THE AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE. 



when they have little time to eat. They never drini iy 

 water even in the hottest days of summer. Both horse* 

 anJ oxen i>r;ize in summer ; I have not ascertained 

 which of them require the most Grass. In regard to 

 the work performed relatively by hordes and oxen, I 

 should say that, except in frost, when the land can 

 not be ploughed, the amount and value of the work 

 performed by each are equal. Many people who work 

 oxen keep 4, and work each pair only one half of the 

 day. This is a most expensive system ; and, were a good 

 selection of the oxen to be made, is quite unnecessary. 

 I never keep more than 2 at one time, and they work 10 

 hours a-day as steadily all the year over, except in frost, 

 as the horses, and keep in perfectly good condition. We 

 often see oxen going very slow and sluggardly at work ; 

 when well trained, and of a proper breed and size, they 

 will step out as well and as fast as horses : mine do so. 

 At a late ploughing- match in the district, where upwards 

 of 70 ploughs started, my ox-team was second off the 

 field. The average period when frost prevents ploughing 

 may be stated at six weeks. During this time, except 

 in the threshing-mill, oxen are unemployed. The 

 horses are then engaged in carting dung, earth, &c. By 

 calculating the work of the pair of horses, without the 

 man's wages, as worth 6s. a day, and allowing U. 16s. as 

 the value of the threshing-mill work performed by the 

 oxen during frost, we have the sum of 9/. standing 

 ajrainst the latter. It will not do to listen to statements 

 partly speculative and hypothetical, about the capabili- 

 ties of oxen for drawing wheel-carriages ; it is enough 

 for our purpose at present to know that they are not so 

 employed; they are, in the time of frost at all events, 

 tmsuiied for such a purpose. The soil best fitted for 

 oxen to tread on is that which is dry and most free from 

 stones. My farm is composed of both clay and black 

 ■oil, some of the former of which is rather wet, but there 

 are very few stones anywhere. My oxen, although un 

 shod, and working as I have said steadily, never get the 

 least lame, or suffer in the slightest in their feet. On 

 another farm, however, which I occupy, where the soil is 

 more of a clayey nature, and somewhat wet and stony, 

 the hoofs of the oxen wore, and became tender, and 

 rendered them unfit for steady work. Attempts have 

 been made to shoe them in such circumstances, but the 

 experiment seldom proved satisfac'ory. The conclusion 

 to which I have come is, that oxen cannot by any 

 management or precaution be profitably employed on 

 wet or stony soil. 3. The Cost of Maintenance and 

 Farriery of each Pair of Horses and Oxen, including 

 the separate Charge of Management. — A horse getting 

 16 lbs. of Oats daily will eat in seven months (the period 

 he requires grain) about 10$ quarters, which in value 

 amounts to nine guineas. A horse wears 5 or 6 sets of 

 -hoes annually, which cost 18s. ; other 5s. will be allow- 

 ance enough for medicine. In regard to the cost of 

 maintaining working oxen on green food, such as 

 Turnips, I have to remark, that the price of that article 

 varies according to the locality where it is grown. I 

 shall reckon the price or value of the ton of Turnips at 

 10s., being the average in an inland district, I have 

 repeatedly ascertained, both now and formerly, the exact 

 quantity of Turnips which oxen eat, and find that two 

 daily consume about 500 lbs., being at the rate of a ton 

 in four and a half days, or 47 tons in seven months (the 

 time they require Turnips), which in value amounts to 

 23/. 10s. I make no calculation on the cost of straw. 

 I believe the quantity eaten by a horse and ox to be 

 about equal. The charge of management of horses and 

 oxen is the same. One man has the charge of a pair, and 

 all must be groomed and otherwise attended to alike. 

 4. The Cost or presumed Value of each Pair of Horses 

 and Oxen with their Gear, when put to work, and their 

 Value at the end of the Comparison A pair of farm- 

 horses, four years old, suitable for all kinds of work, can 

 be bought for 06/. Their gear or harness, including the 

 cost of keeping it in repair, amounts to 25s. yearly. 

 Should no accident occur a horse will last twelve years, 

 at the end of which time he is worth about 07. Including 

 the difference between the original purchase and ultimate 

 selling price, together with interest, the sum of 3/. 10s. 

 is thus lost annually on each horse. There should be 

 added to this at least 30s. to cover accidents and deaths. 

 A pair of oxen, four years old, costs 26/. The last pair 

 which I bought cost 24/. They have worked regularly 

 for four years, and I am now feeding them for slaughter. 

