*he whole of the fruit season, and occasionally for dmner parties, for 

 preserved tarts, &c. We observed here small tin cases for sending 

 ifrgs and butter to town. The butter, wrapped in leaves, or a butter 

 cioth, is placed in the bottom of a tin box about a foot square, 

 so as to fill the box completely ; and another tin box is placed over 

 it, the inner box resting on a rebate, to prevent its crushing the 

 butter below it. In this latter box, the eggs are packed in bran, 

 after which the cover of the outer one is put on, and the whole may 

 then be sent to any distance by coach. The dairy is supplied with 

 water from a pump in the scullery ; the water being conveniently 

 distributed in both places by open tubes and pipes.

 while the liquid is drawn off below by a faucet with a screw spigot, 

 such as is common in Derbyshire and other parts of the north, which 

 admits the water to come out through the under side of the faucet. 

 Here are also kept paint pots, oil cans, boxes, baskets, and a variety 

 of other matters. The whole of this shed is kept warm by the heat 

 which escapes from the fire-place in 61, and from the back of the 

 orchidaceous house, 4.

63, Shed, with roof of patent slates, which becomes a cheap mode of
