ELEcTRIcITYR FOR THE FARMER

small electric light and power
plants now in use on many farms
accomplish a lot of this labor saw
ing. Instead Of spending hours
pumping and carry water for the
stock and household o1epsrspuos
modern farm family has an cleo
trio pumping system installed
which keeps water at a pressure
of so pounds wherever it is need
ed in the houes or barns. Grind
stones, tanning mills and many
other light power appliances in
the barn which used to require
the time OF two men are now
turned by electricity. In the
house the pumping; churning, sep
arating, sweeping, washing and
ironing are all done by electricity
relieving the farmers wife of a
great part OF the burdens which
have made her life a hard one.
And OF course electric light itself
makes the farm home a bright
and cheerful place to live.
Where electricity serves the
farm family we find the best OF
living conditions, and we find too
that every member of that family
makes each hour of labor pay a
profit.

What is the farmers time
worth? What is he worth ali
hour? Does he charge his bus
iness-the business Of farming
with the value of the time he
gives>to it? And does he know
how much time he is giving to ex-
ecutive work and productive labor
and how much to non-productive
labor? The farmer who is not
giving these things little thought
is not in the front rank Of those
who are making of farming what
it really should be,-a business on
a business basis.
5 The average gross income from
a farm OF one hundred and fifty
acres will be something over S.
600, and to rpoduce that income
1000 or 5000 hours of productive
labor are required. This makes
the average productive labor cost
about 40 cents an hour.
To make everyone of these 40
cent hours productive of its share
OF profits, it is necessary to reduce
nOn-productive labor to d mini
mum, and in farming as in manu-
featuring it has been found that
the best way to do this is to use
