Farmer telling how a debating society at Plainfeld had helped the community. The society met each Friday night during the school session, members in- cluding the'upDer-grade students teachers and the older people of the community. As our cores pendent said:
 Parents attend with their children at Plainfeld. In fact, the man who has succeeded in win ming the decision of the judges oftener than any other person has two sons almost grown, who debate with him or against him just as they happen to be placed on the program. "
 There are hundreds of com munities that would do well to follow Plainfeld's example. In fact. we can hardly emphasize too strongly the value of train ing in public speaking as a part of education. And especially does 1t deserve more attention in agricultural high schools and az ricultural work, he will find pub- lie speaking a necessity, and in whatever work he under akes. he will find it an advantage.
 There are probably ten times as many farmers meetings now as there were fifteen years ago, and farmers should not have to invite professional and business men to make most of the speech es on such occasions.
 Moreover, as we have more than once remarked, one reason why the farmer fails to get rec ognition from the government is because so few farmers ate well enough trained in public speak ing to make their influence prop, erIy felt in political conventions and before legislative commit tees. Let Us nor only encourage neighbor-nooi debaung socI4ues but demand that public schools, high schools, and agricultural colleges give more attention to this form of education. The Progressive Farmer.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.


Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is. without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1897 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, Ill, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
There is often found q condition, in
laying out the streets of a town or
city, which necessitates the formation
of several lots which are not of stand
ard depth. Such a condition might ex-
ist where two streets intersect at an
angle other than 80 degrees. In such
case lots are laid out On two sides
of the triangle as near to the apex as
they may be carried without cutting
down the depth to a value which will
hamper the sale of the lots. If the
angle of intersection of the streets is
small, there will be a rather large piece
of land which is usually not suitable
for residences. That the size of this
strip can be cut down by making the
lots wider near the apex may be real
lied by properly designing the houses
built on the shallow lots is q certainty
The shallow lots would be preferred

that the houses would look well n

houses in the block. If the division of
the property into lots is carried to the
apex of the triangle with lot on each
street as the final division, each of the
houses on these lots should be designed
in the manner of a house which is to
face on two streets. This division of
lots is often preferred to the division
which places a single lot at the apex,
on account of the fact that the last
house, in the latter case, is exposed on
three sides to public view, and Incl

Improvement of two streets and two
street sidewalks to contend with in
case these developments are brought
into effect.
The remaining small triangle which
cannot be used for residence purposes
is an excellent spot for the city or town
to take up and improve with shrubbery,
flower gardens and ornamental con-
crete or stone work. The Frightening
effect which these little beauty spots
have in towns and cities is attested to
by any number of examples of this
treatment throughout the country.
Because most city lots are deep and
narrow, it is unusual TO see house
| designed as city home which has its
longer dimension across the front
Aside from the few cases already men,
toned in which it is necessary to cut
lots of peculiar shape on account OF
streets intersecting at sharp angles, the
only place where a house with wide
front is likely to be used is on corner
lot which offers frontage on two
streets. Even if plenty of room is
available, the usual custom is to, build
house with its narrow side to the
front, even though such practice robs
the owner of space which might be

the best possible effect III the appear
ance of the houses built on the narrow
lots. OF course, it will be necessary
to design these houses with the larger
dimension across the front. This often
helps the room arrangement rather
than causing difficulty in grouping of
rooms. AS far as the exterior appear
ance is concerned, there is an ad-
vantage in the wider side of the houses
being placed near the street, in that
many pleasing effects are possible in
the window and porch design, and the
wall finish is more effective than in the
case of smaller wall surface. An
other advantage of this type of house
is found in the possibility of artistic
and distinctive roof treatment.
The building line should, of course,
be maintained in accordance with that
which is established by the majority of
