Supposing, instead of heifers, that the dairy was stocked with cows of the second 

 and third calf, and the expence of keeping each estimated at sixpence, I think 

 10 wine quarts might reasonably be expected for 220 days, at the two meals.

I think this profit will not be over-estimated, but may fairly be looked for. The 

 quantity of straw consumed for fodder, &c. has so far exhausted my stock, as to 

 oblige me to adopt expedients for bedding both cattle and horses. The substitute 

 I have had recourse to is sea-sand, which I can obtain within a mile. I use it so 

 as to absorb all the urine, and expect it will be a very valuable manure for strong 

 ground. I use a thin covering of straw over it for horses.
