ELECTRICITY SPEEDS
UP
FARM
ENTERPRISE
The substitution of machinery for
hand and animal labor has resulted in
many notable reductions in both time
and cost of producing and handling
the output of the farm. For Instance,
the time reauired to produce a bushel
under- I of wheat from the shock has been re-
Btood, even in this late day. Scientists
know, of course, that it is the sudden
discharge ofeiectricity between two
clouds or between the clouds and the
ground.
It is essentially the same, however,
as the spark from an electric machine,
only upon a much greater scale.
Clouds charged with electricity have a
peculiarly dark or dense appearance.
The height of thunder clouds varies,
some havingr been seen that were at a
height of over 25,000 feet, while some
have been observed as low as 89 feet
above the ground.
There are three. kinds of lightning,
forked, sheet and ball lightning. The
former has the appearance of a broken
line of light, dense, thin and well de-.
fined at the edges, and occasionally"
when, darting between the clouds and
the earth breaks up into two or more
forks. The terminations of these
branches are sometimess. several thou
sand feet apart and in some cases, fig
ured trigonometrically, have been sev
eral miles apart at the terminals.
Sheet lightning seems to be a great
mass of lisht, sometimes tinged with
red, violet or blue. Occasionally it il
lumines a large number of clouds at
one time, seeming to come from the
. heart of the cloud body. Sheet light
ning occurs more frequently than
forked lightning.
Ball lightning happens less frequent
ly than either forked of sheet light
ning. It has the appearance of a ball
or meteor, darting from the cloud to
the earth, rebounding at times and
scattering its force over an extensive
area, setting fire immediately to any
object it .may come in contact with of
an inflammable nature.

duced from an average of 2 hours and
3 minutes to 9 minutes and 18 seconds.
In one of the year books of the de
partment of agriculture, it is stated
that it formerly required ,11 hours of
manual labor to cut and cure a ton of
hay, whereas the same work is today
accomplished with the aid of machin
ery in 1 hour and 39 minutes, the la
bor cost being reduced from 83 cents to
6 cents per ton. The use of farm ma
chinery has reduced the cost of farm
products and increased the output. A
very special help to the farmer today
is the utility electn'c motor especially
designed for general work on the
farm such as operating chums, cream
separators, grindstones and other ma
chines.
Levi H. Brubaker of Lancaster, Pa.,
finds such a motor very helpful on his
farm. "At our barn," said Mr. Bru
baker, "we use a 15 horsepower slip
ring motor, whtich is capable of start
ing above a 30 horsepower load. This
i's a special advantage when any of our
machines become choked. The motor
is equipped with a cricuit breaker
and is mounted on a little truck so
that it can be moved from the feed
room to any part of the barn and
anywhere round the barn. We have
used as far as 400 feet from the barn.
This motor grinds feed, shells corn,
breaks the Cobs.' cuts hay, and bails it,
fills-the silo, runs cement mixer, saws
wood, pumps water, runs the hoist for
unloading hay and operates the sheaf
elevator for unloading wheat. My
wife has a one-sixth horsepower in
the cellar for running her washing.
Other important aids to her household
tasks are an electric iron, an electric
cleaner and an electric hot plate."

A very interesting article entitled,
"Do We See Electrically?" will be
found in the July issue of the ''Elec
trical Experimenter."..
This article is from the pen of II.
W infield Secor. an associate member
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. .
The phenomenon of sight is treated
very extensively in tnis articje, and a
very little understood subject is cov
ered in a very comprehensive way so
that the layman can view in his mind's
eye a great many of the mysteries of
the human vision. The articlfe is well
worth everybody's attention.
POWERFUL TURBINES
BEATING RECORDS OF
OLD FASHIONED UNITS
At the Wise power plant in Califor
nia is the latest single aiscnarge wa
ter turbine i'u the world, being about
twenty thousand horsepower. To get
some idea of the power of such a ma
chine, imagine a string of horses six
abreast and six miles long; tbat would
be the equivalent of horsepower vested
in that one unit. However, this record
will soon bo broken.
There is to be installed in the Kern
RiVer by the California Edison com
pany, a new plant with a unit of
23,000 horsepower. Later on this rec
ord will be broken for the great West
ern Power Company at its new Cau-
bou plant where a thirty thousand
unit will be installed.
California has developed 'in hydro
electric energy, per capita, six times
more than the rest of the United
States. Miracles have been wrought
in pumping water onto the vast arid
lands where barrenness formerly
reigned supreme. Fertile fields of bar

A new electrically operated churn
which has just been put on the market
is built along the same lines as a hand
churn.
The motor churn has a higher base
than the hand churn for the purpose of
mounting the motor underneath the
churn. This high spate also gives
room for a bucket to be placed under
the faucet to catch the buttermilk.
The gears are enclosed in a remov
able housing, the receptacle and dasher
being als removable for cleaning.
Finished in blue enamel and a.lu

