Abstract
THIS book is addressed particularly to American farmers who may not know how easy it is to make use of a stream of water in producing electric power and transmitting it for lighting and heating and mechanical purposes on a farm. It shows that the initial cost is,usually small, that measurement of power is simple, that although the farmer must buy apparatus he can do this without employing an expert, and that he need have no difficulty in putting it up and getting it to work in such a way that it will give no trouble afterwards.
