DESIGN FOR A SUBURBAN COTTAGE. 



In accordance ■with an announcement made at 

 the commencement of the year to furnish new 

 and useful illustrations to the Farmer, we pre- 

 sent to-day another of the chaste, simple and yet 

 very beautiful designs by Mr. G. E. Harney, of 

 Lynn. Those already given, Nos. 1 and 2, have 

 been very favorably received, and we are confi- 

 dent that No. 3 will afford valuable suggestions 

 that will be made practical by many individuals. 



The sketches which we now offer comprise a 

 design and plan for a cottage suitable for a sub- 

 urban or village lot. Though the exterior is 

 somewhat ornamental in its character, there is 

 nothing about it costly or difficult of execution — 

 no detail which cannot easily be wrought by any 

 ordinary house carpenter. 



It is designed to be of wood, and covered in 

 the usual vertical and battened manner. The 

 roof projects two feet and a half, and is support- 

 ed on brackets. The house should rest on a 

 foundation projecting, at least, three feet above 

 the level of the ground. The first story is 10 ft. 

 high in the clear, and the second G ft. at the 

 eaves and 10 ft. high at the ceiling. The plan 

 comprises 



No. 1, gallery, 5 ft. wide. No. 2, hall, 7d ft. 

 wide and 20 ft. long, containing stairs to cham- 

 ber and cellar. 



From the hall we enter No. 3, the parlor, 18 

 ft. square, in the front of which, and forming its 

 principal feature, is a bay window overlooking 

 the front yard. 



No. 4, is 15 ft. square, and may be used either 

 as abed-room or living-room. No. 5, the kitchen, 

 is 15 ft. by 16 ; it contains a large closet, and con- 

 nects with a pantry, No. 6, v/hich opens upon a 

 gallery. No. 7, leading to the yard. Under this 

 gallery is the outside entrance to the basement. 



The second floor contains 4 chambers, each 

 furnished with a large clothes-press ; two of these 

 chambers are lighted by dormer windows. 



Cost, about SIGOO near Boston. 



The Teeth. — The teeth are divided into three 

 classes, each class fitting us for a different kind 

 of food : First, The incisors, or cutting teeth, 

 being eight in numl)er, four top and bottom ; 

 those of the upper jaw being larger, and falling 

 over the under ones in closing the mouth. The 

 office of these teeth is for dividing and cutting 

 the food, by bringing it between the surfaces of 

 the sharp edges. Second, The canine teeth, so 

 called from their resemblance to the dog's tooth, 

 are placed on each side of the incisors, making 

 two in each jaw. The intention of these teeth is 

 to lay hold of substances, and are peculiar to all 

 carnivorous animals, and of which man is con-
