Great pait of the Epping butter is made from 

 cows that feed during the fummer months in Ep- 

 ping foreft, where the leaves and fhrubby plants 

 contribute greatly to the flavour of the butter. 

 The mountains of Wales, the highlands of Scot- 

 land, and the moors, commons, and heaths in 

 England, produce excellent butter where it is pro- 

 perly managed ; and though not equal in quantity, 

 yet far fuperior in quality, to that which is produced 

 from the richcft meadows; and the land is often 

 blamed when the butter is bad through mifmanage- 

 ment, fluttiflmefs, or inattention. 



Turnips and rape affed milk and butter, but 

 brewers' grains are fvveet and wholfome food, and 

 will make cows give abundance of milk; yet the 

 cream thereon will be thin, except good hay be 

 given at the fame time, after every meal of grains. 



Colevvorts and cabbages are alfo excellent food: 

 and if thefe and favoys were cultivated for this 

 purpofc, the farmers in general would find their 

 account in it. 



Cows fliould never be fuffered to drink impro- 

 per water; ftagnated pools, water wherein frogs, 

 &c. fpawn, common fewers, and ponds that re- 

 ceive the drainings of flables, are improper.
