23O BUILDING, [APRIL. 



The young broods, especially of turkies, demand 

 such a careful and almost constant attention, that 

 if they are numerous, the servant to whom they 

 are entrusted should have little else to do. This 

 circumstance renders it necessary either to breed a 

 large number, that the expence may answer, or else 

 to have no other than the common barn-door system. 



LDING. 



This is an article of rural economy which gene- 

 rally belongs to landlords or their stewards ; but 

 as a young farmer may possess his farm by pur- 

 chase or inheritance, it is highly necessary that he 

 should be cautioned in certain points, wherein it is 

 probable he will have had no experience ; and these 

 may be noted without any encroachment into the 

 bounds cf works properly architectural. If he en- 

 tered to his farm at the more common season of 

 Michaelmas, he could not begin any buildings that 

 require the work of masonry till April, but he 

 should not longer delay it, for there is no point in 

 building more necessary to be attended to, than 

 that of finishing, as early in summer as possible, 

 that all works in mortar may have much time- to 

 dry before winter. If the house the farmer lives 

 in be a very bad one, or which war: 

 great repairs, it should be m gly wc -^ t%on 



sidered before they be undertaken, for thousand* 

 have thrown away so much money by beginning too 

 soon, and without due reflection and foresight, that 

 I shall suppose him to think steadily of -it in soi 

 winter month, and not till he has resided in it
