ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR THE
FARMER.
,nThe farmer of today is becom
ing more and more progressive.
He is demanding conveniences
nd labor-saving implements for
the farm as much as the cotton
jnill owner is for the factory.
In some sections of the country
the gasoline plow and reaper is
used on the farm; wood is cat
by machinery; the automobile
has become a necessity; and wa
ter and electric lights are being
installed in the homes.
We would like to direct the at
tention of our farmer friends to
the last named convenience
namely, electric lights. We
need not dwell on the advan
tages of this over the kerosene
light. Every well informed
person knows this system affords
abetter light and is more con
'. . i i j
vement, less dangerous, ana
' less troublesome than the kero
ene light.
It is possible for a large num
ber of our country citizens to
pat electric lights in their
'tttwte. Ar. TltTs Inn -fiu-tm s-tll M 1a

" cai electricians that the electri
cal equipment for such a system
1 can be installed for about $100.
The power to operate it can be
obtained from a small stream.
' After installation practically the
whole expense would be for re
pairs, an item almost negligible
- This is one of the modern con-
nipnrAS r.hnt the f irmprs nil
. over the country are i beginning
to utilize. How would you like
" to sew, cook, carry in wood, or
v feed stock by an electric light?
