the dairyman and his family to live in, and allows 
him to keep as many pigs and poultry as he thinks 
proper, and the keep of a mare to carry out his but- 
ter, cc. which, by producing a foal yearly, is con- 
fidered a material advantage to the dairyman, who 
perhaps fells it when weaned, in November, for 
from eight to ten pounds. If the farmer is in- 
clined to let his dairy to another man, he gives the 
dairyman notice before All-Saints Day, and by cuf- 
tom the quarter of a year, from November to Fe- 
bruary, is deemed fufficient, and the dairyman 
quits the houfe and gives up his bargain the enfuing 
Candlemas. The dairies in general are managed 
_ by making all the cream into butter, and from the 
fkimmed milk, an inferior fort of cheefe, which 
fells from twenty-five to thirty fhillings per hundred 
weight in the county; and the butter, which is 
worth from cight-pence to ten-pence per pound, is 
in general falted down in tubs, and fupplies Portf- 
mouth and the London markets; but there is alfo 
made a confiderable quantity of the better fort of 
cheefe, which brings a price as high as thirty-feven 
fhillings, or two guineas per hundred weight. 
The grazing, however, in many other parts of 
the county, cannot be rated fo high as the vale of 
Blackmoor allows me to do, and it will be found 
nearer the true average upon the feeding land; that 
two acres will fummer a beaft, and that the profits 
no willt exceed three pounds per head. Some far-
