it to the pigs ; and that which is conveyed to the 

 dairy-houfe fliould remain in the pail till it is nearly 

 cool, before it be ftrained ; I mean if the weather 

 be warm; but in frody weather it fhould be im- 

 mediately ftrained, and a fmall quantity of boiling 

 water may be mixed with it, which will caufe it to 

 produce cream in abundance, and the more [b, if 

 the pans or vats have a large furface. 



During the hot fummer months, it is right to 

 rife with or before the fun, that the cream may be 

 fkimm'd from the milk ere the dairy becomes 

 warm ; nor fliould the milk at that feafon ftand 

 longer in the vats, &c. than twenty-four hours, nor 

 be fkimm'd in the evening till after fun-fet. In 

 ■winter milk may remain unfkimm'd for thirty-fix 

 or forty-eight hours; the cream fliould be depofited 

 in a deep pan, which fliould be kept during the 

 fummer in the coolefl: part of the dairy; or in a 

 cool cellar where a free air is admitted, which is fl:ill 

 better. Where people have not an opportunity of 

 churning every other day, they fliould fliift the 

 cream daily into clean pans, which will keep it 

 cool, but they fhould never fail to churn at leaft 

 twice in the week in hot weather; and this work 

 fliould be done in a morning before the fun ap- 

 pears; taking care to fix the churn where there is a 

 free draught of air. If a pump-churn be to be 



ufed.
