North s and the oppofite fides have no Apertures. Allthe Win- 
dows are about a yard high 5 without any fliutters , and run on in 
a continued Series , with very fmall partitions , fufficient onely to 
nail theLettices to. Each of them is three or four Stories high. 
The Garret-windows are Jetty-wife , with a yards diftance one 
from another 3 glazed out cf the Tiles. The Ground or lower- 
moft Story, 12 foot from the ground, isufed onelyfor a Ware- 
houfe, &c. To fettle the firft Story upon ftrong Pillars 5 forti- 
fied with Spikes of Iron, that no Vermin might get up , would 
make th^t Story fitter for drying of Corn, and more perfladlej 
efpecially where there is no ufe of the lower Rooms, The other 
Stones 5 made for Granaries , are in breadth fome ^^ards , and 
in height 5 foot or fomewhat more. The uppermoft or Garret- 
Granary to the Top or Angle , made by the raifing pieces, much 
more. They have each in the midft from the fides at 8 or p foot

pendicular , one lying either parallel to ih^ Horizon ^ orfo that 
they make an acute Angle with the former , to the fame purpofe. 
For, befides the devouring of the Grain the Excrements and 
Urin of that Vermine , moiftning the Wheat or Rye, make them 
apt to corrupt and breed Weivels. 
The twoV^^/^Confiderables in building thefe Granaries , are,

better: by which means all fuch imparities remain in the middle 
betwixtt he two heaps of Corn • which they skreen, to part the
