PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



The first edition of this work lias been very favourably received, and there is 

 now a demand for a second. Some new matter has been added in the form of 

 an appendix, consisting of illustrated chapters on Thatching and a Small Farm 

 Dairy ; also two additional lay-out plans of steadings. The author has some 

 reason to believe that the book has served a useful purpose in the past, and 

 trusts that the second edition will receive a no less favourable reception at the 

 hands of the public, and in particular of the farmers, than did the first.
