at London from one Ihilling to fourteen-pence pei* 

 pound averdupoifc, I prefume it will not be deemed 

 improper to recommend farmers to adopt the me- 

 thod of making fuch butter; I Ihall alfo add what 

 I have gathered from upwards of twenty years ex- 

 perience, part of which time I relided, and occupied 

 a large farm, in the neighbourhood of Epping. I 

 have fince been a refident in the county of Somerfet. 

 And in both counties we could in general obtain 

 one halfpenny or penny per pound more for our 

 butter than the general market-price. 



Before I proceed to point out the method of 

 making the butter, it may not be improper to fay 

 fomething concerning the Dairy-Houfe, which 

 fhould always be kept in the neateft order, and fo 

 (ituated as that the windows or lattices never front 

 the fouth," fouth-eaft, or fouth-weft ; lattices are alfo 

 to be preferred to windows, as they admit a more 

 free,circulation of the air than glazed lights poflibly 

 can do. It has been objeded, that they admit cold 

 air in winter, and the fun in fummer ; but the re- 

 medy is eafily obviated, by making a frame thefize 

 or fomewhat larger than the lattice, and conftrudt- 

 ing it fo as to Aide backward and forward at plea- 

 fure; pack-thread drained acrofs this frame, and 

 oiled cap paper parted thereon, will admit the light, 

 and keep out the fun and wind.
