Tuesday, .ecemoer o, .mVv. Improvement The Ameri The destiny of the farmer of the future is influenced in a great degree by the farm homes of the present gen eration. It is undeniably true that much of the responsibility for the maovement of farmers cityward is due to the discomforts and inconveniences of the farm home. It is useless to decry the action of the farm boy and farm girl who go to the city because they foresee better things for them selves, while the fathers and mothers are hustling in the same direction. A wide acquaintance gives us abundant evidence that a great many farmers :are looking forward to the time be put on a basis fully as attractive -as those of the city? The answer to this question means that profits of the farm be invested in improved 'farm homes-houses supplied with heating systems, running water, sew -erage, gas or electric light. It means large, roomy comfortably arranged houses. It means houses that are homes-homes just as good as any the city can provide. It means com Tfort for aching bones and rest for tired -muscles. It means pride of posses sion and mental satisfaction. It is not ~ worth the price Never doubt it. It is fact that all these things may be accomplished at a cost not a whit -greater than is incurred for like buildings in the city. It will, of course,I tcall for the expenditure of morc -money on the farm, but that should be considered in the light of an invest me'nt which will add just that much \tc its material value. If one-half the immense sums of money which the farmers of the Unmit - d States have invested in Canada lands had been devoted to building good, substantial, comfortable, con 'renient and well-equipped houses on the 'farms that produced as profits the -money thus sent abroad such farms -would have received a wonderfu1 re 'rival of values, and the families on them would have become th. objects of envy where they are now worship - -pers at the shrine of city comforts. Such houses do not involve any ex -penditure out of proportion with the value of the farm. They need not be -over-expensive. Yet the construction .of such a house should be of a char -acter good for many generations of the future. Brick, stone and concrete should supplant wood. At present and prospective prices of lumber the dif 'ference in cost is worthy of no con sideration whatever. Wood, as an ex terior building material, is only a temporary makeshift at best. ais prz servation, even for the period of a single geeain de-penlds u1po' the original cost. In building for permanency any avoidedi. In building, as in cloting. tte ultra styles of today may be the folly monuments of tomorrow. Choose with a view to interior conveniences Sand comfort rather than to exterior showiness. P.lain, substantial build i-ngs with a massiveness that sug gests ability to withstand the test of -ages are always of attractiva appear ance. Manufacturers have, to a greater attent than farmers, realized the won f Farm Homes. can Farmer. conveniences which may be had for the farm home. They have perfected systems of water supply for the house that are as excellent in their operation and as effective in their re sults obtained as any city plant. The cost is decidedly low. Furnaces, hot-water plants or steam heating devices are just as cheap, just as available and just as much to be depended upon as those in use in the city home. For lighting, both gas and electric systems have been provided that are adapted to the farm, and in either case at a cost not out of keeping with the results to be obt-ind. me:aber. It is an o&.ect of interest to the entire community, ani has adver tised the county in which it is located more than any other public or pri vate building or business undertaking. -The American Farmer.
