Milk and Butter from a Cow, 1 25 



sickness, or bad milking. Let the milk stand two days in summer, and three days 

 in winter, before it is skimmed. I have stated no more than one penny per quart 

 for skim milk, but I am informed it sells in the town of Lewes for three halfpence, 

 it being worth one penny to put in the hog tub. I fattened two hogs in the sum- 

 mer with no other food than skim milk and grains, making them very good meat, 

 weighing j6 or 18 stone each, at 81b. per stone. Where cows are kept in this 

 ■way, hogs should be kept, as the milk will be (in the summer time), thick and sour, 

 and fit for nothing else but hogs. The people of this country making no use of it 

 as food. 



The following is the Pedigree of the Cow in question, which I received from 

 Mr. Holman, a respectable farmer at Bentley, in the County of Sussex. 



The cow belonging to Mr. Cramp, was bred by John Holman (my father) at 

 Bentley in Framfield in the county of Sussex, from a Sussex bred cow, also bred 

 by John Holman, on the same farm. She was got by a bull bred by Mr. Colgate 

 at Hampstead farm in Framfield aforesaid; the father of which bull was also bred 

 by Mr. Colgate, for which he obtained a prize cup at Petworth, on the 20th day 

 of November 1796. She was calved in March 1799.

N.B. My cow calved on the 19th day of April, the calf in very fair condition; 

 the cow having been dry for seventeen days only, was taken bad with the yellows at 

 the very time of calving, but is now recovered, and going on very well. The calf 

 sold at twelve days old for £ 1. 10s,
