MAY 17. In the courfe of laft fummer I BUTTER. 

 likewife paid confiderable attention to the art 

 of making butter ; regiftering, at the time of 

 cbfervatton, the minutiae of the different pro- 

 ccfles. 



In the producYion of good butter, much no 

 doubt depends on foil and herbage -, and fome- 

 thing, perhaps, on the fpecies of ctnso : much, 

 neverthelefs, depends upon management. 



The different ftages of the art are, 



i. Milking the cow. 



t. Setting the milk. 



3. Preferring the cream. 



4. Churning. 



5. Making up the butter, for prefent ufe-. 



6. Putting it down, for future ufe. 



i. Milking. Cleanlincfs is the bafts of the 

 whole art. A dairy-maid Ihould not be fuffe'red 

 to fit down under a cow with a pail which a 

 fine lady would fcruple to cool her ten in ; nor 

 until fhe has wafhed the teat of the cow and 

 her own hands : and for this purpofe <:lean wa- 

 ter and a cloth fhould always be at hand.
