Home Course In
Modern Agriculture
XVH.-The Farm Home
By c. v. GREGORY,
Agricultural DfVi<fon. Iovu State college
by Anneri PressA

MOST 1arm HOMES are very poorly
lighted. A kerosen2. lamp is dirty,
smells bad and dXs not give very
much light. A gasoline lamp is much
better. Best Of all Is the ncetylene gas
system. After this is once installed 1t
can be operated cheaply and will fur
nish an abundant supply of light.
The water system is another thing In
which farmhouses are behind those In
the city. There is scarcely q house in
a town of any size but that is provid-
ed with water and sewage systems. In
the country these are the exception
rather than the rule, yet they can be
put In at a small cost
An air tight tank in the cellar is
sometimes used to supply the pressure
for farm water system, but is rather
expensive. The water can also be
drawn from the elevated tank at the
barn, II one Is used there, the only dis
advantage In this case being that els
tern water cannot be used. On the
whole, the most satisfactory plan is to
have a small galvanized tank in the
attic. A little covering In the coolest
weather will keep it from freezing, and
few minutes work with the cistern
pump each day will keep it filed.
BY having a heater attached to the
furnace or to the kitchen stove and
making the proper connections hot and
cold water can be supplied to the bath
room, the wash room and anywhere
else that it is wanted
| The laundry room downstairs is the
place where the convenience Of such
system will be appreciated most.
In this room the washing machine,
tubs, wringer and other utensils can
be kept. An opening in the floor con-
nected with the tile drain will carry
OF the waste water, and hot and cold
water from upstairs will be always
on tap. Such a room, together with
the entire water system, can be fitted
up for less than 500.
Another convenience that can be In
stalled at small cost is sewerage sys-
tenn. This can be connected with the
bathtub and sink, and with a small
additional expense another luxury that
is seldom found on the farm, an in
door closet can be added. Drain
pipe well cemented at the joints
should be used In constructing the
sewer. The cheapest form of outlet
- the septic tank" This is a small
underground tank divided into four
compartments, so arranged that when
the first of these becomes full 1t will
overflow into the second. and so on.
The tank should be covered and pro-
vided with a ventilator. The action
of bacteria In the septic tank will de-
stroy all the solid matter, so that the
water which flows out the lower end
will be clear and have no objection
able odor. With an occasional clean
ing out such a tank will last forever
The house should be provided with
plenty of porches. These increase the
expense somewhat, but also add much
to the comfort and appearance Of the
house. Vines trained up over them to
keep out the sun and screens to keeI
out the flies make them still more
comfortable.
Nothing adds more to the external
appearance OF the house than a neat
lawn of ample size. Do not make Il

moving will be likely to be neglected
A lawn is not hard to make. A little
work leveling and preparing a fine
seed bed and liberal application of
blue grass seed that will grow Will
almost certainly result in good lawn.
Do not make the common mistake Of
planting trees too close to the house.
They detract from the appearance and
make the house close and stuffy. The
opposite extreme should be avoided
also. A few trees about the edges OF
the lawn furnish grateful shade and
provide a fanking for the picture of

ME farmer Is more important

"HE farmer is more important
than his farm, and the most
important crop he raises is
not corn nor hogs, but boys
And girls. The success Of a farmer II
not measured 80 much by the money
he makes as 1t is by the happiness he
brings to himself and to his family.
One of the surest ways of accomplish
Ing this end is by makinS<the home
surroundings attractive.
There is no place on earth where 1t
is easier to have an attractive home
than on the farm. Yet In spite Of
this too many farm homes are located
in the middle of weed patch that
goes by the name of garden or are
niuuen Denlnd sucn thick jungle OF
trees that it Is impossible to see In or
out.
The first thing to consider is the
/. house itself. 1t should be situated on
~yhe highest part of the hill on which
the farm buildings stand. A house
need not be expensive to be homelike
and convenient. Indeed. the most ex-
pensive houses are often the least
homelike.
The starting point is the cellar.
With but little additional expense this
can be made the full size of the
house. In this case the foundation
walls should extend to the bottom Of

the cellar. The first course should be
of hollow brick, laid end TO end, and
connecting with tile drain on tho
lowest side. In this way seepage
water will be kept out Of the cellar.
A cement floor is a great advantage
and is inexpensive, since the cement
need not be more than two or three
inches thick.
The cellar should be divided into
about four rooms. Hollow brick make
good partition walls and at the same
time help support the floor. One of
the rooms may be used for vegetables.
one for fruit, milk and butter, one
for laundry and the fourth &C.
mented on the inside and used as q
cistern. If the furnace is used an
other room will be necessary, or the
cistern can be located outside.
For an ordinary sized family a hun
dred barrel cistern is about the right
size. A partition Of a double layer of
filter brick, with gravel and charcoal
packed between, should extend across
II. The water Is drawn out from the
opposite side Of the filter from that to
which the pipe from the roof empties.
In this way the water obtained is pure
enough for cooking or drinking. A
plentiful supply Of soft water Is q
luxury that can be obtained so cheaply
that no one can afford to do without 1t.
Wood is still the cheapest and most
satisfactory building material. In
building the house the two extremes
of size should be avoided. If the
{ house is too small 1t will be crowded,
while II too large 1t costs more and is
harder to keep clean.
In arranging the rooms, convenience
and ease Of keeping In order are the
chief considerations. The large and
solemn spare ROOM" which was
opened only on state occasions. has
largely given way to the bright, cheer.
full living room with its bookcases and
work and reading tables, which is
used every day and evening In the
year. This room. together with the
dining room, kitchen and bedroom
with a wash and bath room II posi-
BILE, will comprise the first story.
A wash room, with a sink and 9
place for overshoes. coats and hats
is a great help In keeping dirt out Of
the kitchen. A bathroom is also {
great convenience.
A cupboard In the wall between thu
kitchen and dining room Is handy, a.
the dishes can be reached from eithe
side. A spring door between the tw'
rooms keeps out the nies and at tn
same time opens easily. A bedroom
Non the ground floor Is almost ne
cessIty, especially In the case Of sick
ness.
The upstairs will of course b
largely devoted to bedrooms, althoug
It is often convenient to have on
small room fixed up for library. Th
attic makes a good storeroom for see
corn.
Probably the most satisfactory wa
to heat the house is by furnace. TIL
Is cheaper and cleaner than stoves. i
the furnace room Is made large enoug
to hold load Of cobs and several ton
OF coal the work of fire building wi
be greatly reduced. A register In tn
hall upstairs will be enough to tax
the chill Off the sleeping rooms. 1t
a good plan to have furnace pipe ru

or kerosene range for cooking. Th1
is cheaper. handler and cleaner than
