favorable. 4 cluster of houses. small

what dilapdated. But this appearance
is deceptive; for the walls being of
wood. they look old in few years, and
become blotched and scared by the
weather. The roof is of the same ma
terial, or in the case of the principal
building, either of red tile or slab.
Sometimes the dwelling-house Is
painted white. when the effect il to
relieve the sober aspects of the groups.
The walls are usually stout and thor
oughly waterproof, plank about four
inches thick being used in their con-
struction. These planks are placed
edgewiSc on one another. crossed and
countersunk at the angles and calked in
the seams with dry moss. A skin of
thin wood is placed over the outside.
while the interior is lined smoothly
with boards. Inside there Is IN air OF

stands in the center Of the chief room.
and along the wall bench runs. which
serves for chairs, of which there j.
usually deficiency. From pots on the
floor. ivy is sometimes trained upward
to the roof, giving the room n festive
and refreshing look. Not infrequently
the worthy farmer is proud to have the
dresses of his daughters hung in con-
spicuous positions, in order that swains
who call may see the damsols are we'll

matrimonial alliance. The cow-houses
are generally an Improvement on those

land. The building is larger and more
space is allowed 60 each animal. while
