desired, the whole of the milk is churned, without 

 separating any cream ; the milk is kept in the churn 

 or barrel for two or three days till it beg-ins to get

I shall conclude with Wilkinson's excellent marks, 

 by which every one may soon learn how to choose 

 his cow ; which I should have thought about liefore 

 I gave you a dissertation on her milk and liutter, 

 for the same reason that a cook's receipt for dressing 

 a round of beef begins with " first get the beef." 



She's lon^ in her face, she's fine in her hora, 

 She'll quickly get fat without cake or corn ; 

 She's clear in her jaws, full in her chine, 

 She's heavy in flank, and ^nde in her loin. 



She's hroad in her ribs, and long in her rump, 

 A straight and flat back, ^\^th never a huinp ; 

 She's wide in her liips, and calm in her eyes, 

 She's fine in lier shoulders, and thin in her thighs. 



She's light in her neck, and small in her tail, 

 She's wide in her breast, and good at the pail 

 She's fine in her bone, and silky of skin, 

 She's a grazier's ^^•itl^out, and a butcher's witliin.

Regard the labours of the Bee 



Example meet of industry ; 



Although he roves through Summer flowers, 



'Tis not to waste in play his hours, 



But to collect a precious hoard 



Of honey, for his winter board ; 



Your grateful care of him then douljle, 



And he'll reward you for your trouble. 



No small holder who has a garden, should be 

 without heex ; experience has taught us that furze, 

 broom, mustard, beans, clover, heath, fruit trees, dice.
