which may be moved about the farm
and bslted TO the thresher, ensilsge
cutter, grain elevator. or other ma
chinery without any radical change
in the existing machinery. Even hand
operated machines may be driven by
small motors by simply substituting
a pulley.
The characteristics OF the electric
motor render II especially valuable
for operation OF the dairy equipment.
The requirements for modern santa
tion have brought the vacuum process
OF milking into common use. and
electric motors are particularly
adapted TO drive the vacuum pump.
The motor Is more compact than the
gas engine, and may be installed In
the COW barn, as there Is an entire
absence OF fre risk with this equip
ment.
Electric Milking Now.
Electric milking is but one OF
twenty or more uses to which cleo
tricity can be put about the dairy
Motors are well adapted to operating
cream separators and pasteuriEers
churns, electric refrigerators, can and
bottle washers and other devices
They take but little power, and In
most instances can be operated from
an fncande escent lighting circuit.
Outside the dairy there are more
than thirty applications OF electric
drive for harm and neld machinery
the more important being the electric
yhaI
cutter, grain elevator. concrete mixer
grain thresher, grain grader, bone
grinder. hay hoist. hay baler and
clover huller.
The operation OF the ensilage cut
ter is another important item on the
farm. A farmer who has electric serv-
ice can cut his ensilage at any con-
venient time, which Is not always the
case when a custom machine Is used
Motor driven ensilage cutters can
safely be set near combustible mate
rial and operated under these condi
tions without fire risk. The SWITCH
can be so arranged that the motor
| can be instantly started or stoppeo
by the man who Is feeding the ma
chine, for no engineer or expert at
tendant is required. The portaol'
motor, which can be used for other
purposes, can be used on this machine
The threshing machine also can be
operated at a saving by use OF the
motor. During the summer of 19l:
careful tests were made by the Gen
eral Electric Company to determine
the power cost OF threshing a bushe
Of grain. 1t was found that witt
power at 5 cents per kilowatt-hour II
cost 3Ia mills per bushel for oats,
mills for barley and s mills for wheat

for electricity on the farm. Where

for long periods OF time without q

There are thousands of farm,
| throughout this country that are to-
day equipped with electric appliances
to tighten the work OF the farmhouse

these farmers will testify that the in
stallation of their electrical equip
ment has resulted In a great reduction
in their cost of operation over old

"a Wonder Woman"

[ wish to|add my thanks for every
kindness shown my beloved cousin,
Catherine Crandall Train. It was not
through lack Of loyalty or affection
that my body was not present with my
spirit during those last sad hours;
and it was her bravery and unselfish-
ness that kept us from. knowing that
she was in trouble.
Since I was thirteen my cousin has
been a big factor in my life. Then,
and always she has been to me a
wonder woman. To my young, old
Fashioned eyes she had rare accom-
plishments-she sang in the church
choir, at public gatherings, she sat at
her little n1elodian and sang a few
quaint songs. A true lover of horses
She rode well, and seemed unafraid
of the most vicious tempered horses.
1T was through this intrepidity she
nearly lost her life. A conversation
alist herself, she drew out the hopes,
desires and ambitions of different
Boys and girls-and gave of her
sympathy. If every boy and girl she
has helped could speak, she would
have a wonderful ovation. Her read
ing, her thoughts. and her life were in
perfect accord with her high ideals.
She scorned slang ever; there was
no room for trash in her mind. Her
love and loyalty for her many, many
friends was beautiful-and she had a
rare gift Of keeping the old friends,
while ever adding new ones. Her
letters, always CHEEKY, brave and COM
fOrting in our sorrows, were almost
like a living presence.
She was the last Of a large circle
of my mothers cousins. In losing her,
I have lost much, but she has also
given me much that I shall never lose.
That | shall not find her there when
Z return to BaraboO-tO pick up the
threads of life together again-is my
sorrow, not hers.

He had paid little attention to the

punched out and the corners of $40
bills had been glued over the open

it appear a genuine SO note to a
bank teller who hurriedly received

the fact that in 1913 approximately
1O0,0OOOO0 pounds of butter were
produced in this state.
We cannot, of course, expect that
the extraordinary war demand will
continue Indefinitely, for it was due
to the inability of Sweden and Den
mark to provide feed for their cattle
that the butter supply Of those coun-
tries was diminished; and 1t was the
ravaging of the herds Of Belgium,
France and Italy that reduced pro-
duction in those countries to a mini
mum. Sweden and Denmark have
therefore been unable to supply Eng
land as they did prior to the war with
her butter requirements, and in fact
have been forced to import butter
for home consumption. England's bust
ness has come largely to US. If we are
able to maintain a high standard OF

Held Whiskers Sacred.

If the beard has any standing in the

of the Jews, who held their whiskers

whiskers after prayers, catch the
hairs that came out, break them in
two and bury them, On the theory
that in some mysterious way the hairs
