 ting them ; for fows with pigs ; for wean-

 from the farm houfe and dairy; and recep- 

 tacles of fatting meat, with a copper and 

 boilinghouf?, and room for flowing pota- 

 toes, carrots, &c. Szc. All thefe conveni- 

 ences fhould be compadt with refped to 

 each other, and well connected ; and, at 

 the fame time, properly fituated in the 

 farm-yard for the general purpofe of mixing 

 dung. 



Laftly, I fhould remark, that there ought 

 to be proper provifion of conveniences for 

 feeding fuch cattle as are not confined to 

 houfes, but kept at large in the yards; fuch 

 as proper racks for hay and frraw; cover 

 to protedt them from the weather ; and 

 long bings for giving them turnips, &c. 

 &c. in. 



I have fketched thefe few particulars, to 

 fhew that there are many points of conve- 

 nience to be attended to in the dilpofition of 

 the buildings that furround a farm-yard. I 

 fhall next prefent the reader with a fketch of 

 ^he necefTary buildings united in a complete
