The value of the farm may be greatly modified by the
improvements upon it. It is well to ask, Is the house well located?
May it not have to be virtually rebuilt before it is at all satisfactory?
Will it be necessary to move and repair barns before they are at all
suited to their purposes? The improvements may be too extended
for the needs of the purchaser. Some farms are overloaded with
buildings (Fig. 4); some have badly arranged, unsightly buildings, too
good to destroy and too ugly and unhandy for either economy or
pleasure. Farm buildings are not a direct source of income and are
expensive to keep in repair; therefore, there would better be a slight
deficiency of them than an ill arranged surplus. All other permanent
improvements, such as orchards, plantations, fences, and the like,
should be carefully considered. A good bearing orchard of only a few
acres may serve to furnish enough profit each year to liquidate taxes
and interest charges. The orchard may be cheaper at $500 per acre
than the balance of the farm is at $75 per acre, or it may be only an
incumbrance of good land. Is the farm naturally or artificially
drained? If not, will $35 per acre have to be spent in thorough
draining before the land is really satisfactory? If not drained, will it
bring constant disappointment? Fences, lanes and the necessity for
them, the amount and location of inferior land as pasture land, the
kind of weeds about the farm, as well as the amount, kind and
location of timber, should be considered.
Fig. 4. Too many buildings for eighty acres of land.
Since more than three-fourths of the life of the farmer and his
family are spent in sight of home, more than one-half of life in the
house, and more than one-fourth in bed, the house, the place where
they live, should receive most careful attention. Having secured
sufficient land to maintain a home, and having made certain that
these lands are productive and profitable, a problem is presented in
locating and building the house which demands a high degree of
intelligence, long, painstaking study, and a good understanding of
what constitutes fitness, beauty and durability.
Life in the country gives one the idea of repose, of strength and
breadth, of largeness, of solidity and durability, of healthy,
symmetrical, solid development. Things which are evanescent,
unreal, shoddy; things which are simply for show or vulgar display;
things which have the appearance of aping that which may be
appropriate under different conditions, but are totally out of place in
rural life, must be avoided if utility, natural beauty and comfort,
economy and repose are to be secured.
The pioneer in the wooded districts built the home in some
sequestered nook or valley at the base of the hill or table land, where
the spring or the stream issued from the wood-covered heights. The
rural house of the pioneer allowed free circulation of the frosty air;
the problem of ventilation they solved without knowing it. Unwittingly
they adopted the correct principle; viz., ventilation by many small,
gentle streams of air instead of by a few large openings, which
create dangerous drafts. It must be admitted that our forefathers
overdid the ventilation in most cases, and rheumatism and chilblains
were the result; but the principle was correct.
Now the spring has dried up, the water from the deforested hills
comes rushing to the lowlands until the streams overflow their banks,
and these and other changed conditions indicate that the future
farmsteads should be erected on higher land, on the slopes of the
hills. From the one extreme we have gone, in some cases, to the
other, and the home has been built on the very apex of some lofty
hill. Such locations may be well adapted for summer residences,
where little or no farming is carried on, but are not suitable for the
farm home.
Now that the house is constructed by more skilled workmen than
formerly, and out of better material, there is little need of locating the
home in the sheltered nook, except possibly in the extreme north, or
on plains subject to tornadoes. The object in locating the house on
somewhat elevated lands is fourfold. First, air drainage. In deep,
crooked, narrow valleys the air is pocketed, especially at night, and
the damp, cold air settles in the lowest land as certainly as water
finds the low-lying pool. In these pockets between the hills, frosts
come early and remain late.
While traveling in western North Carolina in the late summer and
fall, I could not but observe how every little break in the hillside and
every narrow valley was filled at sunrise, to the crest of the adjoining
hill, with a dense fog. Slowly the sun, as it approached the zenith,
dissipated the fog, but the narrow valleys were often free from fog for
only a few hours each day. Here the home might be situated well up
the mountain side, as shown at the right in Fig. 5.
