2955. As an example of a commodious arrangement for an arable Jarm managed for a gen- 

 1 leman farmer by his superintendant, both resident at the farm {Jig. 448.),we give the follow-

improvements by Mr. Loch ; a work which, as it contains a great number of valuable 

 plans and elevations, all of which have been executed, may be profitably consulted by 

 every landed proprietor who contemplates either buildings or repairs, and by every 

 architect, builder, or surveyor, whose practice is at all connected with agriculture or the 

 country. The dwelling-house of the master contains two good sitting-rooms on the 

 parlour floor ; three bed-rooms on the first floor, and attics over them, and over the cellar 

 two kitchen oflBces. The farmery consists of a cart-shed (a) ; stable (6) ; riding-horse (c); 

 bam (d) ; mill-shed (e) ; cattle-shed (/) ; steaming-place {g) ; root-house {li) ; cow- 

 house (i) ; fatting cattle (k) ; intendant's house (/, m, n) ; piggeries (o). The intendant's 

 house is situated about three times its height distant from the south side of the piggeries 

 (o o), so that nothing unpleasant or inconvenient may be experienced either from the 

 noise or the smell of the pigs, or from the general efiluvia of the farmyard. This house, 

 like every other built by the Marquess of Stafford, whether for his tenants, cottagers, or 

 servants, exhibits a reasonable attention to the comforts of the occupants, and to the 

 improvements of the age in domestic economy and architecture. In this respect, the 

 Marquess, unlike some other extensive landed proprietors, cannot be considered as in 

 arrear of the ^ge in which he lives.
