As this is a Dairy farm without- any tillage, the 

 tenant, with two able-bodied men fervants, are 

 quite fufficient to manage the bufinefs of it in all 

 its branches. 



The only probable obje6tion that can be raifed 

 againft this account, will be founded on a doubt 

 whether 37 cwt. of cheefe at il. i6s. per cwt. may 

 not be too much for an average quantity per cow, 

 and price per cwt. In anfwer to which, if the Bath 

 Agriculture Society fliould think proper to offer any 

 trifling premium in order to difcover the fadt, I 

 could produce one Jacob Amefbury, a dairy farmer, 

 now living at Bleadon in the county of Somerfer, 

 who from twenty cows, fummer fed on twenty-five 

 acres of rich land, made 90 cwt. of cheefe the year 

 paft, which cheefe was fold to a Mr. Carter, fac- 

 tor, in Briftol, at 2I, 4s. per cwt. and one guinea 

 over, amounting together to the fum of 199L is. 

 which is near lol. per cow, upon an average, for 

 cheefe only. 



I will very readily anfwer any queftions by way 

 of explaining any thing doubtful, eidier in this or 

 my former letter defcriptive of the flat part of 

 Somerfetfhire. 



I am, dear Sir, your moft obedient 



And obliged humble fervant, 



R. LOCKE.