There are two kinds of omelets,
fnamv omelets in which whites and
yolks are beaten separately, and tho
French omelets in which they are beat
en together. Th proportions are the
same in both kinds; for each egg al
low one tablespoon of liquid, either
water, milk or for an oranpe omelet,
orange juice, one eighth teaspoon of
salt and half teaspoon of butter. Wa
ter makes a more tender omelet and
one that will stand up longer than
does milk or cream.
To make the foamy omelet, beat the
yolks and whites separately and fold
the yolk into the white. itave pan
of electric grill warm, not hot. Spread
the mixture evenly over the buttered
pan. After cooking on top of the grill
in the shallow pan until the under side
of omelet is golden brown, dry it for
a few moments beneath the coils, then
fold on hot platter. Garnish with
sprigs of parsley, or if it is an orange
omelet with thin slices of orange.
In the hotels of France the traveler
will often encounter sweet omelets as
desserts. In the , main the omelet it
self i3 the same' as that made in elec
tric grill and served on -the breakfast
table, the sweetness being due to the
added ingredients or to stuffing. To
make them light the whites of eggs
are beaten separately and a dozen or
so of butter dice scattered through the
beaten eggs.
Omelette aux apricots: Wash several
times, in lukewarn water about one
pint of dried apricots. Let them soak
for several hours so that they may
swell. Cook for a few minutes, not
allowing them to lose their form. Dry
them and stuff your omelet with them
and then powder with fine sugar.

When one lamp is hung in a vertical
position in the center of the average
indirect or semi-indirect bowl, usually
the shadows of the upper edge of the
bowl as well as the chains are cast on
the ceiling.
It is now possible to obtain a new
device known as the ''shadow shield."
The shield is made of a white, trans
lucent glass and fits down on the neck
and upper part of the bowl of a
"Mazda" "C" lamp. The resulting
diffusion of the light cast upward is
so thorough, it is said, that no shadows
appear on the celling.
The shields may be obtained for 100,
150 and 200 watt lamps.

iW ID SCRAP HEAP
Tfme has brought forth many im
proved devices for lightening the
household cares of the housewife, but
perhaps nothing has been accomplished
that has brought forth more praise
from the overworked wife fcian the
evolution of the washing machine and
the things that go with it.
Everybody that has reached his or
her eighteenth birthday has very liko!y
had personal experience with the old
fashioned "armstron?" wringer, with
its thin rubber rollers.
This old wringer, which took the
strength out of one's back and put tho
kinks in, finally gave way to an im
proved reversible wrVngcr with sl,el
tension springs and safety devices to
keep a man's nhirt from becoming
plaited in the proceps of having the
water wrung from it.
IUit today the modern housewife uses
the electric washing machine, which
saves time, labor and backaches.
There i's at the present time a wash
er on the market with revolving cyl
inder in which the clothes are washed.
They are then trsu.sferrert to an ad-
joining ccntrif us-i! dryer to be dried in
a few minutes, regardless of weather
conditions.
This method cf washing and drying
is in use at the great commercial laun
dries, and the machine has a large ca
pacity. It is suitable where there "is a
grt-at amount of laundry work to bo
done weekly.

THE MODERN
HOME LAUNDRY
By John T. Urner
(The first of a series of
article of interest to every
one who does their own
laundry or ij anyone who is
planning the installation of a
home laundry.)
INTRODUCTORY
The weekly laundry work in
these times is a bugbear to most
women, and if this work could
be minimized, their other house
hold duties could be attended
more cheerfully even without the
help of a maid.
In order to escape the drudg
ery of washing and ironing the
clothes by hand the laundry has
been sent out or a laundress has
been hired by the day. But re
cently it has been increasingly
difficult for housekeepers to se
cure this service and it seems
that almost everyone is seeking
a remedy for the situation.
Some have succeeded and it will
be the purpose of this series of
articles to give you certain in
formation which has accumu
lated around me after several
years of helping to solve the
hardest problem of household
hanagement.
Next week, the first requisite
to a modern home laundry. The
Laundry Room, will be discussed.
Everyone planning a laundry at
home will be especially inter
ested in this article.
Questions and Answers
This space will be devoted to
the answering of any questions
which you may wish to ask in
connection with your homework
or the use of arry" application you
may have. Make your questions
brief and mail to The Home Ap
pliance Company, 37 W. Adams

swered as fully as space will permit.

HOUSEKEEPING
Ancient and Modern
By E. P. Janes
Beginning a serins of articles
on modern housecleaning that
will interest every housekeeper
in Arizona.
Back in the Faleolithic Age
housecleaning wasn't much of a
problem: When the floor of the
cave-house became too awfully
cluttered and messy our pre
historic housewife ordered friend
hubby to select a new cave and
the move was soon made.
As late, as the sixteenth cen
tury housecleaning was still
comparatively simple. Our Eng
lish ancestors of that period
lived in houses with dirt or store
floors covered with layers of
rushes. The garbage carwas a
nuisance unknown to that gener
ation and scraps from the table
were freely thrown on the
floor. When the accumulation of
refuse became very great and
the stench unbearable it was de
clared time for a spring or fall
housecleaning; The method had
changed since prehistoric times
but was still a simple one. On
the designated day the rushes
were raked off the floor nnd a
e'enn layer spread down, and
presto-change a fresh new cor
pet was the result.
The next period saw the in
troduction of the dirt-laden
carpet." ths k'nd we us?d to help
tack down in the front parlor.
The kind that was heavy and
thick and covered every square
inch of that big front room. And.
with the coming of carpet ns n
floor covering the burden of the
housewife inerensecN two-fold.
Unlike her more ancient sisters
she could not move into a new
house-periodically nor could she
lay aside her old carpet for r.
new one every so often. Of
course tho broom and dustpan
had long since come into use but
they had not materially relieved
the drudgery of carpet cleaning.
A dark picture indeed, but re-

thoroughly surprised at the large variety of appliances for the

prised to learn that there are very few people in Phoenix who
realize that our store is the only one of its kind in Arizona. Now,
we are going to try to make you better acquainted with us in
