Modern Agriculture XVII. The Farm Home By C. V. GREGORY, Agricultural "Division, Iotva State College Copyright, 1000. by American Press Association TITE farmer Is aioro Importnnt than his farm, and tlw most Important crop ho raises la not corn nor hogs, but boys and gltls. The success of a farmer Is not measured so much by tho money he makes as It Is by the hnpplucss he brings to himself nud to his family, Ouo of the sumst ways of accomplish ing this end Is by limiting the home surroundings attractive. There Is no plnce on enrth whero It Is easier to have nu attractive homo than on the farm. Yet In spite of this too mauy fnrni homes are located In tho middle of a weed patch that - Mw unmo of garden or aro uldden behind such n thick Junglo of trees that It Is impossible to see In or out. The first thing to consider is tho houso itself. It should be situated on the highest part of thu hill on which tho farm buildings stand. A houso need not be oxpenslvo to bo homellko nnd convenient Indeed, tho most ex pensho houses nro often tho least homelike. Tho stnrtlng point la tho cellar. With but little addltlonnl expenso this can bo made the full size of tho house. In this case tho foundation walls ehould extend to tho bottom of - fig. xxxin fabji iiomb hahr and deso- IiATE rilOSI LACK OP TUBES, BIUIUUS AND LAWN. the cellar. The first course should bo of hollow brick, laid end to end, and connecting with a tile drnin on tho lowest side. In this way sccpago water will bo kept out of tho cellar. A cement floor Is a great advantage and is inexpensive, since the cement need not bo more than two or threo Inches thick. The cellar should bo divided Into about four rooms. Hollow brick mnko good partition walls and at tho samo time help support tho floor. Ono of tho rooms may be used for vegetables, ono for fruit, milk and butter, ono for a laundry nnd the fourth ce mented on tho Inside nnd used as a cistern. If tho furnnce is used an other room will bo necessary, or tho cistern can be located outside. For an ordinary sized family a hun dred barrel cistern Is about tho right size. A partition of a double layer of filter brick, with gravel and charcoal packed between, should extend across it. Tho water is drawn out from the opposite side of tlie filter from that to which the plpo from tho roof empties. In this way tho water obtained Is puro enough for cooking or drinking. A plentiful supply of Boft water is n luxury that can bo obtained .so cheaply that no one can afford to do without It Wood Is still the cheapest and most satisfactory building material. In building tho houso tho two extremes of size should be avoided. If the house Is too small it will -bo crowded, while if too large it costs moro and Is harder to keep clean. In nrranglng tho rooms, convenience nnd ease of keeping In order are tho chief considerations. The large and solemn "spare room." which was opened only on Btnte occasions, has largely given way to tho bright, cheer ful living mom with its bookcases and work nnd reading tables, which is used overy dny nnd evening In tho year. This room, together with the dining room, kitchen and bedroom, with a wash nnd bath room If possi ble, will coroprlso tho first story. A wash room, with a sink and a place for overshoes, coats and hats, is a great help In keeping dirt out of the kitchen. A bathroom is also a great convenience. A cupbourd In the wall between tho kitchen and dining room Is handy, as the dishes can be reached from either side. A spring door between the two rooms keeps out tho files and at tho same time opens cosily. A bedroom on tho ground floor Is almost a ne cessity, especially In tho case of sick ness. Tho upstairs will of course bo lnrgely devoted to bedrooms, although It Is often convenient to have one small room fixed up for n library. Tho attic makes a good storeroom for seed corn. Probably tho most satisfactory way to heat tho houso is by n furnnce. This is cheaper nud cleaner than stoves. If tho furnnce room is made largo enough to hold a load of cobs and fcevcml tons of coal the work of flro building will be greatly reduced. A register In tho hall upstairs villi bo enough to tako the chill off the sleeping rooms. It is n good plan to havo a furnace pipe run to tho kitchen, too, and use n gasoline or kerosene rango for