anfi It has struck me. that the sugar wash might be found of 
5 cattle S reat service for boding the hay. 
teamed As I have never seen an instance when cooked food has not 
produced a striking improvement in the condition of cattle, I 
am strongly prepossessed in its favour. My representations 
have had their effect with one gentleman, Mr. Isaac Frank- 
Jyn, who has a dairy farm at Oxgate, on the Edgware Road, 
4| miles from Paddington turnpike j and who lately had a dairy 
in Henrietta Street, Cavendish Square. An apparatus made 
here, is on T its way for him. 
In order more fully to satisfy the Society, that this statement 
does not rest on a prejudice, natural to every projector of any 
plan, I beg to refer to Mr. Tubbs, who on seeingthe dairy at the 
Schoose this summer, was so struck with the condition of the 
cattle, that he promised to use his influence with Mr. Welling, 
to attend the meeting in September. Nor shall I rest on the 
respectable authority of Mr. Tubbs only ; but refer also to Sir 
George Paul, Bart., who will recollect, that before he saw the 
milch cows, I observed to him, that if the condition of the 
whole stock did not surpass any he had ever seen, I was ready 
to admit my system had failed. I need scarcely observe, that 
the strictest attention is necessary to see the cows always kept 
clean, and never to suffer the least heat to appear upon their 
skins, without an immediate application of black soap and 
water. They are also regularly carded or curried, and care 
taken in keeping them in a regular degree of temperature. Any 
considerable change affects their milking. I gave cooked food 
from October to June, nearly eight months out of the twelve. 
No branch of farming is so profitable as the dairy, when 
properly and weli managed. By the mode I propose, I flatter 
myself there would not only be a great saving in expense of 
feeding, but also in the depreciation and loss sustained on the 
capital, with an augmentation in the quantity and quality of the 
milk j I find that twelve wine quarts of the Schoose milk, will 
give from sixteen to eighteen ounces of butter, which is little 
inferior to what can be got at the height of the grass. Much, 
in my humble opinion, is to be gained both by the individual 
and public. 
Milk in London, from its present price, must be considered 
as a luxury. Reduce the expense of procuring it, lower the 
price/
