cafes where milk is converted into cheefe, the produce 
which is afforded b e cows is ftated in very different 
ways, in different diftri€s where this fort of practice i is pur- 
fued. In fome 24 cw. from each cow, whether good or 
bad miikers, is fuppofed a very good average annual return. 
In others it is ftated to be three hundred weight, and from 
that to three and an half, and even four. Rudge, in- 
decd, flates it to rife in the Gloucefterfhire dairies fo high as 
from three hundred and a half to four"hundred and a helf 
weight in the feafon

forts of tatement are very uncertain, from the great dif-

that oi its value as a food for

to ten hogs, of nine or ten fcore each, are ufually kept to 
twenty cows. But where hogs are not kept, the whey is 
’ valued and fold at two pounds per annum. See Swine.
