In the year 1861, in consequence of the Yorkshh'e Agri- cultural Society having offered two Prizes for the best Plans for Farm Buildings, I was induced to prepare a design for a set of Farm Buildings adapted to a farm of 200 acres, and also a design adapted to a farm of 500 acres. To the former of these the prize was awarded, whilst the latter was " highly commended " by the judges. For the purpose of publication, the smaller design has now been reduced to a scale of o\)th of an inch to a foot, and the larger one to a scale of a^th of an inch to a foot. This difference in scale must be borne in mind, in comparing them with each other. A full specification accompanies each design, and a bill of quantities is added, which will enable any local tradesman to estimate the cost, in reference to the price of materials in the district. Under ordinarily favourable circumstances, the smaller design may be executed for about 1000/., and the larger one for about 2000/. Many landlords are necessarily deterred from the erection B 2 of Tvell-designcd, compact homesteads, by the existence of buildings which are too good to be sacrificed. The covered principle recommended in the following pages may, how- ever, be adapted to existing buildings, to a much greater extent than would, at first sight, be supposed. In such cases a large and superfluous barn may sometimes be con- verted into a very fair make-shift for a covered yard, whilst a roof thrown across a space between two existing buildings will often efiect a great improvement at a very small cost. PHILIP D. TUCKETT. 76, Old Broad Street, Londox, E.G., June, 18G2. PRIZE DESIGNS FOR * COVERED HOMESTEADS. Introductory Remarks. In preparing designs for Farm Buildings, there are three principal objects to be kept in view : — 1. Protection to Stock. 2. Efficient and Economic Manufacture of Manure. 3. Economy of Labour. It requires but a very cursory inspection of the greater portion of our homesteads, to be convinced how entirely they fail to comply with these conditions. Many of them have been built without any design at all, each building having taken the place of some former one, with little or no reference to its neighbours ; but even where the home- stead has been erected on a uniform plan, it too often happens that with greatly enhanced architectural effect, but little practical improvement is obtained. How often do we see in newly built homesteads, two or three large yards, with costly walls, surrounded by several great barns, whilst a small cow-house and two or three nar- row lean-to sheds, often exposed to the wind, afford the only protection to cattle 1 Not unfrequently the yards slope down to an open ditch or pond, allowing the best portion of the manure to run off and be lost, whilst the rotten straw remains, like spent tea-leaves, to be carted out into the fields. Yet every modern farmer knows that without proper buildings, it is impossible to make the most of tlie land ; that if you allow your stock to be exposed all winter to wind and rain, they will not only consume more food, but fail to thrive so well upon it, as when kept warm and dry ; whilst I can say from efperience, that no one w^ho has tried both, can have any doubt of the superiority of manure made under cover, over that which has been exposed for months to every shower. A careful examination of the subject has fully satisfied me, that the protection of stock and economic manufacture of manure are best attained by covered yards ; and in advocating this principle, I am not proposing a merely theoretical or untried innovation, but a plan which has been thoroughly tested by experience, which has alread}^ been adopted by many of our best farmers, and, considering the obstacles which the permanent nature of buildings throws in the way of radical changes, is fast becoming popular. These homesteads can now scarcely be considered as uncommon, especially in the Eastern Counties ; they make converts wherever they are placed, and I think it is not too much to predict, that in a comparatively short time it will be the exception to build on the old plan. I am glad to take this opportunity of acknowledging the kindness of Mr. Beadel of London and Chelmsford, in allow- ing me to inspect several of the homesteads built by him. Mr. Beadel has long been an advocate of this system, and has already erected between twenty and thirty covered home- steads in various parts of the countr}'-. Protection to Stock. Science teaches us that a very large portion of the food eaten by an animal is consumed in keeping ujd the vital heat, whilst only a comparatively small proportion is needed to replace the natural waste of the substance of the body. It follows from this, that the more cold the animal has to resist, the more food it will require ; and such we find is reall}^ the case. It is a very common remark amongst dairy farmers, that frosty weather makes the hay shrink, and every one knows that cattle consume most food in cold weather. But this is a very partial view of the case ; for the quantit}^ of food that an animal can digest is limited, and if the whole of this is required for maintaining the heat of the body, and supplying its natural waste, none will remain to form flesh and fat, and the animal will not improve in condition. Thus the whole cost of