Fig. 999 is a plan of the cellar floor, in which a is the wine, cider, and beer cellar ; b, the cabbage or green vegetable cellar; c, the bakehouse and wash-house, with a square supporting post; and d, the potato-cellar, also with a post. In the bakehouse there are an oven, e, and a stove, f, which might be employed for heating the whole house. The foundations of the stairs to the principal entrance, and for descending to the cellars, are shown at v; those of the back door and staircase at w ; of a. small storehouse or fruit-room at p; of the implement-shed at q ; of the shed for wood at r ; and of the cesspool of the two privies at t. Fig. 1000 is a plan of the principal floor, in which g is the kitchen, with its dresser and post, z, and sink stone, u; h is the parlour, with its double-sized or best bed, n-hich in French farm houses is but seldom used, the whole family sleeping together in one large bed-room, I ; or the master and mistress using the stranger's bed-room, m ; i is the master's office, or place of business, the window of which ought to command the entrance gate to the farmery, and does so in the plan, fig. 997 ; k is a clothes-press, or linen and china closet ; /, the children's bed-room, and room for sewing-work {chamhre de couture) ; m, stranger's room ; n, light closet ; o, pantry ; p, fruit-room ; 7, shed for all the agri- cultural implements used on the farm ; r, shed for wood and other domestic purposes ; w, staircase to the upper floor. In the centre of the building may be seen the octagonal funnel which receives the heated air from the stove in the cellar, and communicates with the parlour and the two bed-rooms through the lateral openings. Fig. 1001 is a jjlan of the upper floor, in which are seen the sleeping-room for servants, and general lumber- room, V ; place for drying linen, w ; and reserve bed-room, x. Fig. 1002 is the plan of the joists of the principal floor. In this plan the situation of the upright posts may be observed, from which it will be evident that neither girders nor joists are required of a greater length than ten feet. Fig. 1003 is an elevation of the entrance front. Fig. 1004 is an elevation of one side, in which may be seen the entrance porch, and stair to the principal floor, c, and the projection behind containing the staircase, d. Fig. 1005 is a longitudinal section through the bed-rooms, in which may be seen two stoves, e e, one in each bed-room ; the door of the oven, f, and of the ash-pit under it, p ; the stairs up to the principal floor, h, and down to the cellar, i ; the inside stair to the bcer-ccllar, k ; the stair to the principal floor, I; and to the floor above, m. In showing in what manner this dwelling is but an extension of that detailed in § 742, Morel- Vind^ remarks that the kitchen has the addition of a pantry ; that the stove in the centre, which ought I0 warm, dry, and ventilate the whole house, is enlarged in proportion to the dimensions of the rooms which it has to heat; and that the air which supplies coiubustion in this stove.
