Where Study of Electricity
on the Farms Is Going On.
FINAL RESULTS COVING LATER !
Much activity and study Is In progress
in all the twelve states in which
the investigation of electricity on the
farm Is now going forward, under the
general direction of the Committee on
the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture.
Not all of these twelve states
have as yet built experimental lines,
but all of them have begun to organize
state committees, comprising, la alThe

It will be a considerable time before
It is definitely known from these investigations
just how electricity can
be applied to the farm so that both
farmer and power company will find
it a profitable proposition. In the two
or three states where the study is
most advanced, however, some incidental
results are already cropping
out, as indicated by what is given
below.

"I do my washing and ironing all in
one day. where it used to take a day
and a half, and half a day of my
father's time," remarked a young woman
on one of the electrified farms of
Red Wing. Minn., to Prof. E. A. Stewart.
of the University of Minnesota.
Prof. Stewart, secretary of the state j
co-operative committee on the farm i
electxification project. Is making reg- |
ular visits to observe bow the electrified
farms are getting along in this :
section where the "barnyard labors- ;
tory" idea is in operation.
There is one farmer in that region j
who remarked when the electrical ,
idea was first mentioned to him that j
he didn't know whether he wanted to
fix up the house much. He wanted j
to get away to town. But he is stay :
inw now, for electricity provides hot
water for his bath, on tap at the rub.
as well as water at the barn for his i
stock, cooks bis meals and lights his
whole farm at night.

New H
By William A. Radford,
Editor, American Builder Magazine
ON many of the old fashioned
homes we see today, there are
towers and balconies; bay windows
and cupolas, all of which do
not conform to the present-day idea
of home architecture. These homes
are well-built, of the best of materials,
which at the time of building
did not cost nearly as much as they
would cost today. However, many
owners of these homes would like
to have them conform to modern
ideas of attractive exteriors. By altering
the homes at a comparatively
small cost and by decorating them,
both outside and in. they will have
homes that compare favorably with
those recently built.
What can be done with one of
these old type homes is shown in
the two illustrations. The smaller
shows what to our eyes is anything
but an attractive home, while the
larger illustration shows the same
home after the ribuilding and painting
has been completed.
It will be noted that the balcony

the tower over the bay window was
and the gable transformed into a
hi;>-ro f projection at the rear. An .
overhanging roof has been extended |

of the house and to the sun parlor
and sleeping porch that have been j

By painting the house white and 1
applying a dark green paint to roof,
and shutters and a slightly lighter
shade to window trims and facings
the house is transformed into a most
inviting dwelling place. The addi

of electric service to agriculture

different shades of the same color,
