These openings are 12 in. square. The frames are covered with muslin and they are set in the openings during the winter. Overhead the boards are 2 in. apart, and 12 in. of straw is kept above them.

The latter windows have mus- lin in the lower part of the sash (c) instead of glass. The door is in the west end near the back of the house. The droppings boards are along the north side.
