EEEEENE 0E FARMS BY ELECTRICITY PLANTS FOR PURPOSE ARE ECONOMICAL BUG", nu. a...__-._d “Overseer A. Bradshaw, of LindSay reports .that the angling season was The large city electric lighting plants cannot supply curmt to the farm houses because of the great ex- oense for poles and miles of wire, but the small individual farm light- ing plants are economical as well as reliable. The first farm electric plants were not entirely successful. they required an electrician to install them and connect up the batteries, switchboard and dynamo. They also lacked automatic features, so that the farmer had to give much of his at- tention to the operation. Reliable concerns, however, realizing the large field for business, studied the iarm lighting problem, and there are now lighting plants that are designed to eliminate the necessity for attention. In fact, the manuiacturer no longer has to send out several feet. of di- rections and instructions, but all this is contained in a small leaflet. Farm lighting plants are cheaper today because they are now made in quantities, and also because there is more competition. Standard sizes are known as 24-volt, zo-volt, or 35-v01t plants, and rated The New Screw Driver, with Spiral Ratchet Movement 3 Bits The carpenter, who uses Only $2.25 each given the irogs in >erio‘d of two years. to become numer- 12 light. 15 This drill has two speeds, is double ratchet and is ball bearing.

In the city where current is supplied by a large lighting company, the voltage is us- ually 110 volts but where storage batteries are used in connection with a lighting dynamo, as in the farm outfit, a lower voltage, as 24, 30, 35, is proper, as fewer batteries are ne- cessary than if it were attempted to design the farm plant for the city residence voltage. The light produced is just the same, however, as the lamps used on the farm are designed to be operated at the lower voltage. The filament, which is the part of the electric lamp that gives 05 the light, is usually pade nowadays oi itungsten, and this is stronger when i used on the farm circuit because of the fact that voltage is lower than the city voltage. A farm electric lamp has a life between 600 and 800 hours-over a year. “Ducks are increasing year by year; they were more numerous this season than they were last year, and this is pleasing to all true sportsmen. “Muskrats were plentiful in spring last, and good catches were made by local trappers; prices were higher than usual for their skins, so that “Mink were caught during the fall and winter months, but many were caught in spring, when trappers were catching rats. “The law during the close season was well kept in that section. Only one case Eon which he could take action came to his knowledgeâ€"a case of an Indian spearing rat houses; The Magistrate imposed a. fine, and the case is not fully settled, owing to the defendant having left the County of Victoria. trappers were we; the season’s catch. A 2 lamp ligt'mng plant or unit, means that a total of twelve lamps can be turned on at one time, which allows the use of any number of lamps as long as no more than twelve are turned on at the same\ were well satisfied with Yankee Tools, will vouch for their quality and reliability.

In case fourteen lamps arel turned on, those lighting plants that ! have automatic arrangements, will simply cut of! the current, indicating to the farmer that he has more than twelve lights on. When he turns of! two all others can again be lighted. If we take a typical example, the 4 simplepess of installation» and oper- 1 ation will be apparent. 7 0n the first floor of the farm house we have, say, ten lamps. on the sec- ond floor there are four, and outside and in the barn there are seven. The lamps used are 20 watt, 16 candle« power made for use on 24 volt cir- icuits. The farm houses could be ‘wired for $35‘to $40, exclusive of fixtures, the wiring being in accord- ance with what is called the “knob and eube” system, with the wires be- tween the walls and between the floors and ceiling. For the barn the wires could be run on the surface of the walls and ceiling, and this can be done more quickly and therefore at a small cost. ' For the farm cited a 12 lamp ugnt- ing unit would be satisfactory, and one of the new types, which has the batteries, dynamos and switchboard all permanently mounted on skids. can be bought in this capacity for $350. This unit can be carried to where your engine is located, so that for about. two hours a day (during the winter months) the dynamo can be belted to the engine for charging the batteries. Of course, if there is ino engine of one to one and one-half lhorse power or over on the farm, it [will be necessary to buy one, but on many farms there is an engine that can be used. Since the parts of the lighting unit are mounted on skids .at the factory, all connections are ' also made so that an electrician need not be sent to set up the apparatus, but the farmer himself can connect the two main wires from his house to two terminals at the top of the switchboard. The batteries reach the :farm charged, so that the lights can he turned on as soon as the two con- nections mentioned have been made. There may be occasious when it is desired to have more than twelve lamps turned on, as in the case of a party. To do this, the dynamo is kept running, so that current is be- ing supplied by the batteries and the dynamo, instead of by the batteries alone. as usual.

