y/hich leaves a clear profit of about 5I. 8s. |d, upon each 

 cow. 



This much however is to be obferved, that the calculation 

 ftands upon a fuppofition, and according to the generality of 

 cows throughout the neighbourhood ; that the dairy in 

 quedion is of the moft uniform and prime quality, and that 

 it is alfo under the mofl fkilful and attentive management. 



Where almoft every breed of cows in the kingdom com- 

 pofe the dairy, and where a lefs attention is paid to the 

 feeding and management of them, the farmers are extremely 

 unwilling to allow that the average produce of their cows 

 in butter exceeds 4 lbs. per week during the forty weeks 

 they are in milk, or i6olbs. per annum for each cow. To 

 this diminution of profit in the article of butter, frora the 

 fmaller quantity of milk, is further to be added a lofs that 

 is neceflarily fuftained in the feeding of a lefs number of 

 pigs, and which upon the whole will be found to reduce 

 the net profit to about 3I. per cow ; but even on this view 

 of the fubjedl, and which is furely confidering it at the very 

 loweft ebb, the dairy bufinefs will prove far more beneficial 

 than that of the common mode of fuckling, a truth clearlf 

 illuftratcd by the following example.
