The li.sh transported from tho sea arc first fed 

 " with butchers' oftal "—but in some of the Scot- 

 tish ponds it is already proved, that they " may be 

 fed by bringing different kinds together as in the 

 ocean ;" that is, they will feed on one another.

lether we regard labour, tbod or clothing, this 

 s of animals seems not only highly useful but 

 ost indispens.ible. It was fortunate for our 

 c that it was peopled from a country where 

 use of the ox had not been supplanted by the 

 of the horse. The first cost of a pair of oxen 



t more than half the price of a pair of horses. 



expense of keeping is nearly in the same pro- 



on ; and the ox increases in value from two 

 ■s old or the time he is put in the yoke, till he 

 rned out for food ; but the horse from the age 

 ven decreases in value until he becomes nse- 

 With prudent management the capital in- 



d iu neat stock can never bo lost, on an av- 

 e, once in ten or twelve years. Your Com-
