the best kind of houses constructed. The aspect I would recommend, 
is for the house to receive the full sun at eleven o’clock in the day, 
and be so situated as to have the sun-shine, from four in the morn¬ 
ing to eight o’clock in the evening. The uprights in front (a) are three 
inches wide and half an inch thick, set in stone, each sash swings open 
with a pivot; the spout (b) is four inches wide, and rests upon the 
top of the front sashes, fastening to them with screws. The as- 
trickles or sash bars (c) should be the size and weight of one pound 
to a foot, and screwed at one end to the spout, and the other to the 
stone coping at the top (d). The rafters are four inches wide, and 
half an inch thick ; the lights in front all swing open; there is also 
a light over each door, to slide or swing, and three slides of wood in 
the back wall, within six inches of the top, to let off the vapours 
when necessary. The roof is all fast, and the air is only admitted 
through the back, front, and ends.
