good water supply and 90 desirable
ity of outlook.
The construction of good roads to
and from towns is important for both
business and pleasure If possible,
the house should be located near good
trees whose shade may be enjoyed in
summer and the elevation of the
house should be such that thorough
drainage is possible. The rooms used
most, kitchen and living room, should
have the best view from their win
dows. An unbroken lawn with a hill
or lake in the background is very
pleasing but, lacking these, an at
tractive group of shrubs is very inter-
esting.
Furthermore the house should be
built for convenience. The interior
should be adapted to the everyday
| life of the family. The kitchen, in
which the wife spends much of her
time, should have a full view of the
other buildings and, if possible, of
the highway. The stairway should
who use it most
Ordinarily, the first and second
| floor plans are fully determined with
out giving serious thought to the base
ment. This part of the house, serv-
ing as furnace room, laundry, shower
room, and fruit storage room, should
be we'll lighted and ventilated. White
washing also helps to do away with
muStineSS.
From the viewpoint of the designer
the farmhouse problem is a special
problem. We want a good appear
ance outside and inside, stability in
foundation and structure protection
from fire and lighting, and durability
and economy in maintenance. SAM
tatiOn and health are fundamental;
we want a house easily kept clean,
we'll built to keep out rats and YER
min, and adapted to convenience in
housekeeping and installation of labor
saving devices. Finally the home
owner must keep an eye on his pock-
etbook. Economy in first cost and in
operation later on is essential He
may be able to use hewn timbers or
posts from his own woods, stones from
his fields and sand and gravel from
his own pits.
The larger the house the more land
must be set aside for it. Farm build
ings should be as few as are practic-
able for number of small buildings
gives cluttered up appearance.
OF course, we must give time and
serious consideration to the lawn,
trees, shrubs, and flowers for what is
more pleasing to the eye than beau
tiful lawns and gardens? Nothing
contributes so much to the appear
ance of a house as appropriate plant
ings around its foundations. A house
rising directly from the bare ground
is usually uninviting and unattractive
but if an old lilac bush has run wild
at one corner and blackberry tangle
clothes another corner the house be-
gins to look as if it were at home
there.
The planning of a farmstead in
wolves much careful planning and
considerable cost, but money wisely
spent on farm home earns a re-
turn that cannot be measured in cash.
For after all, the sense of pride in
the ownership of an attractive abode,
the physical well-being of those en-
joying a healthy, wholesome, and
happy home life, and the effect of
pleasant surroundings on the content
ment and loyalty of those concerned
in the maintenance of the home will
constitute reurn which has ire
mendOus value to the hOmemaker.
