before passing through the riser to all parts of the
house and barn.
The corner of the laundry containing the pres
gauge lift pump and pressure tank con-
nected with the cistern Is shown in one OF the IL
Illustrations. The connection with the lift pump Is
cut off 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
stairway is the kitchen. On one side Of the land
ing of this stairway is the refrigerator and the
other side wood box. These are both filled from
the outside of the house. All of the floors on the
first floor hard maple, either waxed or oiled
and covered with rugs
The kitchen, shown in one 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 sink
in one corner, above which you see the hard water
faucet and the hot and cold soft water faucets
The table Is 58x3S inches and stands 33 inches
from the floor. The sink is 1884 inches. With
the help of a board which l can slide over the
sink, | can increase the size of my table. At the
end of the table Is large drawer for kitchen
spoons, knives, forks etc This has three
windows and door containing window There
are built-in cupboards and -four and bread bins,
all out of the way of dust The gas range in the
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
half inch and one inch pipe connected directly
with this tank The tank furnishes sufficient
heat for the kitchen and found the water hot
enough to attach radiator in the living room
thus adding much TO the comfort of the room and
saving OF the fuel bill.
The dining room opens from the kitchen and
also has openings into the living and par
lor. In this room you one of the homemade
fireplaces A form made on the floor of this
room and into 1t was poured the cement in which

MOST USEFUL AND
PRETTY THINGS IN
BRIGHT CRET0NNE

GO MANY things can be made OF
> cardboard and cretonne that il
seems their number is only limited by
the ingenuity of the mind. "A place
for everything, and everything in its
place." is the inspiration of many
cheerful furnishings which anyone can
make. These gayly colored and useful
trinkets of the bedroom help to keep
the belongings of its occupant in order
and easy to get at.
Here is a group of four pieces which
will be found useful as well as exceed
lngly pretty and easy to make.
There is little whisk broom holder
made Of one large and two small
heart-shaped pieces Of cardboard, Gov
cred with cretonne. Appropriate to the
shape, the flower pattern is a full
blown rose and foliage in one of the
blurred patterns The hearts are each
covered separately, the two smaller
ones sewed along one side to the larger
and Joined together with a little bow
of pink ribbon at the front This forms
a holder for a small broad whisk
broom 1t is suspended by a hanger
of the ribbon.
This is a pretty gift for a man, and
an appropriate little token for the en-
gagged girl or the wife to give to her
beloved.
Another gift for either a man or
woman is the tie rack. Nothing could
be simpler to make. A shaped piece
of thin pine board is used for this, and
the cretonne is stretched over and
pasted to it, covering the front and
back.
A small brass rod and little brackets
furnish a support for ties. A hanger of
wash ribbon in pink silk is fastened in
rings at the back. This rack is pretty
and calculated to inspire gratitude in
the possessor. Hung beside the dress
ing case, it is no trouble to hang ties
over it instead of mixing them with
a few other things in the dresser
drawer.
For a lady's room there is a work
box made over heavy cardboard foun-
dalton with cretonne pasted on. Mar
row straps, made of folded strips Of
cretonne, tackled down at intervals Of
an inch or SO, provide places for
needles, thread, hooks and eyes, col
lar supports, ETC., not to mention the
always needed darning cotton. The lid
is hinged to the box with a strip Of

in that immediate locality, but name that will
mean something to future generations We have
named our farm THE Manx," in honor of my ia
Their. who was born the Isle of Man
The house a whole is shown in one of the
illustrations. The stones for the porch which is
teen feet wide and fifty feet around the outer wall
were taken from the pasture. The floor of the
porch is cement and slopes towards either corner.
where drains located | wish to call your at
tention to the number and height of the windows
of the house, which provide health giving air and
light The chimney is built in the center of the
house from the cellar bottom 1t contains three
independent flues from the basement to the top
one for the furnace and enc each for the two fire
places. The cesspoo is situated in the lot just
beyond the maple tree. The windmill, which
pumps the water and air for the large pressure
tank in the basement, Is located at the corner of
the barn. self-regulating device is attached to
the mill so that when the pressure in the tank
reaches sixty pounds 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
until we draw water enough to reduce the pres
sure in the tank, when the mill is again thrown
in gear. thirty barrel galvanized tank is located
in the hay NOW Of the barn into which is con-
Quoted the soft water from the caves of the barn.
The water from this tank is conveyed to the
house through one and half inch pipe and
furnishes sufficient water for the summer months,
During the winter months the soft water is OBJ
tanned from a large cistern, the connection with
which 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
is 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 that there
are 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 hues of the chimney so as to carry off all
foul doors.
In lie basement is also gasoline gas machine
which furnishes the gas for lighting the house
and barn and for the cooking of all our meals.
The carburetor which will hold two barrels of
gasoline, is buried in the ground outside of the
house. The shell holds about eight hundred
pounds of sand and by its weight unwinds fan
or pump which drives the air out to the car