the food is wasted, excepting only the value of the manure. On the other hand, if by keeping a beast warm and quiet, the quantity of food required for producing heat and supplying the waste of the body is reduced to a minimum, although less food will be consumed, yet far more will remain to be laid on in the form of flesh, and the animal will rapidly improve in condition. The same remark will apply to dairy cows ; cold weather or poor keep soon makes the j^ield of milk fall off". These considerations very early convinced me that covered homesteads were well adapted for feeding beasts and dairy cows in the winter months ; but what I was most anxious to ascertain was, whether young stock, shut up all the winter, and turned out again in the spring, continued as hardy and did as well as those that had been wintered in straw yards. Having met with a considerable number of farmers who used covered homesteads, I am now able to speak with great confidence, when I say, that if wintered under cover and protected from the weather, but exposed to the atmosphei'e, as in the annexed designs (the covered yards being entirely open at one side), growing stock are more healthy, meet 8 with fewer casualties, and do better during tlie winter ; and when they "go out in the spring, although the winter coat of hair, which is about to come off, may not be quite so thick, they are in every other respect as hardy, and certainly thrive as well, as those that have been wintered out of doors. This is a most important point ; for we constantly see steers and heifers permanently stunted, by starvation and exposure during tlieir first and second winters in some straw yard, or in the fields. On heavy land farms, great difficulty is found in feeding off root crops with sheep on the ground. It is, therefore, a common and increasing practice to grow a large breadth of mangold, and draw both it and the swedes off the land, to be consumed at home. Now it is the general experience that sheep pay better for feeding than cattle, and a covered homestead affords the means of fatting sheep to great advantage. A farmer who fats off 100 every winter under cover, told me the other day that he can fat twice as many sheep in his covered yard off an acre of swedes, as can be fed on the same quantity in the field. I have taken some pains to ascertain whether sheep kept on the straw, like cattle, are more liable to foot-rot than others, and I am assured that they are not, provided the litter is thoroughly well attended to, and not allowed to heat. But it is not so easy to prevent its heating under sheep as under cattle, and, therefore, the safest way is to put them on boards 2J inches wide, with spaces of -J of an inch between. In this way they thrive wonderfully. The boards are moveable, and the bottom and sides of the hollow S23ace below should be concreted. The manure docs not require emptying more than once in two or three months, some gypsum or loam being laid on the bottom and a little straw chaff occasionall}'' sprinkled on the surface. Efficient and Economic Manufactuee of Manure. If all the food consumed in a farm yard consists of straw and bay, with a few turnips, it is even then desirable to pro- tect and economise the manure ; but it is still more extra- vagant to incur a long cake-bill, or keep a lot of corn-fed beasts, and then allow the manure to be emptied daily from the stalls into an open yard, where it is soaked with rain, which in wet weather carries off much of the soluble portion, whilst a good deal of the ammonia is evaporated, leaving a large bulk of greatly impaired strength to be carted away. This is often the case, and yet farmers who winter-feed, know that it is as much as one can expect to get one's cake-bill covered by the increased value of the beasts, leaving all the profit to come out of the manure. The loss that takes place in this way is far more than most people imagine, and the change effected in this respect by the covered system is one of the most important advantages, preventing, as it does, the waste both from washing and evapo- ration. The covered yard is inclosed on three sides, but is entirely open on the south, and contains an area of 100 square feet for every full-sized beast it is intended to take ; thus a yard measuring 50 feet by 20 feet will take ten head of cattle. The bottom is placed about 2 to 3 feet below the level of the ground, but slopes up to the side walls, and at the south, which is closed by an ordinary gate, it rises to the level of the ground outside, so as to allow of carts being backed in, when it is emptied. No drainage is required. When the cattle are brought in, in the fall of the year, a thin layer of straw is spread over the bottom, and more htter 10 is supplied daily, in just sufBcient quantity to keep tlie beasts clean, and no more. This is, of course, tliorougLly trodden down by the stock, and absorbs all the liquid manure, so that there is no waste from drainage. This continues till the manure is about 3 feet deep, which, if the yard is kept full of stock, will be in from two to three months. It is then found to consist of a compact mass of thoroughly well-made dung, fit for carting straight to the field, without turning or exposure of any kind. The whole secret of good management consists in the daily littering of the cattle, for if more straw be put down at once, than can be well trodden down and moistened, the manure will be unevenly made and liable to heat, but with ordinary attention to this point success is certain. Persons often inquire whether the accumulated manure does not smell ofi'ensively, but the constant treading of the cattle keeps it so compact and impervious to the air, that WHILST UNDISTURBED it is perfectly sweet ; indeed, more so than in an ordinary yard. The decomposition goes on quite insensibly, and the volatile substances appear to be refixed as soon as they are formed, thus avoiding the waste that would otherwise take place.'