HUNDRED YEARS AGO TO-DAY
A MESON CHRONOLOGY 15th October, 1843: Our survey house is of mud and is in a very expensive form from the roof being so large. From my experience I am convinced that the cheapest plan is to lay the house out only one room deep, with the chimneys back to back. Where wood is at hand, poles can be put up cheaper than clay. 1 would have the poles 4 inches in diameter, and put as close together as they would stand, leaving the chinks only to be stopped up with clay. —Barnicoat Diary.
