house and barn.

sure gauge lift pump, and pressure tank con-
nected with the cistern. is shown In one OF the II
Illustrations. The connection with the lift pump is
cut of In the summer months as we have had
plenty Of soft water from the tank In the barn.
BY means Of this lift pump and pressure tank the
pressure in the soft water pipes Is the same as
that in the hard water pipes and does away with
waiting for the lift pump to work.
Directly above the laundry and connected by a
stairway is the kitchen. On one side of the land
ing Of this stairway is the refrigerator and the
other side a wood box These are both filled from
the outside of the house. All of the floors on the
first floor are hard maple. either waxed oiled.
and covered with rugs.
The kitchen, shown in OF the illustrations,
Is painted in white enamel and the walls COW
cred with white oil cloth paper In tile design. In
this kitchen is large center table with a sink
in one corner, above which you see the hard water
faucet and the hot and cold soft water faucets.
The table is 5Sx3S inches and stands 80 inches
from the floor. The sink Is 1Sx34 inches With
the help of a board which ! can slide over the
SINK / can increase the size Of my table. At the
end Of the table Is q large drawer for kitchen
spoons. knives. forks etc. This room has three
windows and a door containing a window. There
builtin cupboards and flour and bread bins
corner Of the room is like any city gas range and
furnishes sufficient heat for the serving of twenty
or thirty people. The hot water tank shown in
the picture Is heated during the winter months
by the furnace which has a coil Of and one
half inch and one inch pipe connected directly
with this tank The tank furnishes sufficient
heat for the kitchen. and We found the water hot
enough to attach a radiator in the living room
thus adding much to the comfort Of the room and
saving on the fuel bill.
The dining room opens from the kitchen and
also has openings into the living room and par
lor. In this room you see one Of the homem
freplaces A form was made on the floor Of this
room and into 1t was poured the cement in which
was imbedded woven wire for reinforcement In
the cement the chips, taken from the stones In
building the front porch, were stuck. This was
allowed to dry for five days; after which it was
placed in position as you see it. There is another
fireplace similar to this and directly back of it In

In a corner Of the dining room is a builtin china

mean something to future generations. We have
named our farm The Manx," in honor Of my IA

beyond the maple tree. The windmill, which
pumps, the water and air for the large pressure
tank In the basement, IL located at the corner Of
the barn. A self-regulating device Is attached to
the mill 30 that when the pressure In the tank
reaches sixty pounds q lever is forced upwards
and starts to throw the mill out OF gear by the
time the pressure has been increased to eighty
pounds the mill is entirely out of gear and remains

The water from this tank is conveyed to the

During the winter months the soft water is OBJ
tanned from q large cistern the connection with
which I shall explain later. There are cement
walks leading from the front and side porches to
the driveway and also to the barn.
Another illustration is that of the basement
showing the large pressure tank which receives
the water from the windmill. The supply pipe
10 tapped near the barn and supplies water In the
barn. The pressure tank supplies water for the
basement, kitchen, and bathroom on the second
floor. besides furnishing power to run the lift
pump and supplying water for lawn and garden.
The hot air pipes Of the furnace open directly
into the shafts above the furnace so that there
are no side pipes excepting the one running to the
kitchen. The vegetable callar open directly from
the furnace room and has opening into one Of
the iues Of the chimney as to carry OF all

In the basement Is also gasoline gas machine
