“Better homes on the farms" is an
excellent slogan that Is gaining tre-
mendous Impetus throughout the coun-
try. The old-time, long-accepted Idea
that the farm home was merely a roof
and four walls is losing a foothold
because of the development of the
building enterprise and Individual am-
bition. The housewife has become
acquainted with the beauties and con-
veniences of the city home and she in-
sists that her nest shall be Just as
modern as any. Moreover she has be-
come tired of the back-breaking
drudgery that kept her tied to the
limits of the house and made her work-
ing day one long, endless, monotonous
grind.
The effect is apparent in all sec-
tions of the country. The farm home
is no longer subordinated to the dairy
barn, the Implement shed or the poul-
try house. Today it is first in the
mind of the farmer, certainly first in
the eyes of his wife and of tremend-
ous importance to the children. Un-
less home surroundings are made at-
tractive they will leave the farm for
the cities where attractions abound.
As a result the farm home is as at-
tractive, convenient and modem as
most houses in cities. Electric light,
running water, bathrooms and laun-
dries are no longer something to be
dreamed about; they are actual real-
ities in the farm home.
That this is true is borne out by the
picture and floor plans of the farm
home shown here. This house could
very easily grace the streets of a high-
mines does not have sufficient vahie to
pay the cost of production." He d*
scribed the gold Industry In the Black
hills as being “in a state of dlalnte-
gration."

When a man Is building a house,
which In most cases he does only ouce
In a lifetime, he Is Inclined to con-
sider all angles very carefully. And
to the average fanner there Is no
Strenger appeal than economy. With
no (urge sum of money to expend on
a home he wants to get as beautiful
a dwelling as possible at the lowest
possible cost. This type of home is
designed for that purpose. Because
of Its square lines which eliminate
any special orders for material. It is
one of the most economical types of
hoqie that can be built. As Is the
general rule In homes of this type, the
roof is hipped.

porch Is particularly Inviting. The
wide tapering bulkheads and pillars

There are four bedrooms and bath-
room on the second floor. The two
front rooms are 13 by 13 feet 6 Inches;
the others are 13 by 12 feet 6 Inches
and 13 feet 6 inches by 12 feet fl
inches. Running water for the bath-
room and kitchen Is provided by a
water supply system and electric light
is furnished by an electric lighting
plant.
While giving an impression of big-
ness this home is only 32 by 34 feet.
A roof dormer in the front of the
house provides light for the attic
which can be converted into extra
sleeping rooms if needed. A few
slabs of wallboard and a few hours’
work will give extra living room space
at small cost.
The house Is frame construction
with a foundation of concrete. Many
farms now boast of homes as attract
rive or even more so than this one.
