2714. A farm-house of the smallest size (Jig. 360.), where the poultry and tool house 

 are in the farm-yard, but where the farmer keeps only one servant, and works and 

 lives with him, may contain an entrance and stair {a) ; kitchen, closet, and oven [b) ; 

 back kitchen (c) ; dairy (rf) ; parlor (e) ; bedroom (/) ; with three bedrooms and a 

 garret up stairs, and a cellar under. A few of such farm-houses and tenants should be 

 found in all parts of the country, if for no other reason than to preserve the gradation 

 from the laborer to the professional farmer, and from the cottage to the farm- 

 house.
