MUCH WOMAN-POWER W Other Portions of Home Shown in This Design Have Been Planned for Convenience and Economy. By W. A. RADFORD, !n.thll age of conservation one of the most appalling wastes is the waste especlally housework in the ~farm home. In the shop and factory, €Xs perts are constantly on the watch for any unnecessary waste,of effort, to see that human power is net used for anything that mechanical power, which is cheaper, could do. The aver- age farm home is run entirely by wom- an-power, the most costly kind of pow- er to be found anywhere, while a lit- tle planning and not a great deal of money could put in & new:equipment or rearrange the oid to relleve an end- less amount of weariness. Take the arrangement of the kitch: en. The average woman wastes & lot of energy In useless walking. The Kitchen - furnishings are arranged aronnd the wall in such a way that who crosses and recrosses the central floor space from one to another. The position of windows, doors and sta- Honary furpiture sometimes makes ft eonvenlent way, but It would pay every housekecper to sit down and consider just ‘how things could - be planned to require the least walking. Conveniences for Kitchen, A medium-sized house, 20 by 88 feet in size, s shown here, which has 8 splendid kitchen occupying. the rear corner of the house where it has plenty of light and ventilation from the different windows., The connection between the kitchen and pantry is fo- tended to make these two rooms into @& very satlsfactory workshop with su- perior convenlences for doing the housework.

The bullt-n. sideboard should be con- structed of the same kind of wood as the base-board, door and window cas- [ ings and other trim of the dining room and living room. . Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom, with convenlent clothes closets. Always the bathroom should be bullt in a farm house at the time of building. It is not absolutely necessary to put in the plumbing un- il later, but the room should be pro- vided and the pipes laid in the parti- tions and under the floors, ready to connect with the fixtures at any fu- ture time. i The manner of building the roof is economical, because the bedrooms are taken from what would otherwise be waste space.
