A letter to Manchester Agriculture Society describes using four cream kept free from taint to prevent butter taint when cows feed on cabbages and turnips. It discusses acetous fermentation, frequent churnings, and a cautionary note on limited trials, plus a fencing method for fruit trees using lime and farmyard manure, claimed to deter cattle without rails or thorns.
