THE FARMER S AND 



In placing the stairs, I have not calculated for a cellar, 

 as 1 do not believe that, in this climate and soil, it is healthy 

 to have a cellar under the dwelling ; but if one is required, 

 I would open the door on to the porch, which would pre- 

 vent the deleterious gas from rising up the stairway di- 

 rectly into the room. If the builder should prefer to have 

 the front room larger, he can run the stairs up one side 

 of the pantry. In that case, he could build the kitchen 

 part complete in itself, and afterward add the front part.
