Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...varying from one to two days, the energy consumed being from 13 to 20 kWh per ton. An alternative treatment, recommended by the same author, is to stack the grass whilst green, and to blow air through the stack by means of an electrically-driven fan. In this way the grass is thoroughly dried and converted into excellent hay, of better quality than that produced in the usual way. Mowing and Harvesting by Electricity. When mowing and harvesting machines are hauled by a tractor, the knives and binders are usually mechanically driven at a rate depending on the speed of travel. Mr. Matthews finds that if an electric motor fed with current from a dynamo mounted on the tractor is used for driving the knives at a constant speed, crops can be cut about one-third faster than by the usual method, and heavy and angled crops can be dealt with satisfactorily. English Electrical Farms.

Electric light is installed in the cow-byres, foal yards, and farm-house, 30 lamps being used, of which 4 of 50 candle-power each are mounted in a bracket fitting for lighting the yard. This farm consumed in one year 633 units for lighting, at 4d. a unit, and 930 units for power at 3d. a unit, making a total cost of 23 a year; the average annual cost per farm is 20.
