DESIGN OF BUNGALOW TYPE
Exceptionally Attractive Home, With
Garage Of Same Style-lnterior
Arrangement Will Challenge
Attention Of Housekeeper.

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

In the era of home building that is
here there will be, more than ever,
much individuality shown In the de-
sign accepted, because those who are
building homes now have the adj
vantage of many different styles of
architecture and home designs that
have proven best through use. The
home builder usually builds but once
in lifetime and when he builds he
erects the type Of home that meets
his needs, suits his ideas of exterior
appearance and is arranged to his
taste.
Accompanying this article is shown
the exterior view and floor plan of an
exceptionally attractive brick house,
with garage of the same style of
architecture. This house will appeal
Immediately to the automobile owner,
while the interior arrangement will
challenge the attention of every house
keeper.
There are thousands of home build
ers to whom brick houses have an es-
pecial appeal. Brick is the oldest of
building materials, having been used,
in some form or other, thousands of
years before civilization began. This
may be the reason for the preference,
but there is no denying that brick
homes are attractive and have very
substantial air.
The design shown herewith is Of the
bungalow type of story and half
house. The exterior wall in the gables

Is by II feet, by q colonnade, which
extends nearly across the side of the
room, making them practically one large
room. Back of the dining room Is the
kitchen, 13 by 10 feet, the side en-
trance near the garage and the base
ment stairway. On the other side are
two bedrooms, IL feet g inches by Ii
feet, with the bathroom between. A
hall leading off the dining room con-
meets the two bedrooms and bath. Out
of this same hall are the stairs leading
to the three rooms of the second floor
Upstairs are two large bedrooms and
sewing room. The bedroom to the
right of the building is 10 feet inches
by IL feet, and the one to the left is
IL by IL feet. The sewing room is in
the rear gable, Is feet by 8 feet. All
three rooms and toilet open off n
center hall.
There are numerous little features
Of this house that will please the
housekeeper. 1t will be noted that
there is an abundance Of closets-four
downstairs and three upstairs. 1t also

The cost of building now is higher
than 1t was before the war. This Is
because the cost Of producing the
materials and of the labor that goes
into the building is higher. But the
percentage of increase In the cost of
building is nowhere near that of 9TH
err necessities. Prices of materials
have been stabilized for the year
there Is the positive assurance that
they will not be higher, neither will
they be lower. And every indication
is that they will go higher in 1920.
Thus does the prospective home build
err have the assurance that 1t Will cost
no more to build now than year or a
few years from now, while by building
at once he will have the use of his
home and will save just that much
rent.
Owning q home and living in IT.,
however, has many advantages over
renting. When q home is paid for 1t
Is great asset in a financial way.
The family that lives in their own
home have many advantages In a So
cial way. And there is the satisfac-
ton of having a home planned as you
want 1t and of the size you want; dec
Grated to suit your taste-in fact, a
home Of your own.

USE LABOR-SAvING METHODS
Expensive Equipment Rarely Pay.
Even on Large Poultry Farms
Some Practical Devices.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Labor-saving methods can be uti-
lied to better advantage on CONNER
cial poultry farms by careful planning
of the arrangement of the buildings
and by installing simple labOr-saving
devices. An expensive labor-saving
equipment rarely pays even on large
poultry farms.
Some of the practical devices are
large dry-mash hoppers in which all
the mash is fed, the piping of water
to be convenient to each house, and
in a long house the installing of q
simple trolley system to carry the feed
and to be utilized in cleaning the
house. If several houses are used they
should be arranged to save steps. Suf-
to keep the ground in good condition.
1t is serious mistake to allow only
a very small amount of yard space and
thereby overstock the land and pro-
duce soil contamination.
A practical and comparatively mex
pensive equipment consists of one or
more long houses containing from 500
to 1000 hens arranged with double
yards and kept only for the produc-
ton of market eggs. The yards should
be from 100 to 80 feet deep and
should be plowed and sowed frequent
ly to quick-growing crops to keep the
land fresh. Such house can be fitted
with two large yards, one on each side,
which reduces the expenses of parti-
tons in the yards and also greatly ia
cilitates labor and cultivating the

On commercial poultry farms care

features that will make the work Of
caring for the home more easy. There

while the workable, shelves and pantry

In considering the erection of a
home this year the prospective builder
will closely study many home designs.
What will suit one will not suit anoth-

rather large modern brick house of
extraordinary architectural beauty this
design will be suited.

could easily detect a faint glow Of
light in the south. The true dark
