality of cream now being Z
made into butter. Attention
must first be paid to cooling the
cream Just as soon as separated.
However. the greatest exposure
to heat usually comes when the
cream is hauled to market ana
the cans are left uncovered ana
exposed to the hot sun and dust.
1t has been found by expert
meut that the temperature may
be kept more than 20 degrees
lower when dampened blankets
are thrown over the can OF
; dampened blankets are USED
than when the cans are left I'M
covered. In addition. the dirt
and dust are kept away from
the cans and cream.
1t is not only to the advan-
taee of the producer to help In
keeping up the quality of the
cream so that good prices may
continue. but low grade cream
cannot be allowed to come upon
the market in the future.-Colo-
