A speedy way to increase their Milk.

Change their Pasture, if you find their Udders are dry∣ing up, or that they give but little; but let it be short and sweet, nothing inferiour, but rather exceeding that they are removed from; for, indeed, nothing increases Milk in Ews more than change of Pasture, and fresh feed∣ing; and if the Ground give opportunity, drive them one while to the Hills; and then again to the Valleys, and where it is sweetest, and short, they will eat with the best Appetite; there see they continue longest; and to bring their Milk down apace, give them mingled with short Grass, or short Hay, Fitches, Dill, Anniseeds, and the like, and their Milk will spring apace.
