L is done at less cost The reason
3hpt'mor homes are NOT provided with
such, oonyenienees is that the farmers
have grown. used TO doing without
them. They. look forward to retiring
and moving to town, where they can
have all the modern cohveniencesg
When they get there they uwill. pay
dearly for them in the form of house
rent. To have them in the country
means a direct cash outlay, and too

phe first consideration in most parts
pa the country is the heating system.

system of this, kind all the coal and
dust INCIDENT to building and keeping
up the fire are il the cellar. The Whole
house can be heated for about what
it costs to beat two or. three rooms

open the draft, and in half an hour
or so the house is warm The kitchen
also can be heated from the cellar, and
an oil stove can be used for cooking.

The next reconsideration is the water
system. "A good water supply under
pressure Is not only a convenience, but
also a form of insurance, since each
farm must furnish its own fire prog
lection. Some farm buildings, are
built now of concrete and hollow tiles
but even then there is always some
danger of fire. An elevated tank is
one Of the best means of supplying

For power to pump the water a wind
