Query, Whether retaining the milk is not the 

 reafon why cows are more fubject to the yellows

 the future.

 it is cold, whether ox, cow, fheep, or pig, let them 

 be faded a day or two in a cool houfe. Kill them 

 in the evening, and as Toon as the fkin is taken 

 off, hang the carcafe between two door- ways where 

 there is a current of air. Then get a fan, fuch 

 as is ufed for winnowing corn, and place it to 

 windward of the carcafe, and let a man turn the fan 

 the whole night.

 faction will not immediately follow, becaufe the 

 fluids are at reft. Carcafe butchers, and people 

 that kill for the navy, would find their account 

 in having flaughter-houfes near to fome rivulet of 

 water, where a wheel might be placed to turn a 



fan,
