Thb country boasts tf 'he Armeriiins i are boi't paity andiTg'f.uud, and: sometimes cover :wrr y nn acre in exteat. The low, tnrfed ro:f is ( npported on a onmber of wooden pillars, *nd the! spac? beneath is mainly devo'ei to the j cow*, wbieb cjnstita'e the great-r parti o* the owuer's wpaHh. j Aroncd this great cow-stable the I living rooms for the family are coo■trnctcd, being divided by low ston: mils. The fireplacts are constrnctfd cf •vine, and the chimneys can I e closed, in which case the icttr'.or brccmes intaleiably close and t-toflf.
