A36288	Husbandry anatomized, or, An enquiry into the present manner of teiling and manuring the ground in Scotland for most part and several rules and measures laid down for the better improvement thereof, in so much that one third part more increase may be had, and yet more than a third part of the expence of the present way of labouring thereof saved / by Ja.

therefore_o i_o will_v recommend_v to_o all_o stock-keeper_n or_o other_o that_o keep_v cattle_n to_o keep_v no_o more_o than_o plentiful_o they_o can_v maintain_v i_o offer_v to_o make_v it_o

that_o be_v for_o bring_v up_o of_o horse_n i_o will_v advise_v if_o their_o stock_n can_v rea●h_v it_o to_o provide_v themselves_o in_o what_o mare_n they_o resolve_v to_o keep_v for_o brood_n choice_n they_o of_o good_a shape_n &_o other_o good_a property_n then_o let_v the_o horse_n or_o stallion_n be_v the_o best_a that_o possible_o may_v be_v have_v the_o brood_n can_v hardly_o choose_v but_o to_o resemble_v the_o sire_n and_o dame_n and_o a_o foal_n of_o a_o good_a kind_n require_v no_o great_a expense_n in_o upbr_v than_o that_o of_o the_o worst_a therefore_o what_o ever_o the_o best_a can_v be_v sell_v at_o more_o than_o the_o worst_a so_o much_o be_v your_o profit_n thereby_o then_o let_v your_o mare_n be_v serve_v only_o once_o in_o two_o year_n for_o a_o mare_n that_o be_v give_v suck_v can_v be_v in_o good_a condition_n to_o breed_v one_o in_o her_o belly_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o seldom_o will_v you_o see_v a_o foal_n bring_v up_o upon_o the_o dame_n that_o be_v with_o foal_n but_o it_o be_v much_o weak_a than_o that_o which_o be_v bring_v up_o on_o she_o wh●n_a no●_n with_o foal_n beside_o the_o mar●_n herself_o and_o the_o foal_n in_o her_o

now_o insist_v because_o i_o speak_v something_o of_o they_o chap._n 3_o i_o again_o recommend_v th●s_n as_o a_o principle_n that_o can_v never_o be_v enough_o inculcat_fw-la keep_v what_o number_n soever_o your_o ground_n can_v mantain_n sufficient_o and_o no_o more_o yea_o let_v there_o be_v rather_o three_o want_v of_o your_o number_n of_o cattle_n then_o half_a a_o soume_n keep_v more_o upon_o your_o grass_n than_o enough_o what_o be_v that_o which_o make_v cattle_n in_o other_o place_n to_o be_v more_o tall_a and_o strong_a then_o common_o they_o be_v through_o this_o kingdom_n but_o because_o they_o be_v feed_v more_o plentiful_o and_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v young_a to_o feed_v well_o be_v a_o great_a mean_a of_o strengthen_v cattle_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o stock_n to_o thriu●_v spare_v not_o to_o give_v your_o calf_n milk_n abundance_n when_o they_o be_v young_a whether_o you_o feed_v they_o with_o milk_n or_o let_v they_o suck_v the_o

you_o must_v supply_v their_o diet_n with_o broth_n mix_v with_o the_o milk_n you_o give_v they_o for_o cow_n that_o will_v not_o give_v their_o milk_n but_o to_o their_o own_o calf_n or_o at_o

use_v they_o not_o to_o that_o base_a custom_n when_o any_o cow_n seem_v to_o be_v fond_a upon_o her_o calf_n let_v it_o not_o suck_v she_o at_o all_o and_o though_o she_o kick_v or_o make_v stir_n at_o first_o when_o you_o begin_v to_o milk_v she_o yet_o by_o tie_v of_o her_o foot_n or_o use_v other_o mean_n to_o restrain_v she_o from_o hinder_v you_o to_o milk_v she_o after_o a_o short_a

as_o in_o the_o follow_a line_n to_o i_o seem_v so_o plausible_a that_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o may_v have_v as_o good_a butter_n and_o cheese_n in_o this_o kingdom_n by_o follow_v the_o like_a measure_n as_o ready_o be_v to_o be_v have_v any_o where_o but_o take_v the_o account_n as_o follow_v in_o make_v of_o butter_n take_v what_o milk_n you_o have_v of_o your_o cow_n at_o one_o mai●_n and_o put_v it_o in_o a_o churn_n or_o other_o ves●e●_n by_o itself_o after_o it_o be_v well_o strain_v let_v it_o stand_v in_o some_o cold_a place_n twenty_o four_o hour_n or_o thereabouts_o if_o you_o have_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o fill_v yo●●_n churn_v then_o may_v you_o churn_v it_o but_o if_o you_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o fill_v your_o churn_n you_o may_v keep_v it_o till_o you_o

competent_a judge_n therein_o and_o in_o reason_n good_a butter_n can_v be_v expect_v of_o milk_n that_o be_v spoil_v if_o it_o be_v here_o answer_v by_o any_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o gather_v of_o their_o milk_n some_o considerable_a time_n because_o all_o the_o quantity_n they_o have_v at_o a_o mail_n or_o two_o will_v not_o fill_v their_o churn_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v let_v they_o proportion_v their_o churn_n to_o their_o milk_n for_o any_o quantity_n whatsoever_o above_o a_o chopin_n may_v be_v churn_v and_o if_o it_o be_v less_o i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a your_o

be_v the_o cause_n why_o cheese_n be_v not_o universal_o good_a in_o this_o kingdom_n be_v because_o the_o cream_n be_v gather_v off_o the_o milk_n before_o the_o cheese_n be_v thereof_o make_v &_o indeed_o in_o no_o place_n where_o this_o custom_n be_v follow_v can_v the_o cheese_n be_v good_a for_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v you_o can_v sell_v the_o cow_n and_o sup_v the_o milk_n butter_n and_o cheese_n of_o the_o same_o milk_n can_v be_v reasonable_o expect_v without_o as_o much_o loss_n on_o the_o one_o as_o there_o be_v benefit_n by_o the_o other_o that_o which_o i_o suppose_v may_v be_v one_o chief_a cause_n why_o woman_n take_v this_o method_n be_v because_o they_o think_v little_o less_o butter_n have_v they_o off_o the_o cream_n than_o if_o they_o do_v churn_v all_o

about_o they_o as_o may_v retain_v it_o i_o take_v care_n that_o it_o be_v keep_v in_o a_o trough_n or_o deep_a hole_n at_o the_o lower-end_n of_o the_o cow-house_n or_o stable_a and_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v carry_v then●e_n to_o the_o dunghill_n and_o pour_v it_o out_o there_o for_o doubtless_o there_o be_v as_o much_o strength_n or_o pith_n in_o piss_n as_o in_o dung_n again_o if_o there_o
