This kanji is kind of obsolete - hence zero stars! - but you need it to say "countryside" and it's also useful as a radical. Plus it helps to remember 'countryside' if you know the last kanji is 'stable.'

I SHALL lean out of the veranda of my opulent mansion and make fun of your humble stable.

Mnemonic

A stable is nothing more than a peaked roof propped up over an earth floor, (with no walls) and an animal's mouth inside, eating and snoring.
