all the stacks are in their places, and untouched ; but as they are removed to the barn the 

 appearance of the flat-roofed sheds will |io^ be so consonant to established notions of

4174. A farmery for a ^ddow-farm of 250 acres near- London {fig. 613.), may be 

 arranged as follows : -T^Tfie house may contain a porch, lobby, and stair to chambers and 



cellars (a), parlour (6), bedroom or study (c), pantry (d), kitchen (e), lumber-room {f), 

 business-room (g), back kitchen (A), coal cellar and maid's room over (t), wood-house 

 {k), yard and pump (Z), pigs {in), chaise (n), poultry (o), tools and roots, &c. (/>), two 

 stalls, and a saddle and harness place (^), harrows and large implements, &c. (r), 

 bailiff's house or men's lodge (), cows (t), chaff-cutting room, and granary over (if), 

 straw-barn (i)), corn-floor {w), unthreshed corn [x), stable and stall for litter {y), loaded 

 of ethpty carts and implements (z), watering-trough (^), rick-stands (1), bailiff's garden

4175. An; anomalous design for a turnip-farm of 500 acres (fg. 615) contains a'

mitted as examples for general imitation, but merely as'sources "of ideas to such as have 

 the' designing of this species of tural buildings, for employers who have a taste for design 

 and for originality, and who can afford to gratify that taste. It is a poor business, and 

 one which never can procure much applause, when a proprietor of wealth and cultivated 

 mind erects for bis own use the same sort of farmery, or, indeed, of any other buildings, 

 as the tenants who support him. In East Lothian, Berwickshire, Northumberland, and 

 on the Marquis of Stafford's estates both in England and Scotland, are some noble 

 examples of substantial, commodious, and even elegant farmeries. (See Gen. Rep. of 

 Scotland,' &ndl Loch''! Imj). on the Mar q. of Stafford's Estates, 4:^ 8vo. 1819.)
