Obvious as thcfe inftances of bad management, 

 and the many difadvantages attending them, are, 

 tlie greatcft difficulty feems to be, that of making 

 farmers in general lb fenfible thereof as to induce 

 them to purfu^ the above eafy plan for redrefling 

 and removing them. I think it is out of the 

 reach of premiums j , but perhaps feme honorary 

 reward might (limulate the more intelHgent to 

 undertake fo neceflary a work ; and I am of the 

 opinion, that if a few would fet the example, others 

 would foon follow, and in time it might become 

 general. 



Some gentlemen farmers are very curious in the 

 breed of cows, and management of their (lock on 

 dairy farms. Such will, doubtlefs, improve on 

 any hints that may be communicated through the 

 Bath Society. 



Much depends on the choice. of cows, and the 

 care taken to mend their breed, and increafe their 

 milk. Cows of a red and black colour are pre- 

 ferable to white, of which not more than one fhould 

 be admitted in a dairy. Heifers, intended for 

 breeding, fhould not be bulled till the fourth year. 

 The third, fourth, and fifth calves are the moft 

 robuft, and of courfe the bed to breed from.
