38 MAINE STATE SOCIETY. 



In the underground plan are a number of stalls for cattle, a root- 

 cellar, calf-pen, and cistern and watering-trough, to be supplied 

 with rain water from the eaves of the barn, and lighted by windows 

 in the wall. The space in front of the stalls may serve as -a shel- 

 tering place for sheep. The space in front of the shed and between 

 the barn and house, may be devoted to a flower or kitchen garden, 

 and a bee-house, with a carriage way between it and the buildings.

 October, 1857. 



Note by Editor. — Mrs. Case has called my attention to two 

 errors in the plans as engraved. 1st, there should be a window in 

 place of the door between the dining room and recess; and 2d, there 

 should be a door leading from the dairy kitchen to the recess.
