The cheefe-dairy fhould in the fame manner be ccnftituted 
of three rooms 5 one for the reception of the milk 5; anather 
for the fealding and prefiing of the cheefe ; and a third for 
the purpofe of falting it in nd in addition, rae aig 
tobea or the “fhowing of the cheefe, which m ‘on-

' It is utterly impoffible to condu& the dairy ee with 
propriety and due adv vantage, except where a place f{uitable 
for preferving the milk, and for performing the various oper- 
ations in, be firft provided. In order that an equable tem- 
perature may prevail at all feafons of the year in this fort of

m the general difficulty of obtaining thefe ae

detached building fhould be erected or converted to the “a

fru a fort of range of narrow buildings, as fhewn in 
the sound. plan at fig. 1. in Plate XII. of Agriculture, in 
which the middle divifion, A, is the proper milk-houfe 
room; that fhewn at B, is intended to ferve as a room for 
cleaning, and laying up the different peels utenfils in ; 
and that at C, is defigned as a ftore-room, in whic

It is advited that ae walis of the middle divifion hhould be

fixed in it, as to be capable of being opened or fhut at plea-

clofed by means of two giazed frames, one on the outfide at

the great thickuefs of the walls, the thatch of the reof, and
