Electric power, generated either by steam plants or hydro-electric stations, is used to a limited extent in some favored localities, as along the Pacific seaboard, in Montana and in some of the Central States, but, as yet, it has not come into serious competition with any of the other powers, nor is it likely to do so for many years to come. Throughout the Central States of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, electricity is distributed to a number of farm homes, but the cost is high. The farmers are obliged to build their own pole lines, furnish the wire for transmission to the nearest supply-main and put in their own transformer, and then pay at the rate of ten cents a kilowatt hour for current. While electric power is very convenient, the cost of motors and other equipment just mentioned makes the cost too high for general adoption. Small water-power plants are available in only a few favored localities, and then the cost of the dam and power equipment is exceedingly expensive, so this kind of power may be left out of general consideration. The use of windmills has been on the decline for a number of years. The principal objection to their use is the smallness of the power units and the uncertainty of obtaining power when needed. The principal use of windmills is for pumping water and for this purpose they are very widely distributed. On an average, a windmill will not generate more than one tenth to one quarter of a horse power. Large mills, with twentyfoot wheels in a strong wind may develop as much as one and a tenth horse power. Even the immense mills of the Netherlands rarely develop more than five horse power, so as a general source of power, they are also, a negligible quantity exce. . .
