Hydro power for the farmers, and his
ai�dresees aroused • great deal of in-
terest in the possibilities of the eto-
ployweot of electrical power in farm
operations. Mr. Purcell preeented the
matter clearly and forcibly, though
without anyeffort to overpereuade
his bearers, eaving it to them to draw
their own conclodons from the facts
he presented. The Signal would like
to give • synopsis of the information
he presented. but this is impossible in
the space available. A large Dumber

his address and showed what is being
done in the ewploytuent of electricity

THE AMHFLELD GIANT WITH HIS FATHER AND BROTHERS.
This picture shows (from left to richt) Mr. 'Neil Bain McKenzie. of town,
and his three sons, Donald N., of town, John N., Of the 12th concession of
Ashfield. and Roderick. The last named, though be is "the baby of the fam-
ily." has it worldwide reputation as "the largest man living." Roth "Dan"
and John McKenzie are big men, John standing three or four inches over six
feet, which will give the reader an idea of the srze of their "little brother,"
who is over 7 feet 6 inches in height and weights 427 pounds.
As already mentioned in The Signal, Roderick McKeneie, who is to native
of Ashfield township, was in town for a few days recently on a visit to his
aged father. He is a member of a show organization and has been in all parts
of the world. He was twice presented to the late King Edward and carries
with hirer a handsome dagger, a gift from the late King. He is forty-eight
ite
years of age.
The father of the big man is ninety-five years of age, but is querr ive
and is up town every day.
which would have to issue debentures
of the townsbip. When the trans-
mission line were built a syodicats of
farmers might be formed who could
purchase an outfit capable of doing
the heavier work of the farm, such as i
threshing, silo -filling, grinding and
wood -cutting: thia :outfit could be
taken from farm to farm as required.
Mr. Purcell gave figures of the actual
cost of this work by s syndicate in
Oxford, which varied from $68 to $101
per year according to the amount of
work done. A smaller dynamo vary-
ing froth two to five horsepower also
is necessary for individual farmers for
the lighter operations around the
house and barn. The cost in this dis-
tri.:t would Iv about one-third more
owing to the higher cost par horse'
power.
Mr. Pnrrell, who is a very lucid and
convincing speaker, was followed by
Gordon Biases, of the Seltford Heights
dairy, atm Rare a very favorable, re-
port of their experience of the hydro
power in their dairy. •
Conaiderahle interest was mani-
fested by those present at the meeting,
though no action was taken, the gru-
ersl feeling being that the cost of
equipment. and power war ton great
for the restate that could tee Mitained
on the average farm. Could a prac-
tical' storage battery be evolved that
could be nsd in field operations' the
demand f.' power would be great.
