,5. YORKSHIRE. 267 



A fcecr, like a colt, ought to be famili- 

 arized to harnefs at two or three years old ; 

 but fliould never be fubjeded to hard labour 

 until he be five years old : from which age, 

 until he be fifteen or perhaps twenty, he may 

 be confidered as in his prime as a bcaft of 

 draught. An ox which I worked feveral 

 years in Surrey, might, at feventeen or eigh- 

 teen years old, have challenged, for ftrength, 

 agility and fagacity, the beft-bred cart-horfe 

 in the kingdom. . 



The SPECIES of ox worked in this Diftridt 

 will appear under the head Breed of 

 Cattle.
