These words hurled out in la lill+l ELEO'1' C3 li.i IU n Ingeu3,ou 1'llcuett1cal' Nene on.1 I+xw1n* One of the most interesting papers read at the British Association meet- ings : was Haat on .electricity ou the fare by Mr: Borlase Matthews, who has earried out many ingenious elec- trical ideas; oil his Yarm in Sussex, ldngiand, Mr, Matthews Ca c � i ul" tes that on a ' farm of 420 acres of arable land about eight thousand tons of material r have to be transported every . year, ear , and electric transport is far the cheapest way of dealing with, it. At present, he says, hay is often carried from the rickyard to the barn in sin- gle trusses on a man's shoulder, and electrical wagon -loaders are often scorned in the fields. His idea is that threshing ma- chines should be fed by electric 'chain conveyers, and the products conveyed in the same way to the granary or the ;barn. The manure should be treated to form a .liquid, and then pumpe%h or distributed on the field by electric devices. At present it takes fifteen men to clean, feed, and milk 150 cows; electricity could do it with three.: There is one farm we hear of which does not deserve the criticism of Mr. Matthews, says Tit -Bits. . It is at Lenton, in Nottingham, and is owned by the Prinoe of Wales. One of the things on this farm is a very remarkable drinking -trough for cat- tle. Any animal drinking at phis trough can, by pressing its muzzle on a flange, cause fresh water to flow into the, trough, and this will be automatically shutoff when it is finished. If any of these wonderful things done by electrical engineers can be likened to magic it must be the wire- less beacon station on Round Island, an 'island of the Stilly Group. On this island is to be found an amazing' collection of wireless devices. The wir.eless beacon is, of course, well known. It is a- machine which sends a wireless signal at regular in- ,tervals rather like the beam from a lighthouse, and any ship fitted with direction -finding apparatus is able, in fog, to find its exact position from these signals. What is so wonderful' in this sta- tion on Round Island is the number of devices which have been made in order that any failure of the mechan- ical parts should not interfere with the sending out of signals to those at sea. The beacon transmitter is automatically controlled by a master clock, so as to transmit the signals at regular intervals. The electricity for sending the wireless signals is provided by a battery which runs the station for twelve hours. When this battery is exhausted it automatically starts up an engine which charges it up again, and when it is fully charg- ed the engine is automatically, stopped. Moreover, Ai the first engine fails to start the battery is automatically switched on to another dynamo, driven by another engine, and if tiie second engine should fail to start the plant switches itself oft and rings a bell to - warn the keeper of the light - .house., It may almost be , said that yips wonderful beacon station carries out by electricity;' and without human aid, the work of half -a -dozen men carriee it out faithfully and punctu- ally so that the fog signals are sent out with such . certainty that the shipping' for miles round. is made per- fectly safe. Many more wireless bea- eosrs o8 the same type are to be estidbllshed on dangerous islands by Trinity House. a game of cards played in a back At the Albion Hotel, Gorrie, on Sat- axrday, January 2xst, at 2 o'clock, zoo' acres, being lot 7, con. 7, Howick, 3 miles south of Gorrie.

A new animal, designed to com- bine the milk -giving abundance or the South with the hardiness of th8 North, has been raised in the farm attached to Alaska College, at Fair- banks, Alaska. This animal has been developed with Galloway cows as the mothers and yaks from the snowy fastnesses of Tibet as fathers. Their name as well as their breed has been crossed, and they have received the name of gailoyaksi The galloyak has inherited the long shaggy hair of his ^father, but the placidity of the mother has evi- dently been responsible for the re- duction of the paternal hump. The animals , are hardy; and are well adapted to the extreme cold of the North. The value of ,the new animal Is great. Ite meat is of excellent'ftavor, and is extremely nourishing, Its hair has a high commercial value, and first quality leather can be made from its hide. A Land of Meat Enters.
