FIG. 3. 



Here we see how the same situation will appear by rounJitu^ off the corners. 



Manifestly, the proprietor of this place has an appreciation of the beauties of 

 nature. His lane from the public hijjhway to his barn-lots takes a curve around his 

 grounds; his carriage-drive (D) gracefully curves up near his house, and thence off to 

 the barn. 



Here we see evidence of taste, culture, and a love of home. The proprietor of 

 this place has no thought of renting out his farm and moving into town. 



In presenting these sketches, we have supposed no natural advantages, except what 

 every open prairie situation will afford. We will now, on closing, ask your attention to 

 one more sketch, where the location chosen for the homestead is on more rolling grounds, 

 and in connection with a natural grove of young timber.
