cattle are wintered in the area between the 

 buildings, not in the buildings themfelvcs. 



In one inftance, I have obfcrved the cattle 

 hovels fpun out in fuch a manner as wholly 

 to inclofe the dung-heap, excepting a gate- 

 way to get it out at. But the hovels in this 

 caie were only feven feet wide; not wide 

 enough for cattle to (land acrofs them ; they 

 being placed in them length way in pairs. The 

 quantity of walling, the number of doors, 

 &c. and the quantity of roofing, with the 

 fubfequent repairs incident to low Straggling 

 buildings, render this, and every other plan 

 which refembles it, altogether inelig'ble in 

 any Diilrifl where cattle are wintered under 

 cover. Wide houfes, or open flieds wide 

 enough to permit curtle to ftand acrofs then,, 

 are in many refpefts preferable. 



In oppoiition to the Farm Yard lafb men- 

 tioned, there is, likewife in this neighbour- 

 hood, an inflance of the entire Farmery (of a 

 fmall upland farm) being comprifed under 

 one roof ! 



The f.te a lorfg fqunre. One end is oc- 

 cupied by a fmall dwelling-place for a

 remainder by a ftable d.nd bcafl-houfes; over
