Show RUNNING FARM WITHOUT WORK. Not Quite That, But a Creek Does Many Things by Electricity. A progressive farmer in New York state heralds the era of kid glove farming, according to the Technical World Magazine. He has made lazi ness a success, and run now do his farm work without a ba kache. There is a little cr'ek running through his .rrn. This he has harnessed har-nessed and forced to run a dynamo, which in turn gives light and heat for the house and outbuildings. But Mr. M'ner was not satisfied with his accomplishment. The hardest task about the farm, the one which everyone every-one most dreaded, was turning the milk separator at a speed of 7,400 revolutions per minute. This had been done by hand. So Mr. Miner installed a motor which turned the milk separator every morning and evenins satisfactorily without any hard la or on the part of the progicssive farmer. The next job to be h.tched up to the new horse was turning the big barrel churn. Then came the grindstone grind-stone which is the farm hand's bugbear bug-bear during the harvest season. The miiistream was next made to pump the water for household use up to the roof, where there was a large reservoir res-ervoir for storing it. But wood had to be used for the cookstoye, and the sled-length logs had to be cut down, so a circular saw was added to the outfit and a new use was thus found for the electric current. |
