Use of Short Lumber
Would Cut House Cost


Through their failure to buy short
lengths Of lumber for the construction
Of small houses, many builders are los
ing money, both in the waste Of ma
terials and loss Of time by carpenters,
according to report issued by the
Department Of Commerce.
These builders, who constantly buy
the regular lengths for the construc-
ton Of the house, lose money because
their carpenters must spend time in
cutting the lumber into smaller lengths,
and that which is left over goes to
waste because the builder has no new
operation on which to use it.
Such plan, it can easily be seen, is
not only expensive to the builder, but
must necessarily be saddled onto the
prospective purchaser Of the house, the
report says.
A survey Of the construction uses Of
short lengths Of lumber was made by
the Department of Commerce and the
Central Committee on Lumber Stand
ards to determine the practicability Of
buying short lengths Of softwood yard
lumber for use in the building of small
and medium-size houses of lumber con-
struction.
The study shows that in 20 houses,
taking 46,842 pieces of lumber, nearly
33 per cent of the lumber used was
under 8 feet in length. Nearly II per
cent was Of lumber from to feet,
while more than Sc per cent was more
than 8 feet In length. That is to say,
one-third Of all the lumber delivered
to the operation in long lengths was
cut into lengths of less than feet
during the process Of construction,
while an additional II per cent was cut
into to foot-lengths.
Four districts were selected in which
this survey was conducted-Washing-
ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas
City. The houses in the Philadelphia
district were at South Ardmore, Pa,
and Haddonield, N. J., while the
houses in Kansas City and Washington
districts were within the city limits.
In the Chicago district they were 10
Gated at Hammond and Gary, Ind.
The survey showed that in the East
ern district the lumber house was vir-
tually of one size, consisting Of six
rooms and bath, and that when a larg-
er or more pretentious house was de-
sired, brick, stone, stucco or tile was
used. The largest lumber houses were
found in Kansas City.
Data and charts prepared by the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers asSoci-
alton and presented at the May l, 1925,
lumber conference, show that So per
cent, or about 1,35O,OO,OOO feet Of the
total softwood yard lumber produced,
is under feet, and that SIS per cent,
Of 6SOOOO,OOO feet, Is from to 9
feet.
The lengths less than feet can be
purchased at an average reduction of
about Sc per thousand feet for COM
mon lumber and about $12.5O for Sc
lect lumber, these prices being f. O. b.
mill. It can be seen, therefore, that
the purchase Of short lengths of lum-
Der would result In national economy
through closer lumber utilization az
we'll as saving in price.

three corn cribs occupy the entire
space. At the other side there are two
corn cribs, of little larger size and
between is the stairway and the
elevator space. The stairway leads up
to the grain bins which are located
above the cribs.
The poultry house is of the saw
tooth-roof type and MEASURES 20 feet
by % feet. 1t is large enough to house
more than 100 chicks. There is an en-
trance at the front, at each end, which
gives access through a passage to
four separate rooms in which are pro-
vided roosts and nests. These are
shut off from each other by doors. At
the back, each Of these rooms opens
into n separate scratch floor which In
turn opens onto an outside runway.
The openings onto the runways are
closed when desired by means Of can
vas curtains.

while between is the corn crib and
granary serving both with equal
facility.
These three buildings are Of similar
construction all being frame construc-
ton with shingled roofs, and in addi-
ton to their practical utility they are
built In the same style, which adds an
air Of neatness and efficiency to the
whole group. This is an item not to
be overlooked. 1t has a real value in
creating the same sort of an air in the
morale of farm employees. There is

himself, but that will work harder and
better in an atmosphere Of neatness

The hog house is of the gable-roof
type and contains II narrowing pens,
six along each side of the building,
which are separated by feed alley.
The feed alley has concrete floor and

with planks. This building is 46 feet
long and "a feet wide and there is q
