Governor Sweltenham's attitude toward a friendly American nfllecr's assistance is nreatly deplored by many of the resl-' w.-ii. n i iMimnion, some or whom even action will be taken siiKfTCst that ho lw petitioned to resign. Members of the relief committee to Ills action is conrtrued by some as In- nliclit would not commit themselves aplrcrl by resentment of President noose-' furt h-r than to express the feeling velt s attitude towards Jamaican negroes that nothing ore could be done with. on tho Panama canal.

In the western, outskirts or the hunt lliu; manufneturo town of Orlsknny Falls, in Oneida county, X. T Is lo cated a valuable farm property with spacious farmhouso and commodloun tiut-bulldlngs. Its brond acres stretch fiom tho sides of tho clunlorlnif hills, down into the narrow valley whern flows j tho rtishlnp; Orlsltan.y creek In Its hasto to Join the Mohawk, Into which It emp ties near the historic battlefield of tho re volution, nt Orlsltany. This farm lies In tho midst of a fertllo nKrlcultiiral section, nnd ono year nfto It would not have boon pnrtlculatly noticeable to tho passer-by, thourth for many years Its well tilled fields and bountiful harvests havo been silent tltne3ses to the enprpry and Intel llKcnco that havo characterlrcd its man agement. To-day, however, It Is perhaps tho mont tallted-nbout country placo In tho land, for It possesses what Is probab ly the first practically completo electrical farm plant ever constructed. It has been visited bv larse numbers of people who have read or beard about It, nnd who have eonip throimh mlncled curiosity and Interest, tn see for themselves. The present owner and occupant ot this property Is 12. Hurdetle Miner, who suc ceeded to thp maniRetnent on the death of his father, the late David M. Miner. The elder Miner was one of the most prominent and progressive men of tho township half a century npo. Ills eldest Kin, Charles D , on llnlshincr school, dc c'ded to lenialn with his father on tho old homestead. Ilnlpli K., the second son, en tered tho field of electrical eni?lneerlni, In which ho soon won r cognition for pro ficiency, A third son, Harry V., also chose mechanical pursuits, and has been more or less associated with the elder brother. After point: forth Into tho world, there were frcfiuont home-comliiRs of tho boys; nnd Tlalph who bad become deeply Im pressed with the possibilities of electricity when he saw h s father and brother go InR throtiKh the dally rrind of duties In the creamery and about tho barns, and when ho looked over into the pasture pasture whre the creek was nishlnR alons down the rapid iV spent of the val ley, promptly i-alired that there was power golnp to waste which could be harne'sed snd made to al.t In perform ing these laborious, tusks. He finally spoke of this tn bis father; but the elder Miner, though a thoroiiRh ly progressive men, was too conserva tive at flrt to be wiillr.K to take tho lead In such a radical departure In the economies of funning, chiefly because nf his ndvanri.fi ni;e. Put In the end lie decided, with th proffered assistance of his sons, to undi rtake the execution, of the plans which Ralph had formulated. Thus it was that on the lfith day of October. it a point which had been rntefuliy sole-ted. was boRiin the erec tion of h dar, irrnrs the .har.nel of the Oriflcnny. a !l:"im nrh a normal vol ume of about 4 ceil callous per minute This dam, which liTf the "flow" type, was delrnrd and hu'lt under Ralph's ppisnnn! upervision. as Ins been all the rest of thl rrni".rhable plant. It Is thlr-ly-.-lx feet w'de and about throe nnd nne-hslf feet high, with concrete end wall", and is built up .n a very substan tial foundation of i.'.nnlcln? nnd rnn erpto. At the left of the dam. loadinr; from the pond, abnn' a hundred feet down "tream, tn nn si.nipt bank, a dlk" r-lfiht or ten feet wV- was dUR. At tho lower end of this whoel-plt, laid in concrete, was built nith a small power house shove. ile'rr ' was found that a hend of four and one half feet had beer, obtained, and an upright M-lnch "Sampron" watr r wheel was. Installed. Fpon test it was found that the wheel under this ven low bead, developed 17 1-2 hort power In the power houso s Vf t.nRhoiie Rtnerator or dynamo of 12 1-2 kilowatt rapacity was placed. This was connected by 1,500 feet of bare alunilnuin cnlle with the farm build lips. In the house wrere placed 25 K-candlo power 220 volt lamps; and In the barnr were elRht more. Illumina tion brlnp the first development sousnt. On December 27, a little more than two months after construction, was be niti, the plant was started up; and it has tiecn runnlmr .'uccessfully, nlRht and dsy, ever since. And rlcht hero Is whnt, to the ordinary Individual, is or1 of the mot nstonlshliiR thlnps shout It. The water wheel nnd dyna mo run constinuously nr.d without anv attention, exreiit two or three times a week, and without any Rovernor of any dccrlptlon to retrulato or control them. MthouMi at times much more s rerUlr ed of them than at others. Only a mall portion the power Is now used; but to prnv'do for other contingencies, Mr, Miner has di slipiecl a sovernor which ho Intends to build and attneh tn the wheel-Rate. This will reRitlat" the amount of water paslnK through the wherl to the amount of power re epilred of It. Aftnr the plant had beep, placed m succtsful operation, Ralph, with Hnrrv ns his assistant, proceeded to extend the application of tho power then at their ennimar.il. It was midwinter, nnd, In this zone, fuel Is nt this season almost .is Important ns food. Accordingly a li walt heater was placed In tho house, which heated two ror.tns (10x13 7 