the maximum amount of GOODNESS OBJ
tained
This, then, with some notifications,
was my plan for my own home. In
stead of placing the kitchen building in
the usual way, at right angles to the
main house, connected with it by
covered piazza, I built it parallel and
end on to the house, SO that all the
rooms were on one line Through the
center Of the house, or what would be
the center in the future, was a hall
twelve feet wide opening on the end of
the long porch, so that a person stand
ing at the front door could look right
down the entire length of the latter, the
view ending in the screened provision
closet built at the end by the kitchen
door, and in the wood shed, the latter
being a lean-to with two steps leading
down into it from the porch. This plan,
as can be plainly seen, gave more light
and air not only to the kitchen and din
ing-roon, but to the hall also.
The hall, as | have said, was twelve
feet wide, and while it was to be event
ual1y the center Of the house with two
rooms opening upon it on either side,
I was fain to be satisfied for the pres
ent with two rooms fifteen feet square
on one side, having no doubt that |
should see my way to adding the others
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01
About half

from the floor upwards. About half
way in the chimney or hue, a circular
hole was cut for the pipe, which entered
with an elbow The space inside below
the pipe was filled first with a couple of
bricks and on top of these, sand, so that
there could be no possible danger of
firing the plank base A fue of the
same sort was built in the dining
In the house itself the arrangement was
different. Here | had a triangular stack
chimney built, so that fireplace was in
the hall and in each of the two rooms
And [ saw that all this brick work was
carefully done, for | had no mind to
face the loss of my home by reason of
any carelessness as to heating arrange
ments, as so many are doing all the
while.
Of course all this main part of our
home was built after the arrival of its
queen, and her enthusiastic approval
was set upon each and every plan that
| had made. But there were some addi-
tions, for I, being only a mere man,
had forgotten all about those most nee
essary items of comfort and neatness
yclept closets, except the dumb Betty
china closet and the screened provision
closet on the porch. I suppose, as Mol
lie said, that [ thought of them because
they were associated with mans heart,
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

otherwise his stomach. And no doubt
she was right, as she always was I
was proud of those two closets, any
how, but they did not go far enough,
and my queen ordered another to be
put in a corner Of the dining-room
where it took up very little space, but
gave room for slowing lot of things
on its five triangular Shelves I felt
rather crestfallen too when, on viewing
the Kitchen the little wife laughingly
asked me where I had hidden the closet
for the common china and the pots and
pans? I declare had never given those
things moments thought! Just like a
man, wasn't it? Fortunately my over
sight was easily remedied, as there was
no lath Or plaster to tear down. Ours
was just plain "box house," you know,
and there are lots of advantages in such,
easily to be observed by the ordinary
man, for nails can be driven here and
there as wanted, and no harm done,
and nobody to call out, "'ware"
But | have run ahead of my story
somewhat for have not yet told of
the triumphant entry Of Queen Mollie
into her future kingdom She and her
retinue arrived one lovely afternoon in
the latter part of October, and it would
have been hard to find in all Florida a
happier family than ours as we sat to-
gether that evening and compared notes
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

at no distant day In the meantime
windows occupied the place of the future
doors. These windows with glass dou-
bic doors at each end of the hall, con-
verted it into as light and airy a parlor
and sitting room as could be wished
for, and as it measured thirty feet in
length, there was plenty of room to
swing the proverbial cat All the doors
and windows, by the way, had to be
ordered from Jacksonville and brought
down on the little Ocklawaha steamer
Now as to chimneys. 1t is not always
summer in Florida, not even in South
Florida. From November to March and
even into May, there are many days
when a fire part of the day or even the
whole day, is very grateful to ones
feelings, and very good as a bracer for
ones health Therefore cllimneys and
hues must be included in ones building
plans In the kitchen and diningroom
[ had fues built reaching from two feet
below the ceiling to point we'll above
the roof
There is always danger of fires start
ing in the ceiling where the pipe passes
through it into the chimney from be-
low, and for this reason I adopted the
safer plan of bringing the brick work
right down into the room, and resting
its base on thick square of planking
set on top of a stout beam reaching
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

you see, was the end l had in view in
putting the cart before the horse"
AS soon as the building was COM
pleted | set the carpenters to work on
a covered porch ten feet wide, and ex-
tending the whole length of the two
rooms with the three foot space between
and "blow-way' of ten feet separating
it from the main house, included, max
ing a stretch of forty-two feet The
kitchen had one glass door opening on
the porch, the dining one, and
each room had two side and one end
window. This plan gave plenty of ven
tilation and breeze, no matter in what
direction the wind might be- While the
building was going up [ had a we'll dug,
and bricked it until the solid clay was
reached When the porch was foored,
a pump stood conveniently between the
two kitchen doors, two feet from the
wall, so as not to interfere with the
free use of the porch. That was an
other Of "Crawford's queer notions"
But [ had no idea Of allowing my little
wife to hoist heavy buckets of water
out of deep we'll, or to carry those
buckets from a distance and then up
several steps into the kitchen. I had
seen nine out Of ten women doing this
very thing in their pioneer homes, and
it made me feel ashamed of the men
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

who allowed such needless strain and
toll to fall On those they should have
shielded And let me whisper in your
ear, that I advised every one of those
poor women to strike and to draw no
more water until they received more
consideration from those who might
make their heavy work lighter if they
choose.
Now as to my plans for the main
house; they were experimental in a
way, but turned out so we'll that | have
no hesitation in recommending them for
the consideration Of all new comers sit
uated as [ was in those days, the owner
Of a small purse and of small family,
yet seeking the maximum of comfort in
my home life without waste of material
Or means AS a boy I had travelled a
good deal in New Mexico, Arizona and
California, and had visited among the
old blue-blooded Spanish families as
we'll as among the more humble natives,
people who had for centuries studied the
problem of comfort in a warm climate
Their ideal home is a long, low, one
story dwelling with a single row of
rooms one after the other, and a COW
cred porch on each side with doors and
windows galore opening upon it. By
this plan there is always and everywhere
a free circulation of air, the sun is
prevented from heating the walls, and
