PLATTSMOUTH S EMI-WEEK L Y JOURNAL. PAGE EIGHT. THTJESDAY, MAY 18 1918. THE USE OF ELEC TRICITY ON THE FARM SAVES TIME MEANS EXTRA WORKING HOURS AND GREATER PRODUC TIVE RANGE. Modern Factor Essential " in Doing Work Quickly and Lowering Cost of Operation. How many working hours per year are necessary to keep your farm up to its normal production? If it is an average sized farm 140 acres it will require from 7,000 to S.000 hours for three workers the owner or manager, hired man and the farmer's wife. If it is your desire and purpose to increase the production on your farm, it will be necessary to in crease the number of working hours, or to make some of these hours 'count" for more than they would ordinarilj-. Or it may be you are finding it tor -phis is an absolutely automat necessary to get along without the ic system, in which the motor runs hired man as many others are do-vhen tne pressure in the tank goes Ing. That means a reduction of(down and in -which water is main some 2,300 to 2,500 working hours tained at a pressure sufficient to (not counting the hired man for the force water through pipes to faucets full year) and production must beall aout the premises. lowered or again some .way must bej round to make the hours for more than usual. count" While we do not always stop tofof the laborious pumping and carry think of it, we have been trying for ing, for watering the stock without years to make the hours "count" for any pumping, for fire protection, for more on the farm, in other words to all the many uses that one finds for increase the efficiency of the work- Jwater about the farm, all this with ers. It is to this end that we have 'every bit of the ease and conveni- come to use improved machinery and to replace hand labor. One of the most modern aids to the farmer and his household is electricity In most instances this' is secured from a private electric j water system, electrically operated, plant installed on the farmer's own ' is used. Two hours a day is an premises, because most farm homes other 730 hours a year to be added are beyond the reach of the central to our annual saving, power station. There are other ways, of saving Usually the farmer secures an e!-.about tne farm nome by means of ectric plant with the idea of set- the use of electricity, such as electrie ting most of the benefit from the(heat for the flat iron on ironing day, electric light. And it is a very con- tbe operation of little grinders and siderable benefit, for aside from the pleasure and satisfaction of having the most modern form of home-lighting, there is a considerable saving of time and labor about the house and barn when the kerosene lamps and lantern are put away and light is obtained just buy turning a switch here and there. If this saving is only one-half hour a day, there is 180 hours a year saved, to be added to the productive working time. It is in the use of electric power, however, that the most striking ex amples of time and labor saving are found. v Wherever there is a machine about the premises that someone ordinarily must turn with a crank, that ma chine can be run with a small elec tric motor at a saving of time and labor that every farmer is in duty bound to consider at the present time.

With an electric motor there will be a saving, on the average, of from 2Vi to 3 hours a week from each of these machines. Electricity from the farmer's own plant, to run these machines will cost no more than two cents an hour. They can all be run by the same small portable motor and nine more hours a week, let us say, can be saved for necessary hand labor. Nine hours a week are 468 hours more a year to be devoted to pro ductive work. . If the farm dairy "herd is milked with a milking machine, that too can be run with electricity, with a minimum of care and attention and with a saving of an hour of more for the milking. So lets add to the annual saving at least 365 hours on account of the milking machine. Then there are machines used oc casionally, like the grindstone, the fanning mill, horse clippers or sheep shears, sausage grinder and others that the. farmer will be, able to op erate, ,the saving from which would j easily total another 100 hours per year. One of the most striking instances of time and labor saving is found j where a water pressure system is operated by means of an electric nio- Thus one can have water piped for complete household service, kit- chen, bath and laundry, without any ence that are enjoyed in the modern city property. For the average farm, there is a possible time and labor saving of two hours a day when a modern the like, but the total of the items mentioned runs up .to surprising fig uresl743 hours a year. Over seventeen hundred hours to be added to the productive working time on the average farm. Equal to three-fourths of the time of a hired man for the seven or eight months he is actively employed on the farm. When you ge: your newspaper, you look with tremendous interest to see what our boys are doing "Over There." Wouldn't it discour age you to get the idea that they were not doing everything they could to insure victory? If they are to be kept in the full flush of hope and courage, they must know that all our resources are-be ing employed as never before in their behalf. They must not have any reason to feel that the folks back home are failing in any particular to hold up their hands, to keep them fed and clothed and in every way to support them in this time of their sacrifice. The farmer who knows that the employment of modern equipment driven by electricity, can add seven teen hundred productive working' hours to the time now available on a farm, certainly owes it to himself. and to our soldiers, to make a thor ough investigation and find out just what electricity would do to make the hours "count" more for him and to increase production on his farm.

