34 Cheap Supply of Milk. 



He commenced a plan for supplying Dumfries 

 with milk, on the system pursued at the Schoose 

 Farm, near Workington, whence he took the 

 hint, and where it has always made a fair return. 

 I am sorry to understand his good intentions 

 have not succeeded. 



The principal object, and greatest difficulty, 

 is that of providing a proper and constant suc- 

 cession of food. The manner in which this is 

 to be accomplished can only be discovered by 

 practice. 



Mr. Harley made a similar effort about the 

 same time at Glasgow, and has had the satisfac- 

 tion of carrying it advantageously on to a great 

 extent. 



The comfort afforded to the labouring classes 

 by a cheap supply of milk, makes this one of the 

 most delightful branches of farming. 



A gentleman at Manchester also informs me, 

 he has begun a dairy for the like meritorious 

 purpose, and has every prospect of its answer- 

 ing the beneficial design which he has in view : 

 had my farming never embraced any other 

 object, I should not have thought my time and 

 attention to it ill bestowed.
