One of the survat ways of aivowplUu- Iiir this end a by making the home surround I ii ir attraitlve. There Is no place on earth where It Is easier to hove an attractive home tlmu on the farm. Yet In fplte of this too many f.-inu homes are locuteil In the mlildlo of a wied patrb that goes by the name of gurdi-n or lire hlilden 'tohlmt am-'j & Ihlok Jtincie of trees that It Is IhimvIIih to nee 111 or out. The first thlug to connlder Is the houxe Itself. It should be situated ou the hlKhest part of the hill on wbleli the farm bulldltiKS stand. A liuue ueed not be exinslve to be homelike and convenient. Indeed, the most ex pensive houses are often the least homelike. The stsrtlng point u the cellar. With but little additional expense this can be maue uie run size or tue bouse. In this case the fouudatlou walls should extend to the bottom of PIO. Him-FARM HOUR BARK AXD DRSO LAI B ritOU LACK OP TRICES, BHUCBS ANU tiAWM. the cellar. The first course should be of hollow brick, laid end to eud, aud connecting with a tile drain on the lowest side. In this way seepage water will be kept out of the cellar. A cement floor is a great advantage aud is inexpensive, since the cement need not be more than two or three iuches thick. The cellar should be divided into about four rooms. Hollow brlrk make good partition walls nud at the same time help support the floor. One of the rooms may be used for vegetables, one lor rrult, mi m aim uuuer, one for a laundry und the fourth ce mented on the Inside and used as a cistern. If the furnace Is used an other room will be necessary, or the cistern can be located outside. For an ordinary sized family a hun dred barrel cistern Is about the right size. A partition of a double layer of filter brick, with gravel and charcoal packed between, should extend across It. The water Is drawn out from the opposite side of the filter from that to which the pipe from the, roof empties. In this way the water obtained is pure enough for cooking or drinking. A plentiful supply of soft water Is a luxury that cau be obtained so cheaply that no one can afford to do without It. Wood Is still the cheapest and most satisfactory building material. In building the house the two extremes of size should be avoided. If the house is too small It will be crowded, while If too large it costs more and is harder to keep clean. In arranging the rooms, convenience and ease of keeping in order are the chief considerations. The large and solomn "spare room," which was opened only on state occasions, has largely given way to the bright, cheer ful living room with its bookcases and work and reading tables, which is used every day and evening in the year. This room, together with the dining room, kitchen and bedroom, with a wash and bath room if possi ble, will comprise the first story. A wash room, with a sink and a place for overshoes, coats and hats, is a great help In keeping dirt out of the kitchen. A bathroom is also a great convenience. A cupboard in the wall between the kitchen and dining room is handy, as the dishes can be reached from either side. A spring door between the two rooms keeps out the files and at the same time opens easily. A bedroom on the ground floor is almost a ne cessity, especially in the case of sick ness. The upstairs will of course bo largely devoted to bedrooms, although it is often convenient to have one small room fixed up for a library. The attic makes a good storeroom for seed corn. Probably the most satisfactory way to heat the house Is by a furnace. This Is cheaper and cleaner than stoves. If the furnace room Is made large enough to hold a load of cobs and several tons of coal the work of fire building will be greatly reduced. A register In the hall upstairs will be enough to take the chili off the sleeping rooms. It is a good plan to have a furnace pipe run to the kitchen, too, and use a gasoline or kerosene range for cooking. This is cheaper, handier and cleaner than a cook store, and tbe kitchen can be kept much cooler In tbe summer time. tern water cannot be nel. On the whole, tha most satlufnrtory I'lxn I 1(1 Uva a small fftlvaoutod tank In the ttl A little coverlnu In the coldest weather will keep It from freexluif. ami a few minutes work with the ilstcrn pump eai'h day will keep It filled. fly having n healer attached to the furnace or to the kitchen Htove and ui.iklng the ptvper connections hot and fold water cm ti Im Fuppllcd to the bath room, the wash rMm und anywhera eli that It 1 wsnted. The laundry room downstair la tbe place where the convenience of such a system will be appreciated most. In this room the washing tmichlne, tubs, wringer and other uteiiHlla can be kept. An opening In tha floor 'con utftitl with the tile drain will carry off the wnxte wnter, and hot and cold water from upstairs will le always on tap. Such a room, together with toe entire water system, can be fitted up for 1cm than $KH. I Another convenience that can be In ' dialled at small cost Is a sewerage sys I tern. This can be connected with the Utlitnb and sink, and with a small ! additional expense another luxury that I la seldom found on the farm, an In j door closet, can be added. lraln ; pipe well cemented at the Joints ' should be used lo constructing tha sewer. The cheapest form of outlet ll the "septic tank." This la a iiunl! underground tank divided Into four comimrtmenta, so arranged that when tbe first of these becomes full It will overflow Into the second, and so on. The tank should be covered and pro vided with a ventilator. The action of bacteria in the septic tank will de stroy all tbe solid matter, so that the water which flows out the lower end will be clear and have no objection able odor. With an occasional clean ing out such a tank will last forever. The house should be provided with plenty of porches. These increase the exiense somewhat, but also add much to the comfort and appearance of the house. Vines trained up over them to keep out the sun and screens to keep out tbe files make them still more comfortable. Nothing adds moro to the external appearance of the house than a neat lawn of ample size. Io not make It FTO. XX"rtV A CORNIER OP A KBATLT AR RANGED LAWN. too large, however, or the work of mowing will be likely to be neglected. A lawn is not hard to make. A little work leveling and preparing a flue seed bed und a liberal application of blue grass seed that will grow will almost certainly result in a good lawn. Do not make the common mistake of platting trees too close to the house. They detract from the appearance and make the house close and stuffy. The opposite extreme should be avoided also. A few trees about the edges of the lawn furnish grateful shade and provide a flanking for the picture of which the house is the central figure. The decorative value of shrubs Is of ten not appreciated as much as It should be. A climbing rosebush over the porch or a few dwarf varieties In out of the way corners will add to tho color and beauty of the yard. There are many other flowering shrubs, such us snowballs, syrlngias and lilacs, that can be used to fill in empty spaces and corners. A row or two of hard maples or elms along the driveway, with a thick ever green windbreak to the north, will fin ish the supply of necessary trees un less there are corners or bare spaces about the yards that will be better for a tree or two.