COME Of the new coiffures go to ex-
- tremes in the matter of height, but
here is one that is conservative and
very attractive. 1t shows several items
that go to make up the new styles.
There Is the loose wave of the hair,
the fringe across the forehead and the
hint of ringlets at the sides. There
is glimpse of the ear and the quaint
and "old-timy" jet earring which
makes the skin look so dazzlingly
white when the wearer is passably
fair.
1t is noticeable that the hair is
coiled very loosely at the back, after
all of it has been waved It falls to the
nape of the neck. This feature is es-
sential in order that our millinery may
be becoming. No matter whether the
hair is worn moderately or extremely
high, it is not to be drawn up or back
tightly at any place.
The hair across the middle of the
forehead is trimmed and curled under.
At the sides the loose ends are curled
into soft light ringlets (inconspicuous,
but well cared for), while the mass Of
the hair is combed back and the ends
twisted into a soft fiat coil. This Is
pinned fiat to the head, and plain shell
pins are best liked for this purpose.
Speaking of pins-wire hair pins must
not be in evidence, no matter how
prodigal the hairdresser finds 1t nee
essary to be in using them. They are
to be concealed, invisible and rein
forced by plain shell pins either large
OF small in size.
For heavy masses of hair, or what
appears to be great abundance, the
larger pins are appropriate. They are
not jeweled and are often black En-

three kinds of water in the faucets over the Law
atory. Opening into the same hall into which the
bathroom opens Is the den library, from which
room there Is an outside door opening onto an
upper porch for airing bedding and shaking rugs
There is long hall connecting these rooms with
the front hail. into which the bedrooms open and
which also leads to the front stairway and to the
reception hall below.
These, briefly enumerated, are the mechanical
devices about which pages might be written in
describing the convenences they make possible
to say nothing of the sanitation. l know those
who are employed in the kitchen noticed the 10
cation of the table in the center of the room and
its proximity to the gas range and builtin cup
boards. 1t is also sanitary as there are no open
ings and corners between sink and adjoining
walls for the accumulation of dust Woodwork
and walls, being in white enamel, easily kept
clean. Having all kinds and plenty of water d.
rectly above the sink does away with lifting and
carrying of water pals and garbage cans. The
gas light directly above the table makes 1t i'm
possible to get into your own shadow The gas
range needs but the lighted match and the
drudgery of carrying in wood, lighting and keep:
ing up the fire, and carrying out the ashes Is done
away with. l shall here answer question know
will arise, and that is the cost of fuel and light
with this system. Our bill from July 8, 1911, to
July g. 1912, fifty-two dollars, or one dollar
week for all cooking baking, and lighting Of the
spent in getting up wood for the kitchen stove or
the cost of coal, will those who live In the city
compare these figures with their gas and electric
light bills.
The bathroom has appealed to more rural vlsi
tors at our home than has any other room in the
house. Those of you who have come in from the
hay field on hot summer day have come from
dusty dirty threshing job, would know how to
appreciate this room. Here you have hot or cold
water as you wish, soft or hard water to meet
your fancy.
The laundry is equipped with movable tubs and
hot water is to be had at all times when the fur
mace is being used. When the furnace is not in
use fire in the laundry stove supplies us with
good hot water. There the washing is away from
the living rooms, and the steam is drawn up the
flues of the main chimney, which does away with
steam all over the house. The sink in the laundry
is connected with the sewer pipes leading to the
cesspool, thus carrying off all waste water from
the laundry.S The last, and l suppose most i'm

these conveniences:

One cannot pick up farm paper without reading
an account of a corn-growing contest, fatstock
show, poultry show, and noting the prizes offered
for the best results obtained All of these tend to
stimulate the boys and girls to become more inter-
ested in the farms and not to be satisfied with any
thing but the best. These contests are commend
able and are serving to educate boys and girls
by placing before them tangible standards they may
seek to secure This education them to be

result is progress. The boy the result of the

Small country's Success in AgTcul-
ture Shows the Great Possibilities
for This Country.

Denmark is little country. II
contains only 1888 square miles and
about 100000 people. 1t lies be
tween the parallels OF So and 81 de
grees north latitude, or on a par
allel with northern Labrador, south
ern Alaska, and the middle Of fIud-
sons bay Yet this tiny kingdom in
1913 exported $170,44S,00O worth Of
merchandise, of which about $4,000
consisted of farm products.
Denmark has achieved this position
in the trade world partly because of
the most practical system Of education
the world can show, partly as result
of superb and all-peryading co-opera~
ton, partly by sheer thrift, honesty
and industry. 1t is probable that the
natural resources Of the little nation
are not quarter as great as those Of
the state of Michigan. How large a
population could our country support
If Danish standards Of agriculture
