in hot weather. A large screened dining
porch on the side opens from the kitchen
and the living room. Its spacious size,
II by "a feet, make it a most convenient
place for serving meals in summer and dur
ing the harvest season.
The upstairs has been equally well de-
signed. There are two large bedrooms,
one of them being IS feet square with a
small fireplace and two large closets. Both
bedrooms have windows on two sides. The
bathroom and a convenient sewing room
lie at the head of the stairs, while at the
corner of the house there is sleeping porch
or balcony.
There is a basement under the entire
house, provided with a concrete floor and
walls which insure dryness and protection
against rats and vermin. This makes it
especially adaptable for storage of food
supplies The plans call for the construc-
ton of this house with concrete block and

stucco. This form of construction, with
an asbestos or cement single roof and the
use of metal lath over plastered ceilings, as
sures high degree of fire resistance and
largely offsets the absence of fire protection
in rural sections. The use of steel sash
basement windows, a late invention in the
building field is also recommended.
These windows come directly from the
factory with hinges and locks riveted on,
and are less expensive than wood. Such
windows will not warp, stick or rot and
give fifty per cent more daylight than the
older types.
This house is suitable for almost any sec
ton of the country. The concrete block
walls assure a cool house in a warm climate
and an easily heated house in cold climates.
The builder will, however, find it to his
best interests, if he employs an architect
to supervise construction and adapt the
building to local conditions.

A Prize Winning Home for the Farm

THE planning of city homes has al
ways received the close attention of
l. architects but it is only within the
last few years that they have been develop
ing house plans essentially for the farm and
arranged to fill the particular needs of the
farmer. The good farm home must meet
certain requirements that are not called for
IN city dwellings and in the accompanying
plans these items have been carefully con-
silered. These plans were awarded first
prize in a contest recently held by the Hi
nois State Board of Agriculture and the
Illinois Chapter of the American Institute
of Architects.
Tn designing this house the architect has
kept in mind that it is to be essentially a
home, and the main feature is large living
and dining room that extends entirely across
the mouse, with fireplace in the center
Experiments have shown that centrally
located freplaCes effect a saving of II per
cent in fuel, as none of the heat is lost
through the walls. The main room is 20
by IS feet and provides an excellent social
center with ample space for the family,
the extra farm help and visitors.
The front of the house contains a bed
room and the library or farm office on
either side of small hall which leads
from the front entry. The back of the
house is divided between a mems room
and the kitchen, with a convenient wash
room between with toilet facilities Near
by are several roomy closets, a clothes
chute, the stairways and a separate en-
trance from the rear porch. The kitchen is
well arranged with plenty of shelf space
and small screened porch where the farm
wife can do much of the kitchen work

the late war. Through the influence
Of James G.. Blaine and President Lin
coin the new arm which did so much
to crush the Confederacy was adopted.
Mr.. Spencer's account of the test is
a true contribution to both biography
and history. He says:
"On the way the president stopped
in front of the war department and
sent Robert to ask Mr.. Stanton, secre-
tary of war to come with us. While
we were waiting, Mr.. Lincoln told us
some good stories, and noticing that
one of the pockets of his black alpaca
coat was torn, he took a pin from his
waistcoat and proceeded to mend it,
saying laughingly, 1T seems to me that
this does not look quite right for the
chief magistrate of this mighty repub-
lic'
The target was a board about six
inches wide and three feet long, with
black spot painted at each end. The
rifle contained six .50-caliber, rim-fire,
copper cartridges. Mr.. Lincoln's first
shot was to the left and five inches
| low, but the next shot hit the bullseye
and the next four We're placed close
around it.
Now said Mr.. Lincoln, we will

was reversed and I did somewhat bet
ter than the president. Well, he said,
