By W. A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building work on the farm, for
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 kitch
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
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.

Convenience* 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 and pantry 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

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 side porch.
This entry also provides a good cor
ner for the refrigerator. It is not nec
essary for the men 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 irchl*
tects and contractors In town is th#
placing of the kitchen sink—woman
seem to be Inexplicably fussy over
such a small affair. The kitchen sink,
however, is not a trifling matter to the
woman who uses it three times and
more a day; no wonder she wants to
have it in the right place. What she
generally overlooks jind what is mor#
important is the height at which it 1#
placed. Not one sink in a hundred i#
set high enough for a woman of aver*
age height and the stooping and bend
ing over working surfaces that ar#
too low puts possibly more drudgerjj
into housework than any other on#
thing.
Arrangement of Sink.
The sink should be adjusted to suit
the height of the woman who is td
use it; it should have a short shelf
for stacking' dishes at the right and
a wide drainboard at the left, with, a
cupboard above; this is the only ar*
; rangement that provides for no un
necessary work in the process of dish
| washing. There should oe no cup
board under the sink—it is dark and

An arrangement that will be a con
stant comfort to the housekeeper 1
a cupboard or closet about two fee
wide beside the cook-stove, runnini
from the floor to a height of about si:
feet, with hooks, racks and shelves fo
holding cooking utensils, and a slml

pet-sweeper, vacuum cleaner, etc. i

separate piece of furniture or bullt-ir
Is a concrete example of a mechanics
provision for time and labor-saving
a woman can “turn out a whole bal
ing” without moving a step to read
any of her supplies.
The dining room and living root
should be finished in the same kin
of woodwork, In such a way as t
make two very handsome rooms. Th
built-in sideboard should be cor
structed of the same kind of wood a
the base-board, door and window cai
lngs and other trim of the dining rooi
and living room.
Upstairs there are three bedroom
and a bathroom, with convenier
clothes closets. Always the bathrooi
should be built in a farm house at th
time of building. It is not absolutel
necessary to put In the plumbing ui
til later, but the room should be pr<
vlded and the pipes laid in the part
tions and under the floors, ready t
connect with the fixtures at any fi
ture time.
The manner of building the roof 1

taken from what would otherwise b
waste space. This arrangement give
more room for the amount of mone
expended than any other style c

Asbestos.
The property of asbestos which rer

fibers. These are sufficiently tough t
be woven into a kind of cloth wblc
resists Intense heat without fusing c
burning. Such a cloth was much use
in ancient times. The fact of its fir<
resisting properties gave It the nara
