Description "AN IRISH FARM IN COUNTY DONEGAL. We have here a representation of a type of house common to many parts of Ireland. It cannot be said that it is a very attractive looking residence, but neither the wealth nor the position of the inmates must bejudged by theexterior of the dwelling. Many Irish families living in houses smaller and moreunLempt than that in the illustration are fairly well-to-do. In the foreground are seen some of the principal sources of the family income; the rough harrow, the spinning wheels used in the manufacture of homespun, the "gentleman who pays the rent" (or, to be more precise, his family), and the odoriferous but valuable midden. The love of an Irishman for his cabin, however small, is almost proverbial."
