To the Eleventh, — The comparative advantage 

 of oxen is great where they are bred by the farmer 

 who ufes them, and fed on commons in fummer, 

 and on flraw in winter, till three years old, (but not 

 fo much where they are bred in inclofed lands, or 

 bought at four years old) and worked till fix or 

 feven ; they are lefs liable to ficknefs than horfes; 

 and if accidents befal them, they are of fome value. 

 Two oxen will do more work than one horfe of 

 equal value with them, nearly in proportion as fix 

 to four, and they coft lefs in keep. 



'To the Tioelfth. — In places fubje6l: to rot flieep, 

 fold them before the dew falls, and keep them in 

 fold till it exhales, in fpring and fummer; in winter 

 attend to this as much as the weather will admit; 

 and feed them in the fold, or on turning out, with 



hay
