ARMING BY ELECTRIC
What Niagara P Power Can Do
For Western New York.
APPLIED IN GERMANY.
German Experiments in Plant Cul
ture Suggest Gréat Possibilities—
All Sorts of Machinery Now
Available—Utilized in the Prep-
aration of Fertilizers and Purl
fication of Water.
The scientific farmer of the future
will direct his farming operations from
a central station, where he will con-
trol electricity for the germanization
of his crops, the tillage and fertiliz-
ing of the soil and its irrigation or
drainage.
Germany furnishes examples of tne
uses to which electricity may be put
in farming. Some of the large Ger:
man sugar beet farms now have their
own electric plants, supplying light
and power for a great variety of op-
erations. The farmers of Western
New York will have an immense ad-
vantage over German farmers in that
current will be delivered on their
farms at no cost to them but for cur-
rent used.
In contrast to this convenience the
German farmers using electricity have
had to establish a costly steam gener-
ating system or harness some stream.
The Quednau farm of 447 acres near
Konigsberg is a large producer of
milk and butter. The daily product
of milk is 2,200 gallons.
A 50-horse power engine generating
500 volts furnishes curren for three
motors used about the farm for scores
of purposes that manual labor for-
merly accomplished. One 21% horse-
power motor runs a carrot cutter. Two
small motors are portable and are
drawn to various parts of the farm
and connected with power cables.
Crushing flaxseed, driving pumps,
saws, grain machinery, lathes, drills,
seed cleaners, cream separators, but-
ter workers and churns are a few of
the uses to which the portable motors
are put.
The Simmern farm 6n the Simmern
River, Germany, secures electric pow-
er from a falls in that stream and
turbine driven dynamos. This method
is, of course, much cheaper than that
cmployed on the Quednau farm.
Prof. Guerini, a Belgian scientist,
has given a number of lectures unaer
Government auspices at the Agricul-
tural Institute at Gembloux and his
views are startling to Americans:
“Electricity passing through a plant
from air to earth or vice versa de-
composes carbonic acid gas in the
chlorophyl,, which is essential to plant
growth. Soil chemicals are likewise
aqecomposed by passing currents and
nourishing elements are readily as-
cimilated. Circulation of the sap is
increased by electro capillary enect
by which water and other nourishing
materials are drawn up into the plant,
tree or vine.”
If these things are to be realized
in this country, western New York
with its cheap electric power has a
wonderful future as a farming coun-
try.
In some of the experiments con-
ducted abroad galvanized irom rods
were set about a growing field of grain,
vegetables or berries as distributors
of current.
The galvanized iron conductors were
connected by wires with the source
of current and the supply regulated
by conditions of the atmosphere, the
soil and amount of water in tue
ground. Field experiments in elec-
trifying grain have shown as high as
85 per cent. increase in growth over
grain not so treated.
Other experiments frequently show-
ed 45 to 55 per cent. increase for grain
and 95 per cent. for raspberries. Peas
treely watered increased 75 per cent.
with electric aid, while peas not water-
ed did better without electric current.
This is explained by saying that the
accelerated digestive powers of the
plants “require more food and drink.”
The “aging” of wine is now accom-
plished by the use of electricity. Elec-
trolysis, decomposition by electrical
force, is the method applied. In the
same way water is now purified in
Amiens, Boulogne, Lebourne and
Philadelphia by electricity.
One way that the tremendous pow-
er of Niagara can be utilized for the
enrichment of the land is in the pro-
auction of nitric acid for fertilizing
purposes. Nitric acid salts produce
z2lmost marvelous results in the plant
world.
The secret of the wonderful growing
quality of nitric acid fertilizers lies in
the availability of their elements tor
immediate plant use. It is usually de-
livered to the farm in the form of ni-
trate of potassa and soda or nitrate
of lime. Prof. Guarini states that ni-
tric acid can beproduced with Niagara
power at 95 cents for 220.46 pounds.
Libel in Old Times.
Libel was esteemed a grievous of-
fense in the old English law. In an
old case, where the libelers had
charged the lord keeper of bribery
this punishment was inflicted on two
of the criminals: :
One thousand pounds fine each, and
they were required “to ride to West-
minster from the Fleet, with their
offense, to acknowledge their offense,
faces to the horse’s tail, and at the
chancery bar, and in this court, with
papers on their heads declaring their
and ask forgiveness for it, and then
be set on the pillery with one ear
nailed to it, while the courts sit; and
another day to ride into Cheapside in
such manner as before and there be
set on the pillory with their other
ear nailed, and be carried to risen |
there to remain during life.”

PAIN
Pain in the head—pain anywhere, has its cause.
Pain is congestion, pain is blood pressure—nothing
else usually. At least, so says Dr. Shoop, and to
prove it he has created a little pink tablet. That
tablet—called Dr. Shoop's Headache Tablet—
coaxes blood pressure away from pain centers.
Its effect is charming, pleasingly delightful. Gently,
though safely, it surely equalizes the blood circu-
lation.
If you have a headache, it's blood pressure.
If it's painful periods with women, ‘same cause.
If you are sleepless, restless, nervous, it's blood
congestion—blood pressure. That surely is a
certainty, for Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablets stop
it in 20 minutes, and the tablets simply distribute
the unnatural blood pressure.
Bruise your finger, and doesn't it get red, and
swell, and pain you? Of course it does. It's con-
gestion, blood pressure. You'll find it where pain
js—always. It's simply Common Sense.
