This Homestead indicates higher culture. We see at a glance that the proprietor 

 of this place has more enlarged ideas, and has manifested good taste in homestead 

 scenery; his barn, cribs, feed-lots, garden, etc., are not displayed along the public 

 highway, but occupy a place back of the house. 



His grounds are entered from side directions ; his carriage-way constitutes the 

 boundary line between his lawn and orchard ; his front views are intercepted by no 

 unsightly objects ; his grounds have a generous extent, and his scenery is pleasing. 

 But, still there is one thing with which we are not reconciled : we do not admire the 

 rectangular boundary of his grounds — we would like to round off his corners.
