Mnnv farms are served by linos from city or other ele trie stations, and lu many of the states the long distance transmission lines of numerous hydro electric plants pass through farming communities more or less populated. These sv.stems are usually Of high IBB" alon. varying from 1100 to 0000, even as high as UOyOOO roltS. Those high voltages are not used dirts tly In motors, but must be reduced by trans formers to a suitable value, depending on Iho nature of the purpose to which I the motor Is to be applied Likewise for use on farms and In country resi dences a transformer must be had to furnish a supply of current at a low voltage value for local distribution.

When the user, however, Is Itsated beyond the reach of the distributing lilies of central station companies It la ms essii ry to install tin isolated plant to supply light, heat and power, and such a plant Is a much more prolltuble investment than the Installation of other kinds of (stwer, such as Individ ual gas, oil or steam engines, to op erate the different farm machines. lor tho purpose of generating elec tric ll.v in Isolated plants various forms of power are utilised, depending on the lociillty aud the source of fuel or water supply.
