OUR MODEL FARM PREMISES 
After several months of study, as time has 
permitted, we are at length enabled to place be¬ 
fore our good readers the promised “ Model 
Farm Premises ” as a Christmas present and we 
think it will prove more acceptable than the 
usual engravings with which at this time illus¬ 
trated papers, the Rural included, are wont to 
enliven their pa¬ 
ges. We have 
no idea it will 
please all, or, in¬ 
deed, that it will 
be found in all 
respects, adapted 
to the taste and 
needs of any. 
But we think 
there are few 
who will not be 
able to glean —- 
uving plan rep- 
ate size forming 
the front and T ^ ^ f 1 | 
east side of an 
inclosed rectang- 
rear of the latter HgS" 
are occupied by 
etc., attached to ^I, 
the dwelling. The 
whole is supposed ^ 
to be situated on ~ — 
a slope inclining ya^-r; r ~ ~ 
towards the south ^ 
and to be on an ^ ^ ■ . •' - 
house. 
a jane runs 
along the north 
side of the farm¬ 
yard, forming a 
general outlet 
from the farm to 
the road. Trees 
and large shrub¬ 
bery arc repre¬ 
sented botween 
this lane and the 
buildings, (J, I), 
A’, etc., acting as 
a protection for 
the farmyard a- 
gainst, cold north¬ 
erly storms. On 
the westerly side 
of the barn are lo¬ 
cated the pits P, 
Q, I! S, designed 
respectively for 
pig, horse, cow, 
and sheep ma¬ 
nure, care being 
taken that each 
kind is kept sepa¬ 
rate for use. T 
represents a tank 
fnrnished with 
cast-iron pump 
and intended for 
tho reception of 
urine and all 
liquid manure. 
It is connected 
by moans of the 
drain pipes r, 
V, V, V, with

as well as with 
tho water-closets

rain-water from 
the roofs of the 
buildings is col¬ 
lected in three 
cisterns as shown 
One of them 
stands near the 
dwelling house

are accessible in 
the s kitchen and 
scullery by means 
of pumps and 
connecting pipes; 
the two others 
are placed re¬ 
ap ectivoly in 
front of the cow 
and horse stable

aro connected
