In this cafe, it is believed the lofs of cream will 

 be nearly in proportion to the time that has elapfed, 

 and the agitation it has fuftained after being drawn 

 from the cow. But I am not as yet in polTefTion of 

 any experiments that fufficiently afcertain how 

 much is to be afcribed to the time, and the agita- 

 tion, taken feparately. On every branch of agri- 

 culture we find experiments wanting at each flep 

 we advance in our enquiries. The labours of no 

 one man can complete the whole ; but it is the duty 

 of every enquirer to point out as he goes along 

 where they are wanted. 



From the above fadls the following corollaries 

 feem to be clearly deducible : 



ift. It is of importance that the cows fliould be 

 always milked as near the dairy as poffible, to pre- 

 vent the neceflity (5f carrying and cooling the milk 

 before it be put into the dillies; and as cows are 

 much hurt by far-driving, it mull be a great ad- 

 vantage in a dairy farm to have the principal grafs 

 fields as near the dairy, or homefted, as poflible. .^ 



idly. The pradtice of putting the milk of all the 

 cows of a large dairy into one veficl, as it is milked, 

 there to remain till the whole milking be finiihed be- 

 fore any part of it is put into the milk pans, feems 

 to be highly injudicious, not only on account of the 



lofs
