Electricity on New England Farms 



23 



Farm No. 6 — Current Consumption and Costs. In considering the current con- 

 sumed, as shown in Table 6, it should be borne in mind that the house lights, 

 barn and poultry lights, washing machine, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, and 

 water pump were in use throughout both 1925 and 1926. 



The heat circuit equipment was not installed until June, 1926, but in spite of 

 this fact the total current consumption for 1926 shows 599S kilowatt hours or an 

 increase of 520%. 



Something of the influence of poultry lights is shown by the figures for the 

 winter months.
