Dwellings and Outbuildings
The site of the dwellings and tn,
0utbuildings on the height already
mentioned as rising In the middle o.
the land may be deemed model oil
judicious selection, good taste and
economy. This height is rocky and
contains, clothed with fine trees, such
as naples. oaks, butternuts, etc.
without reckoning the fruit and orna.
mental trees, the lawn and the flow.
ers which further embellish this
pleasant site.
Many farmers build in a hole, II
the hole be near the road, rather than
deprive themselves of the pleasure OF
seeing the people pass, by building
further off. The Scotch in the coun-
ty of Chateauguay in order to erect
their residences, always seek the
heights in preference, no matter how
4 far these are removed from the pub
lie highway, and especially when they
lie towards the middle of the farm.
They do this for the following rea-
sons-it saves walking and hauling
on the farm; makes it possible for
them to construct easily drained deep,
healthy cellars, assures salubrity Of
the dwelling, commanding view over
the surrounding country and all parts
Of the farm and facility of obtaining
water at the base of the hills, etc.
Consideration of all these advantages
was not overlooked by Mr.. Younie
and his farm consequently presents
a remarkable model of utilization of
the nature of the ground.
The dwelling house is in good ru-
raj style, built of brick with two bay
windows, wing kitchen with a gal
lery on each side, laundry or sum-
mer kitchen, and wood shed. 1t is
well divided, well finished, and we'll
furnished and fitted up in all re-
spects. The cellar is cemented, prop
erly lighted and ventilated, healthy
and divided into several apartments.
A pretty border of choice flowers
surrounds this agreeable dwelling
and enhances it's attractiveness. Its
dimensions are 36x27 feet for the
main body and 27x16 feet for the
kitchen.
The different outbuildings clus-
tered around the house are pretty
and advantageously locat-
ed for their useful destinations. We
may mention smoke house for
meat, 7x7, joiners shop, etc.,
well stocked with tools also used for
certain agricultural work which Mr..
Younie practices on a good scale, 16x
"a feet, wood shed of 16x26 feet,
an Indian corn dryer 4x12 feet, a |
wagon and grain shed of 20x36 feet.
a piggery and poultry house of 15x
20 feet and an implement shed of
lSx92 feet The poultry house Is
we'll lighted and supplied with an ar
rangement which facilitates it's clean |
Ing and its maintenance in good con-
dition. The stables are of easy ac-
cess by stone sidewalk from the
kitchen door. All the buildings are
m good state, lime washed, healthy |
and well lighted and ventilated. The
flooring of all the lodgings of the an
mails, including the poultry house,