^' We find that twelve cart loads of manure made in this way * It is well known that when a vegetable substance is wetted and pressed tightly down, so as to prevent the circulation of the air, it becomes sonr ; a form of fermentation taking place which results in the production of lactic and other organic acids. In this way sour crout and Scotch sids are made, and grains are soured for pigs. If the damp cabbages used in making sour crout were allowed to lie loosely together, so that the air could gain admittance, they would quickly rot and smell intensely ; but being packed tightly in a barrel or pit, they turn sour. In the same way manure, lying loosely in an open yard, rots fast, and gives ofi' much of its ammonia ; l>ut when trodden tightly down in a small covered yard, it is almost imper- vious to the air, and organic acids are probably formed, which unite with and fix the ammonia as it is developed, forming soluble salts, and thus prevent its escape and keep the manure inodorous. In emptying such a yard, no sooner does the fork let in the air, than the smell is as astonishing as its absence was before. 11 form an ample dressing for an acre of roots, and produce better effects than a much larger number of ordinary dung. We know a well authenticated instance of seven quarters of red and six of rough chaff white wheat being grown on a poor clay soil where this allowance had been used with the previous root crop. Indeed, as to the superiority and saving of manure, there can be no two opinions. Lord Kinnaird gives a report of a comparative experiment in the Eoyal Agricultural Society's Journal, Vol. xiv., p. 336, with such astonishing results, that I abstain from quoting them, as it is obvious from the very large crops, that it was an exceptional case. In the same journal, Vol. xviii., p. 368, is a comparative analysis by Professor Way, of manure made under cover and in open j^ards, communicated by Mr. Charles Lawrence. The quantity of water contained in each was the same, but that made under cover had about 3^ times as much soluble organic matter, 15 per cent, more phosphoric acid, and 2j times as much alkalis, as that from the yard. The manure made under cover was composed of 41 per cent, of straw, and 59 per cent, of actual dung. This experiment, and many others, tend to show, that in stating the value load for load, as double that of an average sample of manure made in open yards, I am not above the mark. A given number of cattle will tread down considerably more straw in an open yard than under cover, and it is often supposed that a much greater bulk of manure is produced. But I believe, that owing to the great waste from washing and evaporation, and from decomposition carried to a waste- ful point, this is not the case to nearly so great an extent as is imagined. It is very difficult to get any data for a calculation on this point. Each bullock has trodden down about ten j'^ards of solid 12 manure wlien a covered yard is full. Tliis takes from two and a-lialf to tliree months, and we may therefore assume that in a covered yard you get full sixteen yards of manure per beast during the winter. The quantity of straw trodden down in an open yard varies greatly with the weather and other causes, but judging from the stock kept and the number of acres usually dressed with dung on various farms, I am inclined roughly to estimate the quantity of well- made manure from an open yard at about 24 cubic yards per beast, kept during the winter half of the year. The late Mr. Robert Baker, in his revised edition of "Ba^ddon on Tillages," states that the straw from one acre of corn produces about four loads (or six cubic yards) of manure ; but it requires a large crop of straw to make this quantity. If we assume that half the arable land is in corn, and that each acre of corn produces only one and a-half loads of straw, we get three-fourths of a load of straw converted into three cubic yards of manure for every acre of arable land. This will hardly be done well in a straw yard with less than one beast to every eight acres of arable land. In a covered yard we find by experience that one load of straw, well trodden down, produces about four loads, or six cubic yards of manure. Let us, however, to be on the safe side, assume that three loads of straw are required to make the sixteen yards of manure. _, , , . . . ~ 1 r converts 3 loads of straw mto ^ Each beast winter- fed ) -, ^ v.- i r^ [ 1 , < 16 cubic yards of manure, > in a covered yard ) _li ^ ^ ■, ( *' (^ worth at 7s. j^cr yard . ) Each beast wintered J converts G loads of straw into ) in an open yard ( 24 cubic yards, at 3s. 6d. j Saving in manure .

