it has likewise four teats, whilst all other animals of the 
same nature have but two ; it also yields the rnilk freely 
to the hand, whilst all other animals, at least those that 
do not ruminate in the same manner, refuse it, unless their 
young, or some adopted animal, be allowed to partake it. 
The age of the Cow is known by her horns ; at four a 
ring is formed at their roots, and every succeeding year 
another ring is added. Thus, by allowing three years 
before their appearance, and then reckoning the number 
of rings, the creature's age may be exactly known. 
Calves, when quite young, are helpless creatures, from 
the great length and weakness of their legs. Sometimes 
they are killed when young, and then their flesh is called 
veal. The stomach of the calf when it is killed, is taken 
out, and cleaned and salted ; it is then hung up to dry, 
and is called rennet. When it is wished to make cheese, 
a bit of rennet is soaked in water, and the water is put 
to milk, which it turns to curd. The curd is then sepa- 
rated from the whey, and put into a press, when it be- 
comes cheese.
