1 08. but not a fly Buffered by \\..Agam t put a 

 ciJLi : s . I: ' flice of cheeie affefted by the maggot, into 



fome boiling water, immediately from the 

 tea-kettle: let it lie a few minutes in the 

 water : took it out and broke it : the maggots 

 were, to every appearance, as much alive as if 

 they had riot been in the w^ter 1 -It is in 

 vain, therefore, to think of deftroying thq 

 animal; for, although the fly may be eafily 

 killed by hand or otherwife, and, with a little 

 pains, the dairy and cheefe-chamber might 

 for a moment be cleared ; yet, from the 

 numbers which are bred in the neighbour- 

 hood, the very air is filled with them ; and 

 the room, of cor.rfe$ prefcntly replenilhed : 

 therefore, the only way left of avoiding 

 the lofs is to endeavour to find out fomc 

 . means of defending the cheefes themfelves 

 againfl the attacks of thefe deftructive ene- 

 mies. 



Thefe means, I flatter myfelf, are fully 

 pointed out in the practice I am now regifter- 



The firft week or ten days, the 

 catrefes are carefully turned once a day ; great 

 care being had not to break the yet tender rind 

 ID turning } nor to fuffcr it to be cracked by
