United States Conlnl Otto loederleln , at
Lelpeic Germany , has male a report to the
State department UPOI the working of electrIc -
trIc IJloWl , which are Cmlng Into use to SGme
extent In that countr ) ' . I.'rom the con-
sul's , Iescrlpton of the electric IJlo\ It I
II cul to unlerstnnd just where thp econc
oniy In its use Is to be touud. That It could
or woul1 ever bo madl available In this
country Is doubtful. 'ro plow by electricity ,
wIth the ( machines In ! se In Germany , would
be resardd here as too complicated and expensive -
pensive a work to receive much favor.
There are three pieces of machinery that ! O
to make UII the electrical \llow \ , to sa ) noth-
leg of the chains , anchors and cable car-
tinge ! necessary In Is uee.
First . a steam stationary engine , or " 10-
comohle , " to furnish power to the dynamo :
racond , the dynamo , which furl hes the
electrIc current to the motor , which Is at-
tachell to the plow taklng the third pIece .
of machlner The power Is transmltel to
thc motor b ) two copper wires or cJhles ,
which , being mounted on cable carriages ,
follow the plow about. But there Is yet .
another thing necessary , alll that Is the ( ap-I' '
plicatlon of the power of the motor to the
plow Itself . ThIs Is accomplished by a chain
stretched across the field on a line with the
furrow , nlll hell taut by triple ground an-
chars , The anchor shaft of the motor sets
In motion a double epur wheel , which In
moton
turn , drives a plnlonel\ \ shaft . which grips
the plow along. On
the chaIn , and so pulls
reachiiiig the end or the chain the plow Is
tilted ! the othir side , and the simple reversal -
versal of the current sets the plow In mo-
Uon In the opposite dlreeloll In returning
It deposits the chaIn sIdeways ready for the
next row ot furrows A laborer , by turIng
log n lever draws UP the three groutt an-
chor . alid by this simple action . sets the
traveling wheels affixed to the anchor axles
In motion , so that tM anchors are easIly
moved to the ncxt furrow.
The plow Is. ted wlh two , three or tour
shares , according to the \ scale of husbandry
II which I Is iDed . Farming on a large
scale requIres a four- . h.le plow and heavier
machInery.
The first cost of tn electrIc plow , with
tour shares , Is n9 f610ws : Cost ot sta-
tonary steam englle coiiipiee ( forty to
forty-nve horse-power , $3,09t : dynamo machine -
chine , IncludlnA founlatlons , and driving
belts to produce 33,000'watts per hour , $1,190 :
electrIc conduit , conplete . t.80 miles In
lenrth , : It901 mbor 'and plowIng gear.
$2OGO : chain anti anchorS . $210 : total cost of
an electric plow $7744. '
The amount of worll'thnt ' ( can be done with
n four-share plow 11 i day of ten hours Is I
given as four square hectares , n little less
than rune acres , TO 'I'ork thl ( machine requires -
quires onO engineer ; ine driver , one man to
attend the chain ant \ alchors ( and two ho's
to ( attend , the cable cartcges.
rl/es.
I will be seen from the above that 11-
trlcly In plowing s rot likely to b come
popular In this cOUnt ) The first cost of
the machinery alou6 would be prohibitory.
