Atlantic City, .Juno 8. Eminent
phjsleinns advocated "contract prac
tice" by physlclutiB bcfoio tho Amer
ican Acndumy of Medicine ut their
closing meeting In consideration of
tho problem of securing proper med
ical attention for tho wngo earners at
sninll cost.
Tho plan laoral, proposed small
niouuily payments by tho cUent to the
physician, who Is td attend them In
case of Illness without extra charge.
Dr. Benedict of Buffalo claimed that
under the present system tho poor,
unable to pay doctor bills, ofton delay
calling a- physician until the disease
is beyond easy cure. Ho claimed that
the contract physician plan wodld also
secure the doctor agajhist loss by un
paid bills and guarantee tho young
physician a living Income.
James H. McBrldo of Pasadena, Cal.,

ELECTRICIANS ON 8TRIKE
Walkout Affects Omaha, South Omaha
and Council Bluffs.
Omaha, Juno 8. The electrical
tradesmen aro out on a strike here.
The strike also affects Council Bluffs
and South Omaha. Tho strikers de
mand 50 cents an hour without gradu
ation. They wero formerly getting
from 37V6 to 46 cents.
The action of the electricians Is
thought to be the first move toward a
general strike among all building
trades. A meoting of the contractors
In the three cities is being held dally
at noon here for preparation In tho
event of a general call out.
The effect of the strike, It Js thought
by the contractors, will bo limited, as
they claim no work will be held up
unless all trades are called' out. Most
of tho spring contracting is said to bo
complete and now business Is at a
standstill. The strikers Bay they will
stick to their demands.

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
-

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

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.
