will az q part Of its campaign publish
from time to time plans for model
farm homes to be built with the great
est economy. 1t will be the purpose
Of the draughtsmen OF these plans not
only to reduce as far as possible the
annual waste In the first cost OF farm
homes but, what Is even moro important.
to bring the farm residences Of the
country abreast Of the times and en-
able the farmer to be better fitted for
his labors and his family to DO capable
Of a fuller enjoyment Of life through
the attainment OF higher and less
arduous living scale In their homes.
The first Of these plans has been COM
pleted by the farm architect and soon
will be distributed over the country

culated among the farmers by the De-
partment OF Agriculture. It IL for q
tenant house, the Improvement Of the
type Of which the Department experts
regard as the most important phase
of the problem with which they have
to deal. because OF the fact that in the
last ten years $4,000 farms have been
rented to tenants, many Of whom, 1t n
declared. have been forced to live In
dwellings wholly unsuited to their needs

tant we'll as In former years and to per-
form the other household drudgery
which ought to have been eliminated
along with that which her husband has
escaped. The wife and perhaps a
daughter have now in the majority Of
farm homes the burden Of all work. and
when the wife Is mother. nurse and
cook and shares with her husband the
cares Of the farm she is enslaved to
farmhouse conditions which she cannot
long endure. These conditions must be
mitigated II the exodus from the farm
Is to be checked.
Happiness and contentment in the
farmers family are as essential to eff
cient service as improved tools and out
buildings. These are dependent in large
degree upon the structure and santa
ton Of the house itself. Pleasant and
comfortable homes tend to hold families
| together. but the cheerless, ENJOYABLE
and unsanitary houses drive boys and
girls to the cities. Investigation of
prisons, insane asylums and houses Of
correction seem to prove the fact. that
the sins which account for the exist
ence Of these institutions often are bred
In inadequate and unhappy farm
homes"
Mr.. Eeherton has prepared the follow
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-02-22

The model tenant house which has
been designed will cost no more. the
farm architect believes, than one Of the
numerous types which have been built
unscientihcally and without regard for
wholesomeness and convenience in the
last ten years. 1t simply aims at the
conservation Of the health and strength
Of the tenant and his wife through
making the best possible use Of the small
amount Of money available for con.
structing the average tenant house.
Other plans for more pretentious
types Of farmhouses are to be published
by the Department Of Agriculture later.
Meanwhile data are being collected by
the Office Of farm management to de-
termine the ratio between the cost OF
the farmhouse and the income Of the
farm. Omcials believe that the result
OF this investigation will constitute a
forceful argument in favor Of the i'm.
proved farmhouse as a paying invest
ment. The results have not been formu-
lated In detail yet. but a sufficient de-
termination has been reached to es.
tablish that relationship exists between
the two.

This problem il now OF greater i'm
pOrtance than ever before because of its
long neglect and its complex relations
to modern social, civic and ethical con-
ditions. The house has failed to share as
It should in the improvement Of the
farm.
Agriculture has, been revolutionized
since Colonial days and country life has
sreatly changed. but many Of the farm
houses planned and built more than a
hundred years ago, when house servants
were plentiful. are still in use. They
fail utterly to minister to the needs Of

1.-THE inheritance OF out Of date
buildings accounts for much Of the dis
| satisfaction with present day farm
| houses, but not for that with the wholly
new ones. The farmhouses built In our
own generation also have failed to
maintain the standard Of the general
Improvement Of the American farm.
