Pagina 257 - This being done, the cheese is again reversed into another vat, likewise warmed, with a cloth under it, and a tin hoop, or binder, put round the upper edge of the cheese, and within the sides of the vat; the former being previously inclosed in a cloth, and its edges put within the vessel.
Pagina 139 - Ibs. for each cow, mixed with a sufficient quantity of bean-straw, oat-straw, and shells of oats, in equal proportions, to supply them three times a day with as much as they will eat. The whole of the materials are moistened and blended together, and after being well steamed, are given to the animals in a warm state.
Pagina 212 - Stuart's white sugar were added, and a trivial portion of bicarbonate of soda — a teaspoonful — merely enough to insure the neutralizing of any acidity, which, in the summer season, is exhibited even a few minutes after milking, although inappreciable to the organs of taste. The sweet milk was poured into evaporating pans of enamelled iron, embedded in warm water heated by steam. A thermometer was immersed in each of these...
Pagina 368 - As several of these materials — rape-cake, shorts, bean-straw, etc. — are not commonly used as food, I may be allowed some observations on their properties.

Pagina 249 - It should be emptied of its contents, salted, and dried, without any scraping or rinsing, and kept dry for one year, when it will be fit for use. It should not be allowed to gather dampness, or its strength will evaporate. To prepare it for use, into ten gallons of water, blood warm, put ten rennets ; churn or rub them often for twenty-four hours ; then rub and press them to get the strength ; stretch, salt, and dry them, as before. They will gain strength for a second use.

The general mistake in crossing has arisen from an attempt to increase the size of a native race of animals ; being a fruitless effort to counteract the laws of nature.
Pagina 369 - During May, my cows are turned out on a rich pasture near the homestead ; towards evening they are again housed for the night, when they are supplied with a mess of the steamed mixture and a little hay each morning and evening. During June...
Pagina 365 - ON entering upon a description of my treatment of cows for dairy purposes, it seems pertinent that I should give some explanation of the motives and considerations which influence my conduct in this branch of my farm operations. I have found it stated, on authority deserving attention, that store cattle of a fair size, and without other occupation, maintain their weight and condition for a length of time, when supplied daily with 120 Ibs. of Swedish turnips and a small portion of straw. The experience...
Pagina 13 - ... stripes of white along the chine or ridge of their backs, about their flanks, and on their faces; their horns were high and crooked...
Pagina 213 - the steam engine is an arrangement of stirrers, for agitating the milk slightly while evaporating, and so gently as not to churn it. In about three hours the milk and sugar assumed a pasty consistency, and delighted the palates of all present. By constant manipulation and warming, it was reduced to a rich, creamy-looking powder, then exposed to the air to cool, weighed into parcels of a pound each...
