Saving money with Ell ectricity

With the increased interest in farm
ing and farm living from the efficiency
standpoint, there is great tendency On
the part of the farmer to ask whether
a proposed improvement will pay.
Unquestionably most of the modern
improvements offered to the farm
home do pay in increased comfort OF
living and hence in increased ability to
produce profit bearing crops. And the
keen farmer OF today realizes this. But
it is also interesting to note that some
of the modern improvements do pay
directly through the dollars and cents
savings they effect.
Take for instance the matter Of tn
electric vacuum sweeper. A certaine
hotel keeper in middle western state
found that the carpet, in the hottie re-
ception room, was cleaned by hand
sweeping and an occasional beating,
had to be removed every three years.
He installed vacuum sWeepers and fouud
that his next carpet lasted for seven
years instead of three. The reason
was that hand sweeping removed mere
ly the surface dirt and that the dust
and fine grit leftin the web of the car
pet and beneath it, and ground into il
by people walking on it, had been slow
ly cutting the carpet to pieces. When
vacuum sweeping was installed, the
shaking effect of the sweeper brushes
and the suction of the fan drew all Of
this dirt and grit out, and left the car.
pet to stand merely the much easie I
wear of walking. The hotel keeper
found that this saving through making
his carpets last twice as long more than
paid for the vacuum cleaning system.
And the same thing will appeal to
the farmers wife. She knows that a
large amount of. sand and dirt is brought
into her house daily and that any sys.
TEN which will help her to keep her
carpets free of it will be well worth
while. Fortunately, the electric sweep
er is at her service today through the
development of the small electric light
and power plants for farms. She's en-
loving to the full the comfort and con
venience of electric light, and in elec
tric power she's finding a servant t.
do the washing, ironing, separating,
churning and pumping as well as tn,
sweeping.
