Fig. 6. Electric load for 1925 and 1926 on Farm No. 4. 



very considerable increase will be noted during the warm months. 



The power circuit has been installed for such a short time that the curve is 

 not paricularly important. The transfer of the milking machine and water 

 pump to this circuit is seen in the quick falling off of the light circuit curve. 



The curve of total consumption shows clearly another case where a desirable 

 summer peak load and one of considerable size occurs. The load building effect 

 is also evident when compared to the consumption in 1925. The curves for the 

 two years in August show an increase in consumption of 925%. Comparatively 

 little farmstead equipment has as yet been developed on this place. Such short 

 term operations as ensilage cutting, wood sawing, etc., are hired out.
