"What to take to the country in 1732. Found in, “The country housewife and lady's director, in the management of a house, and the delights and profits of a farm. Part II including a great variety of the most curious receipts ... To which is added from a poulterer in St. Jame's-Market, the manner of trussing all sorts of poultry…” Written by Richard Bradley."

Yeah, some strangeness going on.  There were several other sites that had a half gallon each of heavy cream and whole milk, but all other quantities the same.
