THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



ELECTRIC POWER PAPER MILLS. 



The Cliff Paper Co., of Niagara Falls, 

 are building a new power house, in which 

 they will generate electricity for use in 

 their paper mill. This paper company 

 has a pulp mill, driven by two Leffel 

 Wheels, of 2.500 horse power, at the 

 water's edge below the falls, and a paper 

 mill on the top of the high cliff, thus se- 

 curing a double service from the water. 

 This double use of water is quite an 

 innovation, and has brought discredit 

 upon the saying that " The mill will never 

 grind with the water that is passed." 

 Now, this progressive company is about 

 to take another step to practice economy, 

 and it will adopt electricity, to succeed 

 steam, to run their paper machines. 

 When this proposed electric plant is in- 

 stalled, it will drive out three steam 

 engines of over 200 horse power. Pre- 

 paratory to the adoption of the electric 

 current, this company will build a stone 

 power house, 20 by 30 feet in size, close 

 to their pulp mill. The penstock leading 

 to the pulp mill will be tapped, and a 

 portion of the water diverted to run a 

 250 horse power James Leffel turbine, to 

 which will be attached two 125 horse 

 power generators. At the top of the cliff 

 will be two electric motors, of 100 horse 

 power each, attached to each of the 

 paper machines; besides there will be two 

 motors of five horse power each, to furnish 

 power for the small machinery about the 

 mill. 



THE tenth annual State Farmers' In- 

 stitute, with Superintendent George Mc- 

 Kerrow, of Madison, in charge, will con- 

 vene at the City of Watertown, Wisconsin, 

 from March 10 to 13. A large number of 

 institute workers from the Northwestern 

 States and Canada have signified their in- 

 tention of being present, with a view to 

 effecting an international organization. 

 This will close with a convention of prom- 

 inent institute workers.

 kind of man thet I like to see elected. 



JOSHUA. How's that? 



MARIA. Well, instead of cavortin' 

 raouud tellin' w' at he'd deu, the paper 

 says he just staid to home and " mended 

 his fences." Puck.
