In the weft of England they conftruci 

 very complete oxhoufes, in which every ox 

 has a ftall fo large as to admit his turn- 

 ing in it ; and at one end of it is a fmall 

 trough of water; it is an excellent method 

 of lodging them, but takes up much room, 

 and is confequently very expenfive. 



If there are many oxen kept, the houfes 

 fhould be fcattered for the fame reafons as 

 the llables. 



COWS. 



Cows are fed chiefly with hay, and ftrawi 

 This points out that the cowhoufe fhould 

 be properly fituatcd with refped: to the 

 barns for the latter, and the hay-ftacks for 

 the former. There muft alfo be proper 

 bings for all the calves, and ranges of ties, 

 as they are called in fome places, for the 

 cows, one for each. The houfe fhould be 

 properly placed for cleaning into the yard, 

 that the dung may be mixed with, that of 

 the other cattle. 



HOGS. 



Nothing contributes more to raifmg large 

 quantities of excellent manure, than a great 

 number of fwine ; but they require proper 

 conveniences more than any other fort of 



cattle.
