No more than fifty mil east .of Sacramento, California, near the ham let of Collux, Mr. Ellis Franklin owns .tiMill farm, A little trout it r cum. 'rioting aong the foothill mid across, Hie linn in cric ui iuim aim tuyiua en route (a its destination in the Bear River, has Wn detained a little while at this fatwi where k cheerfully dons the invisible mantle '0 f electricity and does nrst of the mechanical work about tin premise, heats and lights the buNdlng and does the cooking, washing and ironing and numerous other small chores. ; This diminutive trout stream in times of high water is a small torrent but during the dry season It shrinks to a few cubic inches a minute, so it was necessary to utilise an tild min er ' dikh for a reservoir' to store up a supply of water against the dry .months.' A part of this ditch, dug by the early placer miners, wis repaired to hold 100,000 cubic feet of water. A six-inrn riveted steel pipe, 445 feet in length, carries the water to the foot of the fall where the power house is located. Thcjittle two-Toot water wheel in the power house orks tin der a 75 foot head and is belted to i 240 volt, six horse-nower General- T.lcctrlc generator. The water enters the water-wheel through a 1 -l Inch nole and develops more than six 'rforwnower. The heavy niulley wheel .'takes the place of a Valance wheel and a smai"! governor prevents any accident. Current from the power-house is icarried to the house, a quarter of a mile awav. over a small copper wire Nftning on 20-foot poles. The resi dence and a small log cabin, known Mr. Franklin's den, are lighted with a total of xbotit fifty 16 candle power lamp. Another lighting cir cuit runs to the barns and out beild- In the basement t tne nouse a three horse-power motor operates a kentrifuual iumi. and with line shaft- ing drive a washing machine, wrinRen churn, cream sepemtor, grindstone and a circular saw. It is not necessary to journey to the power house to start or slop the machinery. Near the switchboard in the house is a small crank attached to a shaft running thrombi the wall to the outside. By a system nf pulleys this crank operates two' long galvan ized iron wires, running just beneath the transmission wire, which open or close the water-wheel gates as de sired. An electric buMW on the switchboard tells when the gate- valve is tightly cloed. The residence Is beautifully lighted. Lamps aggregating fully 900 candle wwer make the rooms as cheerful and pretty' as any city home. Elegant fixtures, harmonizing with ttie inter ior, make one almost forget that he it fJvinir on a farm. Outside, the broad verandas, with their pendant electric bulbs and lantherns, add to the charm of this country home. The farm laborers also shareln the luxury of electric lighting. In their little eottaM. which is apart from the reri- .in. Wirir lnmns are provided for the. bedrooms and for the library where the men pass their evenings. But lighting is only one use to which the power is put. Down in the basement the three-horsepower mntnr runs a horizontal centrifugal pump, which lifts water from an al xhaustiblc well to a reser voir dug in'.the hillside and connected to the pump by a two-inch pipe u feet long. The reservoir has a cap acity of about 6,000 gallons, and is placed 40 feet above the level of the pump, furnishing kitchen, bathroom, and laundry with water at a gouu pressure. In the front yard there is hose' connection with ' a hydrant which furnishes water fir the lawn and also adds security to the home in case of fire. In the .kitchen electrical cooking and heating devices are liberally em- ployed. During warm summer a.iys the electric stove is often connected to one of the lamp sockets on the veranda and the luncheon prepared in the cooling breeze of an electric fan, thus avoiding the use of the hot kitchen stove. The use of electric flatirons also docs away with the old stove formerly so necessary on iron ing day. ' During the winter when, there is always sufficient water for continuous operation at full load, electric heaters are used instead of the small wood stoves formerly kept a man busy most of the time. As all farm" plants should be, this THE MOHNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. little electric plant it a nearly "fool proof as was possible to make It. It ttoiiircs practically no attention, afld the power house need not be visited more than once a week with a supply of oil, if as often as that. Every night in the year the plant carries an average of 30 to 40 lights from the dusk till midnight and after that time a lesser nimibcr. With the other services it performs during the davtime the amount of electrical en ergy used on this farm, if valued at the rate, of ten cents per kilowatt hour, would be worth more than $700 pef year. When we consider tne taci that the plant did not cost more than $1,500 which includes costly fixtures, the water works system and all ap purtenances,' we find that it is paying a handsome profit on the investment. Hut this is only one way of looking at it. The pleawres ana conven iences it has added to farm life can not be measured by dollars and cents. It has added a charm to country life, iruch as no other investment of an equal amount could possibly have ilone. PRESERVING EGGS Eggs may be preserved for several months by different methods. U put up right in the spring they may be krpt : till the following fall or winter. They will not be as good however, as fresh -laid eggs. A method that will preserve the orig inal quality of the eggs for an in definite period has not yet been dis covered. By cold storage, eggs arc put in large -quantities during 'tis spring "cason when prices are low, bnt where it is desired to preserve a small quantity for the home use the cold storage method is not practic able. Besides cold storage, there are two methods of kcrping eggs that give good results. They are the lime method arid the water glass method. If the work be properly done, either water glass or lime will keep the eggs in fairly good condi tion. , Eggs intended for -storage should fce fresh a'nd dean. Washing the tags rather injures their Keeping quality and it should not be done un ! ss the eggs are dirty. March or Aoril ckbs will keep better than May or June egg. The sooner they :.'r put into storage after being laid the better they will keep. Jf neces sary to keep them fur a few days be fore being preserved they should be ki 't in a cool, dry place. ' , The Lime Method. Dissolve a Dound of lime in five gallons of water. The water should be pre viously boiled to sterilize it, and then cooled- Stir thoroughly, l and let ettlc Then pour -'off the dear liq uid into a wooden or earthern jar or tub. Fill with eggs till within an inch of top of liquid. This .will al low for evaporai'on. The liquid should not be allowed to get lower than top of eggs- When the vessel is tilled with eggs cover it with coarse muslin or factory, over which spreads a paste of lime to exclude the air. The Watc; Glass Method. Water Jjlass (sodium silicate) may be pur chased at the drug stores. Use the liquid form and the compact; water, eicht parts. Use eanbern jars or wooden tubs or barrels that are per- ... fectly clean, and store in clean place. Water glass should not cost more than 75 cents a gallon. The mater ial used will cost about a cent per dozen of eggs stored. Either of these methods closes up the pores of the eggs, and when boil ed the shell will crack. Puncturing the shell with the point of a needle will prevent this. Pilea Cured in 0 to 14 Days PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, Blind.
