                      RECIPE.
Take one gallon of skimmed milk, and
in about a pint of it add half an ounce of
common treacle (melasses) stirring it un-
til it is well mixed. Then take one ounce
of linseed oil cake well powdered, and with
the hand let it fall gradually, in very small
quantities, into the milk, stirring it in the
mean time with a spoon or ladle, until it
be thoroughly incorporated. Then let the
mixture be put into the other part of the
milk, and the whole be made as nearly
warm as new milk, when it is first taken
from the cow, and in that state it is fit for 
use.
N. B. The quantity of the oil cake
powdered, may, from time to time, be in-
creased as occasion may require, and as
the calf becomes inured to the flavour of
it.
