ELECTRICITY Oil FARM
MAKES WORK EASY
Hand Is One Which Never Over
sleeps in Morning; Is
Economical
The American farmer is hiring a
new farmhand —one who never over
sleeps in the morning, who never
borrows the best buggy to take his
girl riding in, who never grumbles
at the food nor eats the boss out of
house and home.
This new farmhand is the electric
motor.
That the farmer is hiring this new
band in large numbers is shown by
the fact that one power company in
California has 7,000 farmers on its
lines, another 4,000; while in Color
ado. Kansas. Washington. Oregon and
t'tah thousands of farmers are pa
trons of the electric companies. In
the Central States—especially in Illi
nois, lowa. Indiana. Wisconsin, and
Minnesota—the farmer has become a
large user of electricity for both
light and power.
What has brought this about in
this way?
First, the steady increase in farm
■wages, estimated at 35 per cent, in the
last twenty years.
Second, the discovery that one-third
To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition All Summer
It would be much better for the skin
if little cream, powder or rouge were
used during the heated term. Mixed
with perspiration, dust and grime,
these things are anything but beautify
ing. Ordinary mercollaed wax will do
more for the complexion, and without
giving an oily, streaked, spotted or
pasty appearance. It is tile ideal ap
plication for the season, as it not onlv
k»eps the pores clean, but dally re
moves particles of scarf skin which
have been soiled by dirt or weather.
By constantly keeping the complexion
clear, white, satiny, it does more
toward perpetuating a youthful counte
nance than any of the arts or artifices
commonly employed. One ounce of
mercolized wax. obtainable at anv drug
store, will completely renovate the ,
worst complexion. It is appli.-d at
night like cold cream and washed off '
in the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging oi 1
wrinkling, or to overcome surti condl- !
tion. there's nothing better than a face !

TUESDAY EVENING,
of our immense grain and hay crops
ts used as food for horses, who must
eat 365 days a year, and who work
only three hours a day on the
average.
I Third, the fact that while within
I the last twenty years farm wages
have increased 35 per cent, and the
cost of living has increased 30 per
(cent., the cost of electricity has de
creased 88 per cent.
Fourth, the discovery that there
are no less than 125 different farm
operations in which electricity can be
used.
To begin with, there is the lighting.
Tlie C«»st or Electric Lights
Electricity furnishes the safest,
cleanest, and most effective and con
venient system of lighting the farm
home, outbuildings, and barnyard.
Many a farmer is using it for such
purpose, two plans being followed:
either he builds the transmission line
himself and presents or leases it to
the power company, paying the same
rate as city users, or he induces the
power company to extend its lines to
| the country and add the cost, in an
| nual instalments, to the price charged
the farmer users. The average cost
I for wiring and installing lamps runs
•about $2 an outlet, which is extreme
| ly low, considering the service.
| But there are many other uses be
sides Illumination to which electricity
I can be put in the farm home. Here
| Is a partial list of the most common:
I II will operate the washing machine,
electric iron, water pump, electric
j fan, sewing machine, meat grinder,
i bread mixer, refrigerating machine,
j buffer and grinder, and so on. The
' complete list would be a long one.
Few of these are prohibitive be
cause of the cost.
The motor for the water pump usu-
I ally ranges in size from *4 to 1 horse
! power, the average being The
power cost ranges from 2 '/& to 10
; cents an hour. A 6-pound electric
i iron uses from 4 to 6 cents' worth of
electricity an hour. For convenience,
I one motor can be used to run the
i washing machine, cream separator,
'pump, churn, meat grinder, Ice cream
| freezer, vegetable, peeler, and bread
j mixer.
I An electrlcai expert has figured out
I the amount of household work that
can be done with one cent's worth of
electricity, at 10 cents per kilowatt
hour. Here is the showii.g:
| It will operate a 6-pound flatiron
fifteen minutes.
It will drive an electric vacuum
I cleaner long enough to clean 450
square feet of carpet.
It will lift 100 gallons of water 100
feet.
It will run a sewing machine two
hours.
It will run a 12-inch electric fanl
two hours.
It will run a buffer and grinder!
one and one-fourth hours.

