Being  Is.  3 d.  per  coomb. 
Nos.  11  and  12  are  two  grazing-yards  64  feet  square,  including 
the  shed,  which  is  16  feet  wide. 
Nos.  13  and  14  are  turnip-houses  opening  into  each  yard,  from 
whence  the  cattle  can  all  be  fed. 
No.  15  is  intended  for  a carpenter’s  workshop,  which  is  a very 
requisite  building. 
No.  16,  the  cart-shed  with  granary  over ; the  granary  to  be 
in  the  roof  14  feet  wide. 
No.  17,  house  for  harness,  &c. 
No.  18,  cart-horse  stable,  divided  into  6 loose  boxes,  each  box 
fitted  up  with  2 iron  mangers  and  iron  water-trough. 
No.  19,  corn  and  chaff-house  20  feet  square,  with  granary  over 
for  horse-corn.  Here  the  food  for  the  horses  can  be  prepared  by 
the  yard-man,  and  the  horses  fed  by  him  at  the  head  of  the  horse- 
boxes. By  this  plan  each  horse  would  have  exactly  what  corn 
the  farmer  thinks  proper  to  allow  him  ; but  I would  by  no  means 
recommend  the  litter  to  remain  more  than  one  day  in  the  horse- 
boxes, but  cleaned  out  every  day  and  put  into  the  cattle-vards.