Unless they are controll ed at thi3 season, they will have s marked effect on the. number of eggs produced by laying hens and the number of chicks raised. Specialists of the 'Department of Agriculture recommend that houses be thorough ly cleaned, whitewashed or sprayed with kerosene emulsion at this sea son. The hens should also be pro vided with a good dust box and in sect powder should "be dusted among their feathers Mit,es usually stay in the cracks of the henhouses and under A the roosts in the daytime, where they lay their eggs. At night when the fowls go to roost the mites come out of their hiding places, attach themselves to the fowls, and feed by sucking the blood from the birds. Provide a good dust, box contain ing a mixture of road dust or wood I ashes and allow the hens to dust themselves. Dusting the hens by hand is effective and is especially recommended for setting hens and fowls that are very much infested with lice. Good homemade dust or louse powder is made by mixing to gether iy pints of gasoline and 1 pint of crude carbolic acid, with 4 quarts of plaster of Paris. Allow it to dry, crush to a powder and work it well into the feathers. One of the most effective oint ments used to destroy lice is a mix ture of equal parts of blue .ointment with vaseline or lard. Mix these ingredients together ana apply a small portion ( about the size or a pea) to the top of the head under the wings and around the vent (Blue ointment should not be used on hatching hens or small chicks.) , Profit on Binder Twine Retailers of binder twine should not be perfnitted to charge more than a profit of two cents, per pound. We are notified by the Food Administration at , Washington that a charge in excess of this amount would be considered an unreason able profit. Dealers in binder twine should be advised to get their or ders in early on account of the slow freight movement. Farmers should be advised to place their order early so that the dealers may know the amount required in each community L. R. SNIPES, Co. Ag. Agt. DEPARTS FOR THE EAST TODAY. From Monday's Daily.

Attempt Made to - Enroll Its Army Against Allies as in the Case of Poland Recently. Amsterdam, May 14, Emperor William has issued a proclamation concerning Lithuania in which he says it IsA assumed Lithuania will participate in the war burdens of Germany. iiythe proclamation the "indepen dence of Lithuania allied with the German empire" is recognized. "We assume that the assurance," the proclamation says further, "will take the interests of the German empire into account equally with those of Lithuania and that Lithuania will participate in the war. burdens of Germany, which secured her libera tion." Former Russ State Lithuania is one of the former Russian border states which the Germans have attempted to set up as nominally independent countries under German influence. Germany is making every effort to exploit the states economically, but, except In the case of Poland, has not at tempted to force the former Russian subjects to fight with the German army, as the emperor's announce raent indicates may now be done in Lithuania. The attempt to enroll a Polish army on the same plea that is now made in the case of Lithuania was a failure and the "Polish legions" were disbanded. The Vorwaerts of Berlin said , re cently that strong opposition was de veloping among the Lithuanians to transforming their country into German "semi-federal" state. Entire independence is demanded. The Lithuanians number about 2.000,000. Says It is Unthinkable. London, May 14. Emperor Wil liam's message recognizing the inde pendence of Lithuania allied with the German empire, was received to day with no enthusiasm by officers of the Lithuanian National counci headquarters here. "The assumption that Lithuania will participate in the" war burden of Germany means a contribution of three things money, munitions and men' the officers declared. "The Irst we have not, as Germany has already impoverished us; the second we have no means of supplying be cause we lack the hrst. Mhererore Germany can have reference only to men. Men from a self-declared de mocracy to fight in the ranks of autocracy? Unthinkable. Lithuania would not consent. Are her citizens to be dragooned into the ranks of the kaiser? This would be ah abridg ment of the sovereignty which Ger many has already recognized, for Chancellor Hertling's reply stated, 'We hereby recognize Lithuania as free and independent.'

Would Ex pect in Natural Sequence Jimmie, the "Possum" (Herbert Rawlinson) was the best burglar in Boston, but Jimmie had a big heart, as Velma Gray found out. She was in a terrible predicament. Jimmie knew where there was perfectly good $10,000 necklace that was destined for a wedding present But there were a whole lot of things about the wedding present that Jim mie did not know. He did not know Velma (Alice Lake); he did not know that she was marrying a cow boy millionaire;-that daughter loved another; that they two exchanged exchanged letters in a knot hole of an old apple tree; that a parson with a book and a ring waited in a house which he, Jimmie, intended to enter and that the "other man'' was ex pected by both the girl and the millionaire at ten o'clock that night This last ignorance was terribly im portant to Jimmie, for he had chos en this precise moment to enter the French window into the back parlor "Hands up," commanded a voice and there was such western author ity in it that Jimmie's hands went up with alacrity. His feet obeyed with the same alacrity when he was ordered to stand up beside a beauti nil girl whom he had never seen and to "marry her or die." That's some situation. That master novelist and playwright, George Bronson Howard, devised it, and it is but the first situation in the most exciting and entertaining story of the year.

