SKEEP STABLES 



The Hungarian bullock-stables are often worth inspection, 

 Thej are spacious, and roofed bj stone arches springing^ from 

 fine pillars which extend along the centre of the building. 

 These handsome, whitewashed, vaulted buildings reminded me 

 of the crypt of some cathedral, and appeared equally permanent. 

 When filled with a double row of handsome Hungarian oxen 

 standing head to head, their fine horns forming a central avenue, 

 the effect is very imposing. Such is the bullock-stable at 

 Kopnigsheiden. 



The sheep-stable is a long rectangular building divided by 

 hurdles for the different sections of the flock, and furnished with 

 pens for rams. Some of these stables are [_ shaped, and are- 

 of great size. One visited at Harkanyi estate (Tokay district) 

 housed easily 780 lambs, and was 100 feet long by 22^ feet 

 wide ; 638 ewes were seen resting at mid-day in another shed 

 on the same farm. 



The farm-buildings upon the Archduke Albrecht's estates,^ 

 b^th in Upper and Lower Hungarv, rival anything of the sort 

 in England for the grandeur of their general plan, the excellence 

 of their construction, and the elaboration of their internal 

 fittings. Guide-ways and turn-tables carry trucks of both food and 

 manure to their destination, and every contrivance of modern.