Does not this help to explain why there is usually so little profit on winter- feeding beasts 1 These figures are necessarily only approximations, it being extremely difiicult to obtain any reliable data, especially as to open yards ; but I have endeavoured to check them by extended inquiry, and to avoid overstating the result. The system of box-feeding is very similar to that of the covered homestead, but I think the latter has several advan- tages over it. The division into boxes entails some extra expense. The cattle being placed in yards inclosing 400 to 1000 square feet each, and only being tied up three times a day to receive their food, have room to move about, and to get just enough exercise to preserve their health, and not too much ; but where each is placed in a separate box, they have only just room to turn round. This distinction is particularly important in the case of young stock. If any of the manure is not perfectly well made, it is that in the corners, where it is not so much trodden ; in the yard this is a mere trifle, but in a box it amounts to a much larger proportion. Economy of Labour. This object is attained by the convenient arrangement of the several buildings with respect to each other, by general compactness of design, and by the introduction of steam power for threshing, grinding, chaff-cutting, &c. But before saying more on these points, let us consider that much debated question, of the comparative advantages of fixed and portable steam engines. On the one hand may be urged a considerable diminution of wear and tear, and 14 some saving of fuel, but against these must be set the disadvantao-e of beino- obHo'ed to brino- all the corn into the o o o o barn to be threshed. And at the present juncture, when steam cultivation appears to be on the eve of coming into extensive use, I cannot overlook the consideration, that a farmer coming into an occupation of 500 acres, would in all probability purchase a 10 or 12 horse-power engine for general jDurposes, including steam cultivation, as well as threshing, &c. I therefore propose to provide in the larger design a building for the reception of such an engine, and shafting to connect it with the chaff-cutter, cake-crusher, and root-pulper, and also with a pair of stones for grinding soft corn and beans for cattle. It may, however, be observed, that a fixed steam engine may, if preferred, be placed in the space allotted to the por- table one. Intimately connected with this subject is that of barn- room. Until the introduction of threshing machines, it was the fashion, as most of our old homesteads bear witness, whilst providing but scanty protection to the comparatively small head of cattle kept in those days, to expend a sum of money in building four or five enormous barns, which would, in some cases, have gone a long way towards purchasing the fee-simple of the farm. Now I am fully convinced, that with our present facilities for threshing, the practice of bringing the corn into the barn in harvest time is a bad one, and this for two reasons : if, as is usually the case on a large farm, some of the fields lie at a distance from the buildings, much time and strength, which can ill be spared, are consumed in leading home the corn. This may be saved by field stacks, which can afterwards be threshed out upon the spot. The sheaves arc generally fit to stack at least two or three days before they are dry 15 enough for the barn, and in unsettled weather tliis may make a serious difference. On the other hand, the barn saves the cost of thatching, and a few damaged sheaves in the roof of the stack, but these will be found, in comparison, very trifling items. I therefore assume that a portable engine will either be used at the stack side, or the stacks will be brought into the barn as the corn is required, and I propose to provide one barn capable of holding from 100 to 150 quarters of corn in the straw, which will be enough for two or three days' threshing ; believing as I do, both for the above reasons and from observing the practice of some of our best farmers, especially in Lincolnshire, that the erection of more is an unprofitable outlay. Turning now to the larger of the two designs, which is adapted for a farm of 500 acres, of which 300 to 400 are arable, it will be seen that it consists of a covered space 120 feet long by 72 feet wide, divided into yards for the reception of various descriptions of stock, separated from each other by concrete paths for feeding and other purposes, and inclosed by the other buildings. These yards are marked with the number and kind of stock they will accommodate, and which are Hkely to be required ; but it is one of the advantages of the system, that once having the space covered over, by slight alterations of detail the several yards may be varied in size, and fitted up for whatever description of stock the special circumstances of each farm may suggest. I have placed the colts and growing cattle near the entrance, where they cannot be too w^arm, and can be more easily let out, while the calves'-pens are in the darkest, quietest and