The lesson of the windmill section was, as taught in a variety of ways, that, given the wind, all things which require stationary power are entirely possible to the farmer.

A buzz saw with sufficient force and speed to cut the winter supply of wood in two days. A pump which operates with a huge bucket to raise a large volume of water a few inches, irrigation windmill outfit.
