tre, the boiling or steaming-house, with a granary 

 for corn, meal, bran, &c. a range of cisterns in 

 divisions around it, for receiving immediately from 

 the copper or steam apparatus, and also by tubes 

 from the granary ; around these a path, then the 

 fence, wall, or paling, in which the troughs with 

 hanging lids, for supplying food directly from the 

 cisterns, on one side, and for the hogs feeding 

 on the other ; a range of yards next, and another 

 of low sheds beyond, and last of all, the receptacle 

 for the dung. The potatoe stores (pyes as they are 

 called) should at one end, point i>ear to the en- 

 trance, and water must be raised to the coppers and 

 cisterns at once by a pump : a trough or other con- 

 veyance from the dairy to the cisterns, for milk, 

 whey, &c. Such an arrangement will be very con- 

 venient, and the expence need not be considerable. 

 To annex a certain space of grass, or artificial 

 grasses, in divisions, into which the hogs may be 

 let at pleasure, is an addition of admirable use, if 

 the spot permit it. Those who do not possess a 

 convenient pig apparatus, can have little idea of the 

 great use of it, in making manure. This alone 

 becomes an object that would justify any good 

 farmer in going to a certain expence, for attaining 

 so profitable a part of what ought to be his farm-, 

 yard system. In nine-tenths of the farmeries in 

 the kingdom, it is lamentable to see so many parts 



an octagon - } but where masonry is not employed the objection 

 does not hold.
