The United States government is advocating the use of electricity more extensively on -the farMs. It is pointed out that where electricity is usel laborious farm work is reduced andjjetter results are obtained. Many things can be done on a farm with electricity, such as churning, grinding grain for live stock, food for poultry, washing' dishes, lighting the buildings and other neces sary tasks that now require brawn and sap vitality. Farm life should be made as pleasant and easy as possible, to increase its popularity. The work of the women folk on the farm would be much less arduous with the installation of electrical appliances, say the government investigators, fcr on their shoulders falls much of the most trying work on the farm. 'I he aver age farm woman works a few minutes more than thir teen out of twenty-four hours during summer, and her daily average for the year is eleven hours and eighteen minutes. Half of the women on farms, say the gov ernment reports, are at work at 5 a. m. and get prac tically no rest until they retire at night. Of every 100 women on farms thirty-six'of them help with the milk ing, while seventy-nine of them trim and fill lamps, arid all but four do the family washing. As a labor-saver electricity, says the government, has no equal, while the saving of vitality to both man and woman is astonishing where it has been tried out. Many farmers of Nebraska and Iowa have installed electricity and few of them would do without it now.
