By W. A. RADFORD.
Mr. "William A. Radford will answer j
Questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subject^, pertaining to the 1
subject of building work on the farm, for I
the readers of this paper. On account of !
his wide experience as Editor, Author and
Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these subjects.
Address all Inquiries to William A. Rad
ford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago,
111., and only Inclose three-cent stamp for
reply.
In this age of conservation one of
the most appalling wastes is the waste
of woman-power In doing housework—
especially housework in the farm
home. In the shop and factory, ex
perts are constantly on the watch for
any unnecessary waste of effort, to
see that human power is not 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 a new equipment
or rearrange the old to relieve an end
less amount of weariness.
Take the arrangement of the klich
en. The average woman wastes a lot
of energy in useless walking. The
kitchen furnishings are arranged
around the wall in such a way that
she crosses and recrosses the central
floor space from one to another. The i
position of windows, doors and sta- |
tionary furniture sometimes makes it !
difficult to adjust things in the most i
convenient way, , but it would pay
every housekeeper 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 38 feet
In size, is shown here, which has a
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 apd paptry is in
tended to make these two rooms into
a very satisfactory workshop with su
perior conveniences for doing the
housework. There is a bakery work
table in front of a large window in
the pantry for making pastry that
fi m-.
Floor Plan.
takes this kind of work out of the
kitchen.
Another feature that, farm house
keepers will appreciate is the wash
room for the men in the entry be
tween the kitchen and the aide porch.
This entry also provides a good cor
ner for the refrigerator. It is not nec
essary for the (pien to go into the
kitchen at meal time. The entry from
the side porch gives a passageway di
rectly into the dining room. However,
the kitchen is large enough to hold a
small dining table if desired.
There are often defects in kitchen
furniture and fixtures that make trou
ble. One of the major worries of archf*
tects and contractors In town ta tbf
placing of the kitchen sink—women
seem to be Inexplicably fussy ore®
such a small affair. The kitchen sink,
however, Is not a trifling matter to the
W’oinan who uses it three times and
more a day; no wonder she wants to
have It in the right place. What sha
generally overlooks and what is mora1
Important is the height at which it la
placed. Not one sink in a hundred laj
set high enough for*a woman of ave®*
age height and the stooping and bend^
ing over working surfaces that ard
too low puts possibly more drudgery,
into housework than any other ona
thing.
Arrangement of Sink.
The sink shh'ild be adjusted to suit
the height of tho woman who is td
use it; it should ha,lTe a short shelf
for stacking dishes atVthe right and
a wide drainboard at tiro left, with at
cupboard above; this is tfife. only ar
rangement that provides foi\no un
necessary work in the process of dish
washing. There should je no Clip
board under the sink—it is dark and
hard to keep clean, and It means
stooping almost to the., floor to reach
into it.
An arrangement that will be a con
stant comfort to the housekeeper Is
a cupboard or closet about two feet
wide beside the cook-stove, runplng
from the floor to a height of about six
feet, with hooks, racks and. shelves for
holding cooking utensils, and a simi
lar cupboard' for brooms, brushes, car
pet-sweeper, vacuum deaner, etc. A
well-planned kitchen. cabinet* either a
separate piece of furniture or built-in,
is a concrete example of p mechanical
provision for time and labor-saving;
a woman can “turn opt a whole bak
ing’’ without moving a step to reach
any of her supplies.
The dining room and living room
should he finished in the same kind
of woodwork, lb such a way as to
make two very handsome rooms. The
built-in 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 tfre three bedrooms
and a bathroom, with convenient
clothes closets. Always the bathroom
should be built in a farm house at the
time of building. It is not absolutely
necessary to put in the plumbing up
til 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.
The manner of building the roof is
economical, because the bedrooms are
taken from what would otherwise be
waste space. This arrangement gives
more room for the amount of money
expended than any other style of
house.
Asbestos.
The property of asbestos which ren
ders it of economic Importance is that
it is formed of elastic and flexible
fibers. These are sufficiently tough to
be woven into a kind of cloth which
resists Intense heat without fusing or
burning. Such a cloth was much used
in ancient times. The fact of its fire
resisting properties gave It the name
of asbestos—that is, the unconsumable.
Getting Your "Rights."
You may get your rights by Insisting
on them, but you will never get sat
isfaction. The people who go through
life exacting certain things from those
about them, claiming jealously what
they consider their due, miss all that
makes life glad. Spontaneous affec
tion, love which bubbles up like a
Bpring, kindness which finds its re
ward In the doing, are never the por
tion of people who claim their rights.
