d. The ftable. 



e. The hogfties. 



f. A pond ; a mouth of it paled into 

 the yard. 



g. The cart lodge. 



The cow-houfe is only a fhed open in 

 front, fupported by pofts, but with rails 

 from poft to pofl to open and fhut like a 

 gate : to ferve when unoccupied by cows 

 fliut up— as an open fhed for the loofe 

 cattle in the yard to flicker under. 



I have taken no notice of the dwelling 

 houfe, becaufe many caufes may render it 

 neceflary to have the yard and the houfe 

 feparate ; but whenever it can be managed, 

 I would always have the farmer's kitchen 

 at leail:, form a part of the inclofure, in- 

 ftead of fo much paling for the great con- 

 venience of having the barn, the fl-able, 

 and all his cattle conftantly under the eye 

 of fome of his family. 



To have joined the buildings in one line 

 would have faved fomething in ends-, but 

 the yard would be much more incomplete 

 in many refpe6ts. 



I have fuppofed the liable for four horfes; 

 bat three or tv/o may be eafily propor- 

 tioned.