warmest corner. A pig- gery is provided for breeding sows, with open yards, as they do best so ; but fatting hogs will thrive well in one of the 16 yards or in the calf-pens, if no calves are kept. The stable dung may be thrown out daily into the adjoining yards, where it will be trodden down by the stock with the rest of the litter, but if preferred, it may be wheeled into the ad- joining manure shed, into which the slight drainage from the piggeries is also convej^ed ; an arrangement which secures perfect economy of manure, whilst it saves the expense and trouble of a liquid manure tank. In these yards the labour of daily cleaning out stalls is saved, whilst on the other hand you have to tie up the beasts three times a day to feed, in order that each may get its own share of cake or meal. But they understand the object within a week, and after that, the time occupied in tying up is very trifling. Several loose boxes are provided, as they are always useful ; and a hospital or house for any animal that is ill, is placed quite out of the way of the other stock. The feeding arrangements are so contrived, that the houses for roots and chaff, and the grinding-room, where the meal, crushed cake, and bruised oats will be, open close together, into a room where the roots are pulped and mixed with chaff and meal or cake, and a pump close by supplies the yards with water. If there be no well, the water from the roofs can be collected in a reservoir ; otherwise it is con- veyed to the nearest pond. The water supply is arranged with a tap to each trough, because we find that in the self-regulating plan of having all the troughs on the same level and connected with open pipes, the pipes almost always get stopped up with (' chaff, &c. The room into which the portable engine is backed, has a concrete floor, with hollow places to fit the wheels, and a telescope chimney which draws down ; the ordinary chimney l3''ing in a horizontal position. The engine room is supphod v^'iih a pump and coal-store. The engine is connected by a strap, ^vith a shaft extending on both sides and placed far enough from it to prevent slip- ping. This drives an ordinary portable threshing machine, ■which is placed on the barn floor, the wheels fitting into hollows, which can be covered with iron plates in case two men thresh with flails, for which the floor is large enough. There is a corn room adjoining, into which the corn from the machine may be shot, to wait to be afterwards dressed and weighed up in the barn. The straw is raised by an elevator to the loft, which extends over the middle of the 3'ards, and from which it is thrown down with ease into any of them. This loft will hold 60 to 70 loads of straw, the bay of the barn holding 70 to 80 loads. If more is threshed at one time, it can be pushed along to the other end and thrown down into waggons, but if several stacks are to be threshed at once the machine will probably be placed beside them in the stack ^^ard. On the other hand, if straw is wanted when it is not convenient to thresh, it can be pitched up from a waggon into the south end of the loft. The straw loft also communicates with the room in which a chafi"- cutter is worked by another strap from the shaft, and the cut chaff falls down into the chaff-room below. Beyond is a granary which can be locked up, and in front of the granary door is a trap-door and shoot for supplying cake and corn to the grinding-room underneath. The grinding room communicates with the engine room, so that the same man can attend to the engine and to the mill. In this room three straps connect the shaft with a pair of millstones, an oat bruiser and a cake crusher. Neither a chaise house and nag stable nor a dairy are included, because I think the former cannot be considered as 18 strictly farm buildings, but should be built apart and with reference to the position of the farm house, of which the dairy should form a part. The smaller design is precisely similar in principle to the larger one, but more simple in construction, as the machi- nery is omitted. It is adaj)ted for a farm of 200 acres, of which f rds or jths are arable. The covered yards in the centre are 60 feet square, and if all appropriated to cattle, would accommodate at least 30 full-sized bullocks ; but a small portion is shown as fitted up for sheep and calves. The turnip-cutting and chaff-houses adjoin each other, and are conveniently j^laced for the yards and stable. The straw for litter is thrown down through an opening from the loft, over the granary and root houses, where also a hand chaff- cutter may be used, the cut chaff falling into the chaff-room below. The bay of the barn will hold 35 or 40 loads of corn in the straw. Both floor and bays are as^^halted, which will be found very convenient in dressing up corn, as well as in threshing. The other arrangements speak for themselves, and need no further explanation. In conclusion, either homestead should be placed on the north side of the farm house, and the latter should be so arranged that one of the parlour windows commands a full view of the open or south side.

