Cattle for Three States

Preparations for the annual Vermont
state fair are under way, with frequent
meetings of the executive committee.
The dates selected are September A. Is,
16 and II. The state fair has won the
reputation of being the most extensive
cattle show east of the Ohio. Blooded
stock has been exhibited from all the
Eastern states and Canada in great numb
ers and as a result it is said by those who
know. Vermont cattle have improved ex-
tensively the past few years. Owing to
the embargo placed on the shipping of
cattle early this year from one state to
another, made necessary by the foot and
mouth disease, the state fair commission
has found it necessary to confine its cat
tie exhibits to the stock of the Vermont,
New Hampshire, and Maine cattle raisers.
While this reduces the area from whence
exhibition cattle have come in past years,
it is believed and hoped that Vermont
cattle raisers will make the largest exhi-
bition they have ever made and that all
pens will be filled. The premiums have
not been reduced and the opportunity for
keeping these awards within the state is
at hand.
The 1915 state fair premium book will
come from the press in few days. A
copy can be had by writing Secretary
Fred l.. Davis, White River Junction.

Electricity on the Farm

A farmer in North Dakota gives his
experience 10 running 25-horse power
electric motor, mounted on pair of
small trucks and three transformers Oh II
wagon, both connected by wire wound
hose containing undiscovered conduc-
tors of 1890 volt capacity. The cost was
found to be much less than that of the
gas or steam engine. No engineer or
fireman is required, and no hauling of
fuel or water. Both first cost and up
keep are less. Electricity on this farm
pumps water, lifts hay, churns. operates
the cream separator and washing ma
chine, elevates grain, runs the tanning
mill and grinds feed. In one season the
| current also threshed $3.50 bushels of
grain. The owner remarks that in tie
four years experience he has had no
trouble with the plant, which he describes
as 'always on the job, whether the tenn
perature is 80 below or 100 in the shade"
When the electric current is supplied
along country road, the rural resident
can use it for power and light and pros
pectively for heat. The power furnished
is available for light manufacturing, and
many of those who remove from city to
country are skilled in some mechanical
business. A wire stretched from the
roadside to the house. affords simply and
economically, the power requisite and
the cost, where the current is generated
by water power, ought to be exceedingly
small.
Vermont is traversed by good many
rivers, with countless smaller streams as
feeders. In fact, nearly all the States
are well supplied with running water.
The application of electricity on farms is
