 hi tlie T<ii*d to a certain height, it is all con- 

 veyed to the refervoir ; as are the fudds from 

 the wafh'houfe. 



The hay-ftacks are well fituated, for fup- 

 plying the horfes and draught oxen. 



The cow-houfe is in another place. 



The flieep-yard is upon an excellent plan; 

 its ufe is in fevere weather and fnow, their 

 hay is kept dry in the racks, and the 

 fhed for them to retire under, excellent: 

 At the fame time, much valuable manure 

 is made. 



The fcheme of the horfes having an open 

 yard and fhed, to move in, with water con- 

 ftantiy in it, is an admirable contrivance ; 

 they are never tied up, but have full liberty, 

 by which means his Lordfhip's horfes have 

 never been troubled with any diforders from 

 his firft adopting this plan. Their fhed and 

 yard, are all well littered, and much more 

 manure made than in the common method, 



Upon the whole, I cannot but admire the 

 ingenuity of the contrivance, and the fore- 

 caft with which his lordfliip (who planned 

 the whole himfelf ) has fo well adapted each 

 part to its refpe6tive ufe, and fo well con- 

 nected thofe that mutually depend on each 

 other. The front, which is a fcreen on 

 one fide of the whole, has too much merit 

 to be omitted; I infert an elevation of it 

 t;o fhew how much beauty and utility may 

 Ff4' be