In Columbus Atlas, folio size, price M. 10s. in extra cloth boards, embellished sides, THE CATHEDRAL OF THRONDHEIM, IN NORWAY. A limited number of copies exclusively cousigued from Christiana to Mr. Weale's care in England, by the Norwegian Government. Text by Professor P. A. Munch, drawings by H. E. Schiemer, Architect. Thirty-one fine plates, and eighteen -vig- nettes. The text in the Danish and English languages. The Norwegian clergy consisted chietiy of Englishmen or of Norwegians taught by Enghshmen, and wiio therefore were more strongly attached to the English Church. Nicholas Brekspere, Cardinal-bishop of iUbano, an EngUshmau by birth, arrived in Norway in 1152, where he found an assembly of temporal lords, &c. The episcopal sees in Iceland, Scalaholt, and Holar, the see of Greenland, that of the Feroer, the Islands of the Orkneys, with Shetland and of ilan, with the Sudreys or Western Islands, &c. The first glance at the several parts of the church is enough to show that while the nave, now in ruins, and the chancel, with the octangular Lady Chapel, belong to the i^eriod of the first pointed style, both transepts, on the contrary, bear all the characteristic marks of the Anglo-NoiTuan style Irom about 11(30, nearly the time when Augustine succeeded; we find also the style of the I3th century, viz., the early EugUsh or first pointed stjde. This cathedral is particularly interesting to England, both architecturally and historically, by the close iutmiacy with this country and Norway in rehgion and in kindred of blood; parts of Scotland, and the north and north-east of England have a common origin, and the united spirit of ancestry is manifested at the present time in the enterprise of science and arms of the Western World. The Cathedral of Throudheun is the most interesting ecclesiastical structure now existing in Norway, not only on account of its remains of ancient splendour, and its rich historical associations, but particularly because, previous to the introduction of Protestantism, it was the metropoUtan church of the kingdom, the resting-place of the national saint, and the centre of Christianity in Norway-. 4. It is proposed to pubhsh the Life and Works of the late ISAMBARD KINGDON BRUNEL, F.R.S., Civil Engineer. The genius, talent, and great enterprise of the late -Jr. Bi-unel has a world-wide fame, his whole Ufe was devoted alone to the science of his profession, not in imita- tion or copying others; but in invention. In finding out new roads to the onward advancement of his ^ii't, the hfting up from the slow and beating path of Engineering Art, new ideas and realities, and which has or have given to England, a name for reference and of renowned intcUigence in this Art.

The original sketches, drawings, and tracings, in pencil and pen and ink, of executed works and proposals, displajing the genius of Mons. Metivier, as an architect of high attainments, whose recent death ■was much regretted in Bavaria. He was a native of France, and was in- duced to settle in .Munich by the late Duke of Leuchtenberg, under whose patronage he was much employed in the construction of private edifices for the Bavarian nobility and gentry; and for decoration and fittings of them; his interiors are stiU in much admiration. He built a mansion for Prince Charles, in a most simple and elegant style (in Brienner Street), which is still now considered one of the purest buildings of Munich. The above sketches are his professional Ufe and practice. This unique collection is in 2 vols. 4:to, had its commencement in 1812, and contains upwards of 500 rich designs. Price 51. 5$.
