The average quantity of milk for each cow, 6 quarts; this is owing to the summer 

 calvers, which are included in the stock : 8 quarts may be estimated on a moderate 

 computation; this would have added 55. per day, or £55. upon the whole period. 

 A well selected dairy might reach 10 quarts, which would make an addition nf £ioo. 

 The next year I expect to have a better set, and do not fear making £'200. by 

 the same number. November, is as early as a winter dairy should begin; till that. 

 * 6d. Is charged, as some had no oil-cake, and cost only 3|(/. per day.