of a hand to buy things only for the j
To Women Who Overdo
Thousands of American women In
our homes are dally sacrificing their
lives to duty. In order to keep the
home neat and attractive, the chil
dren well dressed and tidy, women
overdo. Soon a weakness or dis
placement is brought on and they suf
fer in silence, drifting along from
bad to worse. FAr forty years Lydia |
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has proved a boon and a blessing to
women in this condition, by restoring
their systems to a normal healthy con
dition. Why don't you try it?— A
dvertisement.
j home; he wants to see uses for them
I elsewhere.
There are twenty uses to which elec
tricity can be put in the dairy, the
most important being to operate
cream separators. churns, water
pumps, milking machines, refrigerat
ing machines, milk clarifiers, Pas
teurizers. and milk-circulating pumps.
The electric motor is especially val
uable for a cream separator, as its use
insures a constant speed and a stand
ard test of cream. Nor is it prohibi
tive in cost. Tests have shown that
the cost to a farmer who separates
300 pounds of milk a day is 2.2 cents
per hundred pounds when done by
electricity, and 4.1 cents per hundred
pounds when done by hand, a saving
of practically 2 cents per hundred
pounds for the electric-driven sepa
rator.
The advantage holds good with
other appliances. The size of motor
used for driving churns ranges from
% to 3 horsepower.
The complete cost averages about
one cent for every 10 pounds of but
ter churned and worked.
The situation in regard to the milk
ing machine is most interesting. Tests
made on an 8-machine milking equip
ment, driven by a 3-horsepower mo
tor, indicate that the power cost is
about 2 mills to the cow, with elec
tricity at 10 cents a kilowatt hour.
The complete equipment cost S9OO,
and with it from 90 to 100 cows are
milked twice a day.
The dairyman who made the tests
asserts that the saving in labor cost
in eleven months paid for the equip
ment. Eleven men were formerly re
quired, but with the aid of the milker
the work is now done by five.
The advantage of the' electrically
driven milking machine is that one
man can tend to two machines, which
will milk about 22 cows an hour. The
average farmhand will milk about six
cows an hour. The labor and power
for the 2-machine equipment is .97
cents per cow, for the 6-machine, .87
cents, compared with 2.5 cents per
cow for hand milking.
There are over thirty applications
of electric drive in the barn and field,
among the most important being
water pumps, feed grinders, corn
shellers, ensilage cutters, grain eleva
tors. concrete mixers, grain threshers,
grain graders, bone grinders, hay
hoists, hay balers, and clover hullers.
Feed grinders require motors rang
ing from 3 to 10 horsepower, the
larger ones from 10 to 30 horsepower.
A farmer who has 600 bushels of corn
to grind in a year, and who lives 3 V 4
miles from town, will find his electric
grinding costing him 9\ cents a
bushel. The cost at the mill in town
is 8 cents, an advantage in favor of
the town mill of 1 % cents a bushel.
However, this is assuming that the
motor is used exclusively for this one
operation. But if only one-half of
the motor's time were chargeable to
this operation, the charge for power
would be cut in two and the total cost
for the home grinding would be 7.09
cents, a difference of .91 cents a
bushel in favor of the electric-driven
home grinder.
Personal Danger Is Lessened
In driving ensilage cutters, husk
ers, shredders, threshing machines,
and clover hullers by means of elec
tric motors, there Is obtained the ad
ditional advantage of a uniform op
erating speed. Another important
consideration is that the element of
personal danger is eliminated. With
the switch within ready grasp of the
operator ( the power can he shut off
instantly at the first sign of danger.
A gasoline-electric harvester which
is being used extensively in California
is of Interest. It consists of an 80-
horsepower, 6-cyllnder gas traction
engine which, In addition to supply-

through belting-. A 25-horsepower
motor drives the entire harvester. The
crew required for the operation of the
I outfit consists of ah engineer, two
1 sack sewers, one tender, and one
| header man. Marked savings in op
i eration have been obtained, and with
I all allowances for upkeep and depre-
I ciation this outfit has reduced the
j cost of harvesting approximately 60
j cents an acre, effecting a saving of
lat least $2 an acre.— By M. G. Erank
