Electricity Best of Farm Servants
A traveler notes farms increasingly use electric service, transforming rural life. Electric lights and yard lamps, powered from center yard poles or barn covers, brighten farm properties within the last few years. The switch from lanterns saves time, improves safety, and enhances efficiency in house and barn chores. Electric power also enables automatic water systems supplying water at faucets throughout the home and farm.

Farm Electrification Promises Easy Labor and Low Costs
Electric motors will handle milking, separating, churning, washing and sweeping on the farm. They power the corn shelter, fanning mill and grindstone while household tasks are eased by electric fans, irons and toasters. Low running costs, minimal maintenance, air-cooled engines, kerosene or fuel, direct generator engine connection, automatic lubrication and self startup are highlighted.
Up to Date Lighting Plants Bring Rural Electrification
The article notes up to date lighting plants are easy to care for and operate. Each engine and generator includes a storage battery providing light and power day or night. Properly designed plants guarantee satisfactory service, prompting neighbors to follow with more installations as farmers show growing interest in farm electricity.