1-2 feet nnd 12x13 7 1-2 feet) to a temperature of about 75 degrees when the outside tem perature was at zero and higher. Thesu rooms had two windows each. Tho creek was then saving tho farmer tho expense of IH'ht for tho entire house and bains, nnd also of fuel for the living rooms. Tho little steam w,is next reunited to tn do somo of tho most laborious task In tho routine of dairy work. In tin creamery, where the milk from a herd nf 2ft cows we. s daily manufactured Into butter, was n milk separator, the hoavy bowl of which must be made to i evolve nt a spocrl of ".ffl revolutions per min ute, each morning .and evening, till tho entire milk production of the cows had gono through It, This had always been done by hand power, and was one of tho most dreaded tusks of the day. Then, there was tho big barrel churn. This too, had for nn hour, more or les, sev eral times per week, requited the mus cular nttentlon of tomeono who would much rather bo doing something else, Into this room a wire wns run; and on a convenient concrete foutulatlon a one half horse power motor was placed and connected. From this ran a narrow bell to the separator and alas, tho old hand crank, ho Important till then, was unreluctnntly relegated to tho things of the past. Then tho churn wns placed on a platform swlvcled from one corner to tho floor, tho other three corners renting on cnaters. Thla arrangement permitted tho churn to bo swung Into lino with tho dynamo nnd connected by belt. After tho churning was com pleted, tho belt wns removed, and the churn swung back again out of the way. Thus churning day was stripped of Its terrors, nnd another of tho old Iron cranks was added to Uie scrap heap. In an ndjolnlnif apartment stood the grind ing none. Xever u farmer's son who did not hnvo a wholesome dread of this crank, especially during tho hay and grain harvest Ho tht, grindstone wns nlso brought Into lino with tho motor, nnd a long round belt passed from the hitter through an open door to a pulley on tho axle of the stone. Tho electric portent was then turnod on, nnd out of the door went the Inst old crank on tho Miner farm. Hut human deslro expands with ac quisition, nnd when tho bnckaeho busi ness had been banished, tho results did not satisfy. The separator required nt tentlon still, nnd Ralph's fertllo mind beisau evolving an Idea. When tho milk bad all passed through tho machine, the latter should be stopped and rinsed. To accomplish this, a float was arranged to rest on the milk. This wns connected with tho electric current operating the motor, In such a manner that when th) milk was exhausted the float was low ered to n point where It broks the cir cuit, cutting off tho power and rtopplng the machinery. Simultaneously -with the brenklng of the current, a dish of wnter, previously plncnd above tho separator, was emptied by an Ingenious device Into tho separator before it had yet ceased Io revolve, and the mnchlne was thor oughly rinsed. Thus the separator was made to stop automatically at the mo ment Its work was completed, nnd to proceed to the none tho less Indispens able task of rinsing Itself out properly. A hand pump had been In use to force water Into a icsorvolr In tho ntt!i of the house, which suplled tho bath room, This was another matter; tho b. irroom attracted Ralph's, attention nnd soon ho had Cho llttlo motor dolM the drudgery of tho pumping also. In tho kitchen a wood cookstovo Is stilt In use, although an electrical cook ing device to dlplneo It l&1n contempla tion. To provide fuel for tho stove with nn axe or tho old crosscut Is ono of the burdens that fall upon tho man who grows bis own stovowood. Why not let tho Orlskany do It'.' And It was soon doing It. A moro powerful motor wns obtained nnd placed In position. A circular saw nnd frame were provided, nnd wood in "sted-lerigthj." was brought. The long pieces of wood were then placed on tho frame beforn the saw, the current wns turnod on, nnd th" Orlskany did the rest! In tho kitchen the onerous burden of Ironing has been very materially light ened by the uso of electrically heated ilatlrons, connected with tho current which runs Into tho house. Tho heat can be maintained uniform, and there Is no more sweating over the hot stove on ironing day. In the living rooms are electrically driven fans which pro vide ventilation and comfort for the family (luring tho hot summer days, and even tin. Ice cream freezer Is re- olvod by tho llttlo motor In the cream ery. In addition tn doing so much for hini!,rlf with the current from his plant. Mr. Miner is already furnishing power for a small manufacturing enterprise near by, wblch promises, with this c. ieap and exceedingly convenient pow er, to Increase Its bus'nes rapidly. -Ml this has been actually accom plished within less than a year from the beginning of what, to the neighbors and uns-kllled, seemed an experiment of doubtiul outcome. And. Mr. Miner says, "the end Is not yet." He has in contemplation further uses for Its power, among which Is the operating of a milking machine for his dairy, when ho has found one which he bo beves will be thoroughly practicable. If he should ever require more power than- his plant now furnishes, plans al ready made provide for raising the dam sufnclently to give a bead of six feet. This would develop 25-horse power more. Whether further use is ever made of the power or not, ho says that he Is well pleased with present results. When nked ns to the cost of the plant nnd Improvements, ho declined to give any Idna further than to say that while It has cot a lot of money to Instill (he system, It would cost a lot more to se cure Its removal.