cooking. This Is cheaper, handier and cleaner than a cook stove, and the kitchen can be kept much cooler in the summer time. dfflno ran if arm Most farm homes are very poorly lighted. A kerosene lamp Is dirty, Bmolls bnd nnd doea not glvo very much light. A gasoline lamp Is much better. Best of nil Is the ncetylono gas system. After this is onco installed it enn bo opcrnted cheaply nnd will fur nish nn nbuudnnt supply of light. Tho water system Is another thing in which farmhouses nro behind those in the city. There is scnrccly a houso in n towu of any rIzo but that Is provid ed with water and powngo BS'stems. In tho country these nro tho exception rnthor than the rule, yet they can bo put In at n small cost. An nlr tight tank hi the cellar is sometimes used to supply the pressure for a farm 'water Bystom, but is rather expensive. The water can also bo drawn from the elevated tank at tho barn, If ono is used there, tho only dis advantage In this case being that cis tern water cannot bo used. On tho whole, the most sntHfactory plan la to havo a small galvaulzed tnnlc In tho nttic. A lltflo covering in tho coldest weather will keep it from freezing, and a few minutes work with tho cistern pump oach day will keep it filled. By hnvlng n heater attached to tho furnaco or to tho kitchen stove nud making tho proper connections hot and cold wnter can bo Bupplled to the bath room, tho wash room nud nnywhoro elso thnt it Is wanted. Tho laundry room downstairs is tho placo whero tho convenience of such a systom will be npprcclntcd most In tills room tho washing machine, tubs, wringer and other utensils can bo kept. An opening In tho floor con ncotcd with tho tile drain will carry off the waste water, and hot nnd cold water from upstairs will bo always on tap. Such a room, together with tlvo entire wnter system, can bo fitted Dp for less than $100. Another convenience that can be In stalled at small cost Is a sewerage sys tom. This can bo connected with tho bathtub and sink, and with a small additional expenso another luxury that is seldom fouud on tho farm, an in door closet, can be added. Drain pipe well cemented at tho Joints should be used in constructing tho Bewcr. The cheapest form of outlet U tho "septic tank." This Is n small underground tank divided into four compartments, bo arranged thnt when tho Hrst of theso becomes full It will overflow into tho second, nnd so on. Tho tank should bo covered nud pro vided with a ventilator. The action of bacteria in the septic tank will de stroy all tho Boltd matter, bo that tho water which flows out tho lower ond will be clear nud have no objection able odor. With an occasional clean ing out such a tank will last forever. The house should bo provided with plenty of porches. These increase tho expenso somewhat, but also add much to tho comfort and appearance of tho house. Vines trained up over them to keep out the sun' nnd screens to keep out tho flics mnko them still moro comfortable. - Nothing adds moro to the external appearanco of the bouse than a neat lawn of umplo Blzc. Do not mako it no. xxs.iv a consEB of a nkatlv ab- IlANUUD LAWN. too large, however, or tho work of mowing will bo likely to bo neglected. A lawn is not hard to make. A little work leveling and preparing a flne seed bed and a liberal application of blue grass beed that will grow will ulnioat certainly result in a good lawn. Do not mako the common mistake of planting trees too close to the house. They detract from the nppearanco nud make the houbo close and stuffy. Tho opposite extreme should be avoided nlso. A few trees about the edges of tho lawn furnish grateful shade mid provide a tlauklng for the picture of which tho house Is the central figure. The decorative value of shrubs Is of ten not appreciated ns much as It thonld be. A climbing rosebush over the porch or n few dwarf varieties in out of tho way corners will odd to tho color nnd beauty of the yard. Thero are many other llowerlng shrubs, such as snowballs, syrlnglas and lilacs, that can be used to fill in empty spaces and corners. A row or two of hard maples or elms along the driveway, with a thick ever green windbreak to tho north, will fin ish the supply of necessary trees un less thero aro corners or bare spaces about the yards that will be better for a tree or two.
