Electricity For the Farmer.

What is . farmers time worth
What is he worth an hour? Does he
charge his business-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 executive
work and productive labor and how
much to nonproductive 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
business basis.
The average gross income from a
farm of one hundred and fifty acres will
be something over So, 600. and to pro-
duce that income between 1000 and
8, 900 hours. of productive labor are
required. This makes the average pro-
ductive labor hour worth about 40 cents.
To make every one of these 40 cent
hours productive of its share of profit,
it is necessary to reduce productive
labor to the minimum, and in farming
as in manufacturing it has been found
that the best way to do this is to USE
labor-saving machinery. The small
electric light and power plants now in
use on so many farms accomplish lot
of this labor saving. Instead of spend.
ing hours pumping and carrying water
for stock and for all household purposes
Il modern farm family has an electric
pumping system installed, which keeps
water at a pressure of fifty pounds
wherever it is needed in the house or
barns. Grindstones, tanning mills and
many other light power appliances in
the barn which used to require the time
of two men are now turned by cleo.
tricity. In the house the pumping,
churning, separating, sweeping, wash
ing and ironing are all done by cleo.
tricity, relieving the farmers wife of
great part of the burdens which have
made her life q hard one. And of
course electric light itself makes the
farm home q bright and cheerful place
to live.
Where electricity serves the farm
family We find the best of living con-
ditions, and we find too that every
member Of thlk family makes each
hour of labor pay profit.