One of th slo gans of Nebraskans, all of whom are going into the Red Cross drive hand and heart, will be. "Put Her Over the Top Inside of 4 S Hours." For the next Red Cross drive, starting May 20, the quota of Ne braska has been set at $1, 300, 000. Of this, Omaha's quota is $200,-000 This looks like a big sum of money to raise, but, according to information coming to the headquarters, both city and state will go "over the top." Work, however, is not going to cease when the quota has been' raised. It is the purpose of Hie workers to keep right on and not stop until Ct uble the sum asked for is in the treasury. It is not believed that it is going to be difficult to push the contribu tions up to $2,500,000. The $1,300. 000 asked of Nebraska is an insigni ficant sum when it is taken into con sideration that this is much less than $1 per capita for the state. And to raise $200,000 in Omaha is looked' upon as easy, it is oniy auoiu i. cents per capita. $100,000,000 Total. The United States, as a whole, proposes to raise $100,000,000, and it is' believed that Nebraska will be one of the first units not only to come forward with its quota, but to go 1 )0 per cent better. The Red Cross drive that starts May 20 is not to be a long drawn- out campaign. It is the plan of the local committee to push it to a whirl wind finish and In Nebraska "clean up cities and counties within Z4 hours, if possible. The time limit for putting the state "over the top" has been set at 4 8 hours. To do this everybody must grasp the tow line and pull. Information filtering in to headquarters indicates thaL the pulling" will be done. John Livingston, one of our young farmers south cf the city, has Just. purchased a new car, this tinfe a six Cylinder Reo, he having had a four cylinder Reo, and thought he wou'd ike to have a more powerful ma chine. He made the purchase through the T. L. Amlck agency, and disposed of the old car he had to Mr. Amick. Miss Anna Egenberger and little niece Dorothy Baumgard, were pass engers to Omaha this morning, -hete they went to meet Mrs. Nick B.ium- gart, who arrived today from Ctooks ton, where" they have been making their home for the past few years. Mrs. Bauragarr will visit with her mother Mrs. Mary Egenberger,-and the others of the family for come time. . f . CnpTrieht 1018 Tlio IIoum) vi JvupjH iihi'imer Quality and Values Maintained!

Stated in Washington that the Out put is Increasing Steadily at the Present Time. Washington, May 14T American built Liberty motors may first reach the fighting lines in France driven by French and English scouts. It was learned tonight that urgent! requests from the allied governments for early delivery of the American engines have been received and are being met. Shipments already have heen made to Eneland and there are intimations that General PershingT approves diverting additional motors to mpet French and British renuire- ments, even if further delay to pro duction of American scouts results The British government, it is said, after careful investigation of the en gines by a special expert sent over for that purpose, has been pressing steadily for some thousands of mo tors to be delivered for British ma chines. Difficulties Reported Overcome The French experts, at first some what doubtful of the Liberty motor, are now asking for and will receive j engines by July 1. Difficulties with overheating, al Ieged in a letter from Louis Carmen read in the senate yesterday to make the Liberty motor useless, are de clared authoritatively to have been overcome. Radiator trouble, was encountered, particularly when machines which had been Operated successfully in I northern latitudes were taken south. Thesp have been corrected, it is . . i Stated and the lubrication system of the eneine improved to the point where no further trouble is expect ed from it. To support their view that the day of delays in aircraft production are over, officials point out that last month saw Liberties .delivered in " u I hundreds, and to present Indications j that the output would be more than doubled this month and steadily in creased thereafter. Output of Motor. The output last month, so far as known here, was greater than that of any foreign motor, with the pos sible exception of one 130-horsepower type used in France. No high power motor approaching the Liberty 4o0 figure was within sight of the Amer ican output. It was to reach that end in quantity production, it was declared, that the liberty motor was designed. Actual trial of the availability of the motor for a single-seated fighjMng machine will soon be made. Two ma chii es, one a seaplane, have been designed and built in this country, and will be ready for trial soon. they represent the first efforts ever made seriously to place such high power in single-seated short-winged speed machines. wm.
