bility to fields, drainage, prevailing
winds, water supply and the nature
of the soil.
Although long lanes are usually con
sidered as economic loss, It is very
often advisable to put the farmstead
in the center of the farm and con
nect it to the road by means of a
lane. This place is approximately
equidistant from all the fields and
from the highway itself. The second
thing to "onsliier is the drainage. It
is imperative that the land should
slope from the house to the barn tnd
where it is possible from the wel
toward the house, at least the well
should be higher than the barn or
barn lot. If the prevailing wind? are
from the north as we have them In
this section of the country in the
winter, it would not be a bad plan

to place the farmstead on a south
slope thus affording as much protec
tion from the weather as nature pro
vides. The water supply probabbly
ranks as the first consideration In
the preliminary plans. A good well
Is one of the most valuable assets
a farmer could have. It is the basis
itntion for himself and the
livestock on the farm. It Is a good
plan, in fact it Is usually done, to dig
tho well before anything else has
been done on the development of the
layout. Nine times out of then this
will insure the water supply close to
the house.
These them, in a general way, are
the things to be considered In lo
cating the farmstead with respect to
the rest of the farm. It is quite an
other problem to locate and arrange
the buildings with respect to each
other after the site has been chosen.
The foremost consideration, I believe,
Is convenience convenience In do
ing chores, convenience for the stock
and convenience for all the dally
farm operations. It Is estimated that
the average farmeri wajks in .fche
neighborhood of 300 miles a year in
the simple operation of doing til"
morning chores. If you would tell
Mm that It would be necessary for
him to take a 200 mile trip during
the next year and that he must walk
all the way carrying milk, feed or.
harness he would declare that he
never in the world could find time
to do it. And yet hundreds of farm
ers are walking that much every
year over and above the distance
that would be necessary if their
buildings were effectively and effeci-
ently arranged.
The location of the farm dwelling
is the key to the whole layout and
should therefore receive first consid
eration. It should be placed on the
high ground and as close to the well
as possible. If the prevailing winds
in the summer time are from the
south or southeast, it Is well to lo
or
to
LltS
and
to
cate the stock barns, stock sheds
and lots to the north, northwest
northeast of the dwelling, so as
carrr off all offenslce odora that
might arise from this source. The
barn should be in the neighborhood
of 150 feet from the house. This cu
the distance down to a minimum a
at the same time fire is not apt
travel from one building to anothei.
All opon sheds adjacent to the barn
should open either to the south or
east The corncrlb, grainary and im
plement sheds should be accessible to
the fields. The hog lot should ad
Join the cattle yard so as to facili
tate the common practice of letting
the hogs follow the cattle. The chick
en house can be placed most any
where but Is a good plan to locate It
close to the orchard. . This latter can
then be fenced in hen tight and used
for a chicken run. A provision for
trees, vines, shrubs, flowers, etc.,
adds the finishing touches to any
arrangement and should therefore not
be overlooked.
As was stated before these consld
rations are in lieu of ideal conditions
and while it is absolutely esesntlal
that we have in mind ideal conditions
from which to base and construct our
plans, it Is very seldom that they are
encountered. More often the farm
stead site has already been stablished
and a few buildings erected. The
Agricultural Engineer is asked to
solve the problem of making this lay
out an effeciently arranged farm
stead. It is indeed quite a problem.
Its solution depends upon common
sense, good Judgment and a thorough
knowledge of the particular existing
conditions. If the farmstead site is
to remain unchanged and a new
building added from time to time,
the ideal arrangement should be born
in mind constantly and should be
the ultimate goal. If a new barn or
any other building is to be added to
the farmstead, It would not be neces
sary to erect It in the position of the

with the Idea in mind that vhen

In conclusion, I Just wish to em
phasize again the importance which
Is beginning to be felt tnrougnoui
this farming region of this rather un
heard of and unsponsored subject. 1
believe that the farmstead Is the cen
ter of all farm actlvtlles, that It is
the means to the application of sci
entific principles and shall 1 say, the
very key to farming success so why
not give it ranking consideration with
the other fanning Questions.

Men Up To?
"There may be something in this new art," you say, "but I
don't get it ; one modern thing looks as queer as the next to
me. What's it all about what arc the new men up to?"
The Dial
is the one American magazine to intelligently explain the mean
ing and interpret the trend of the new movements in art and
literature. It is the only magazine which publishes side by side
the best work produced by Americans
the best work produced abroad
the best work in traditional styles
the best work in the modern manner
in fiction, poetry, essays, criticism, and reproductions of the
fine arts.
You know that in a few years certain of our contemporaries,
whose work is anathema to the present generation, will stand
out like giants. They will be hailed as great artists and geniuses
by those who now lack the critical discernment to understand
what they are trying to do. The genius of Swift, Milton, Blake,
Molierc, Ibsen, Shelley, Poe, Thorcau, Melville, and Whitman,
to mention only a few, went unrecognized, except by the dis
criminating minority, in their own generation. Don't wait for
the next generation to see your contemporaries in perspective,
but enjoy their work now in The Dial, and accord them your
appreciation while they arc yet alive.
In addition to the best work by the new generation, The Dial
presents the finest work by established writers': Joseph Conrad,
E. A. Robinson, George Moore, Thomas Hardy, and Anatole
France, appearing side by side with Sherwood Anderson, E. E.
Cummings, Waldo Frank, Van Wyck Brooks, T. S. Eliot, D.
H. Lawrence, and Ezra Pound. The Dial thus offers you the
