JANUARY. I/ 



and I tried it with equal success. His account is 

 this : "I have for some time entertained an idea 

 that skimmed milk might be prepared with pro* 

 per ingredients, effectually to answer the purpose, 

 where the practice is to give new milk from the 

 cow, and at about a third of the expence. The 

 articles are treacle, and the common lint-seed 

 oil-cake, ground very fine, almost to an impalpa- 

 ble powder, and the quantities so small, that to 

 make thirty -two gallons would cost no more, 

 exclusive of the milk, than about sixpence. It 

 mixes very readily, and almost intimately, with 

 the milk, making it more rich and mucilaginous, 

 without giving it any disagreeable taste. Take 

 one gallon of skimmed milk, and in about a pint 

 of it add half an ounce of common treacle, 

 stirring it till it is well mixed ; then take one 

 ounce of lint-seed oil -cake finely pulverized, and 

 with the hand let it fall gradually in very small 

 quantities into the milk, stirring it in the mean 

 time with a spoon or ladle, until it be thoroughly 

 incorporated ; then let the mixture be put into the 

 other ^jart of the milk, and the whole made nearjy 

 as warm as new milk from the cow. After a time, 

 the quantity of oil-cake may be increased.'* 



THE DAIRY. 



Mrs. Chevallier, a lady very attentive to a Very 

 successful dairy, remarks, that in winter, it is a 

 good way to add hot water to milk, directly as it 

 comes from the cow ; it makes it yield the qream 



c better.
