A year or so ago there was published an exceedingly 

 practical little work entitled " The Farmer of To-morrow.'* 

 Rarely has as much of genuine value been put into a book 

 as was put into this one, and the author, Frederick Irving 

 Anderson, was looked to for further contributions in the 

 same field. The annotmcement, therefore, of the appear- 

 ance of " Electricity for the Farm " will be welcomed by all 

 farmers and students of agricultural matters. 



Mr. Anderson believes that many farmers are not mak- 

 ing the most of their opportxmities. He shows how, with 

 very little expense, a farmer may have all the benefits of 

 electricity for light, heat, and power either by installing a 

 simple gasoline engine or by using the neglected brook that 

 runs through some part of the farm lands. As he points 

 out, a mighty stream is not necessary to secuife sufficient 

 power, but a rivulet with only a little fall will quite answer 

 the purpose. Realizing, however, that not every farm has 

 even ^'a babbling brook," he considers other sources of 

 power.
