Many fmall farms I have viewed atten- 

 tively, and remember very few with lefs 

 building — in general they have more; but 

 in lb di- jointed a lii uatlon, that with more 

 paling around the boufes few have a good 

 yard, notwithftandnig the necefiity of one 

 to good hufbandry in every part of the 

 kingdom. A farm being fmall, fhould ne- 

 ver influence a landlord to neglecl fo im- 

 portant a matter, as convenient buildings 

 well fituattd and forming a yard for keep- 

 ing togethe;- all the cattle in winter. The 

 corjdition of the farm will depend much 

 01 ti IS attention J for if the tenant for 

 w cir.i of proper conveniencies lets his cattle 

 firo!! about the farm, the land, if it is wet 

 or moid, fuffers; and a great injury is 

 fuftained in the lofs of manure. 



I need not particularize the exa6l di- 

 menfions of each of the buildings, as that 

 would render a plan requifite to every 

 variation in the farm : they ihould be pro- 

 portioned to the cattle that will probably 

 be kept on the farm : — the number of 



horfes regulates the ftable that of cows, 



the cow-houfe and hogftiesj^ the arable 



land, the barn; the implements, the cart 

 lodge, ^which Ihould indubitably be large
