hood, many dairy-women who had not, even I&8. 

 in September, one thoroughly found new-milk CHEESE. 

 cheefe in their dairies. 



A remedy for this evil would be a valuable 

 difcovery to the Eaft Norfolk farmer ; for al- 

 though Eaft Norfolk is not properly fpeaking a 

 dairy country, there are a great number of cows 

 kept in it ; not only for its home confump- 

 tion of butter and cheefe, but for the pur- 

 pofe of rearing bullocks for the London 

 market. 



The only remedy praclifexl here, in com- 

 mon, is to place in the cheefe -chamber large 

 boughs, on which the flics fettle. The boughs 

 being loaded with flies, ere taken into another 

 room, and beaten upon the floor; by which 

 means numbers may be deftroyed ; numbers, 

 however, are ftill left behind ; and while there 

 is one fly in the room, a defective cheefe is 

 not fafe. 



This mifchievous animal, whether in its fly 

 or maggot ftate, is very difficult to be de- 

 flroyed, without aftnally crufhing it. By way 

 of experiment, fhut up the cheefe-chamber as 

 clofe as poffible ; and burnt in it not lefs than 

 four or five ounces of fulphur ; caufing a fume 

 powerful enough to have ftifled an elephant ;
