120 IMPLEMENTS AND CROPS. 



Q. 16th. Are oxen or buffaloes commonly used; 

 would mules not be preferable for draught ? 



A. Oxen generally. A few buffaloes occasionally 

 for ploughs and hackery s (carts.) Mules though 

 preferable for draught, would never answer for the 

 carts in use; nor would they be well taken care of 

 by the natives, as they pay little or no attention 

 even to the cattle they have. 



Q. Ylih. What are the usual sorts of ploughs, 

 carts, and other implements of husbandry ? Could 

 originals or models be procured for this Society, 

 without much inconvenience ? 



A. The ploughs, carts, and other implements of 

 husbandry, are the same as those used in Behar, 

 Ghazeepoor, Benares, &c. &c. In the cities no doubt 

 models could be easily made and furnished. 



Q. 18^. What is the usual seed time and har- 

 vest, for the different crops ? 



A. Different crops. Sown in Ripe in 



Sawanh, June, Oct. & November. 



Murrooab, ditto, ditto. 



Taungoon, ditto, October.