And, building up from that, you may ar- rive, arithmetically, at the conclus- ion that electricity cannot compete on equal terms with coal for heating purposes, until you can get four kilo- watt hours at the price of one pound of coal. But, in starting this con- clusion. we should be putting oursel- ves back in the place of the people iat the exhibition of 1876, who comâ€" plained oi the ‘waste of energy,’ of the water pumped by the motor, which was driven by the dynamo. “But there are other considera-l tions. First, the thermal value of coal is high. Coal is still compara- tively cheap, and we ’waste it in a thousand ways. The house gets cold, and we shake up the furnace, open the dampers and come away, leaving six shovels or so on, and then, in an hour or two, when the house has got unbearably hot', we find that all the coal has been burnt away. Of the actual heat produced by that coal, labout four-fifths has gone up the chimney. Moreover, we use thin glass in windows with loose frames. Much more air comes in than is necessary ifor Ventilation, and thus further heat iis lost. After all, why should a house lbe kept hot all night long, when peo- Iple sleep with open windows? Would' }it not be possible to let the house cool, keeping it merely above freeZ- ing? r' Secondly, cheapness is not all that one requiresâ€"in some cases it is really the highest price you can pay. For example, coal-oil lamps for lighting purposes are undoubtedly cheaper than either gas or electric light. But very few people who can get electric light will use coal-oil lamps. In the same way the furnace is a dirty thing. The house is made dirty when the coal comes into it, there is a dirt in stoking, and more or less dirt generally in regard to every operation in connection with it. The average man acutely realizes the expense of furnishing replied Mr. Ainsworth. “But there the climate only requires a partial heat in hous- es, and the people don't like their houses to be very hot. Some large country houses in the United States are already heated throughout by el- ectricity. The Biltmore estate, which i I believe) is in the middle East of the United States, is one of‘them. I should point out that in New York and Chicago electricity is produced by coal, so that an increase in pro- duction always necessitates an in- crease in the cost of production, that is to say, more coal is re- iquired. But with us there is no ad- ditional expense on account of the electricity being produced by water- power. Although, up to the present, I know of no people in Toronto who use electricity as a means of heating their houses throughout, there are many who use electric heaters in var- ious rooms, and are thoroughly well satisfied with them. And the use of electric appliances for cooking grows more in popular favor every day. Their main advantagesâ€"and the pub- lic are not slow to realize themâ€"are cleanliness in the matter of furniture and carpets, but the only dimly guesses at the amount of damage done dav by day to both by the chief dirt producer in the house. ‘Electric heating eliminates the dirt lnuisance altogether. “Thirdly, you must remember that the Widespread use of electricity must reduce the cost“. We have to cover the streets anyway, and the larger the number of people who use, electricity, and the more current each uses, the cheaper rate for the current will be to each. If the capâ€" ital investment for each consumer is two hundred and fifty dollars, with twenty thousand consumers, then, if the number of consumers is raised to a hundred thousand, the capital ex-i pense per consumer might be reduced: to about seventy-five dollars. In oth- er words, the more eleCtricity that } is utilized, either for lighting or for} heating purposes, the cheaper it will; be both for heating and for lighting. “Are any houses elsewhere heated, solely by electricity?” asked The, Leta: Weekly.” “In quite a few cases in England." economy, automatic arrangement and general use of control." And it is easy to believe that the public are appredaating them. The “Star Weekly examined an almost be- w-fldering array of chafing-dishes, toasters, grillers, flat-irons. egg- boilers, coffee percolators, kettles, shaving-mugs, hair-dryers. etc., and witnessed demonstrations with sever- al of them. And one can only say that the ingenuity of these timeâ€" savingâ€" electrical appliances is as magical as their fascination is un- deniable. ' A reliableT tench regulator: never fails. .
