DISTRIBUTION of BUILDINGS. 
Although the distribution of the Buildings will 
seldom come within the province of the Manager, 
who must be content with such as he finds, yet as 
this Treatise may be deemed worthy the perusal of 
some persons about erecting Buildings, and the 
proper distribution of them is an object of such im¬ 
portance, the Author has presumed to offer his 
sentiments thereon.

For convenience, your Draining-platform should 
be contiguous to your Mill-house ; the back of 
your Mill-house, if the surface will permit, should 
be on the edge of a descent from the buildings, so 
that the Coffee-husks may be raked away to a 
sufficiently spacious artificially formed platform, 
somewhat below ; made by digging the ground to 
a level sufficient to receive it. For though they 
have an offensive smell, and contribute to filth, if 
left about the buildings, they must not be lost, 
being, as we have already observed, of great use in 
making manure.