 I expect to get about 30/. for them. They work one 

 day a week at the threshing-mill, which does not seem to 

 retard their feeding. I would therefore calculate that 

 no actual loss will be sustained on oxen from the time of 

 their being bought and sold. The cost of gear, including 

 keeping in repair, costs 10s. annually. The account of 

 the different items stands thus : —

partiality of parties whether they shall employ horses oi 

 oxen, or partly both. For my own part, after duly con- 

 idering the matter, and after the experience of a num- 

 ber of years, I should give the preference to employing 

 horses exclusively. They are ready at all times for all- 

 kinds of work ; in wet or frosty weather they can be em- 

 ployed in carting, and in leading the crop in harvest they 

 are invaluable and indispensable, while at all these times 

 the oxen are ° eating the bread of idleness." — Prize 

 Essay in the English Agricultural Society's Journal, 

 by J . Cowie, Laurencekirk, A r . B. 



Notices to Correspondents. 



Books.— J. A\— Raid's " Chemistry of Nature/' Glasgow. 



Chaff-cuttkr.— Toby and A Subscriber. — The price of these 

 implements, of the small size, for one man, may vary from 61. to 

 10/. They will cut, perhaps, three different heights. We cannot 

 select and name the firm from which you should buy. Youmust 

 ascertain this elsewhere. 



Faim/ke iv Skkds.— J. Robinsnn.—W'e are afraid it is too late 

 now to sow Italian Rye-grass, which would probably have been 

 your best remedy, could you have applied it in August. If your 

 seeds are a failure, you had better plough up and sow winter 

 Vetches. 



Failure on* the Cotswolds. — G. — You have mistaken the 

 character of the soil on the Cotswold hills. It is a poor, thin, 

 brashy, calcareous soil ; certainly not overburdened with 

 nitrogenous manures. No cheese is made there— that is all 

 manufactured on the pasture lands in the vale. Turnips are 

 sown broadcast; but the farmers rarely use artificial manures: 

 they depend chiefly on what is made at home in their farm- 

 yards. Your argument as to the cause of failure, you will thus 

 see does not avail you. The Turnips have failed more likely 

 from want than excess of manure. 



Gorse. — Melksham.— SeeNos. 5, 6, 9, and 10, of the Agricultural 

 Gazette. 



INDIAN Corn. — An Inquirer. — Your idea of the want of gluten in 

 this grain, as compared with Wheat, we have always considered 

 correct. We do not know on what authority Mr. Gyde states it 

 to contain so much. Pay en 9 as quoted by Professor Johnston, 

 found nearly 5 per cent, of gluten in Maize ; but his analysis, 

 from its obvious inaccuracy in other matters, Mr. Johnston 

 says [j not to be depended upon. 



Operation on the Snouts of Pigs.— W. D. F. — There are two 

 tendons, which, with their parent muscles, elevate the snout, 

 and endow it with the power of rooting up the earth. These 

 tendons may be divided about 1$ inch Irom the nose. A piece 

 of each should be cut out, and the wound kept open a while by 

 means of tow: a simple division of them would answer no end, 

 as they would soon unite again ; but by cutting out a portion, 



their power would be diminished. W. C. $.— See No. 5 



Agricultural Gazelle. It is evidently a more cruel operation 

 than that of ringing. 



SEA-SAND.— J, White. — Large quantities are used; you will find 

 it expensive to apply per acre an equal quantity of lime in bone- 

 dust; it will answer as well, but the expense will render it un- 

 advisable. If you apply lime along with guano, you will expel 

 much of the ammonia which the latter contains. Lime is 

 useful on soils which do not contain it. Guano or some other 

 source of phosphorus, ammonia, &c, is also necessary on such 

 as well as on others ; but the two must be applied at separate 

 times ; apply lime in autumn, and guano in spring. Salt would 

 be useful on your soil, if you are far inland, and you may apply 

 it with your bones and acid or otherwise, at the rate ot \\ or 

 2 cwt. per acre. The mode of its application does not signify, 

 provided it be evenly spread in wet weather. 



Sllphatb of Iron. — Original Subscriber.— It will decompose 

 carbonate of ammonia, as soon as it is formed in urine. We 

 shall he better able next week to say what effect it would have 

 on the feet of animals in a house. 



Weeds.— A. Langdon.—We have to apologise for delay. Your 

 Weed can be extirpated only by perseverance in pulling it, and 

 destroying it in all possible ways. It is very rarely indeed that 

 the farmer knows of any easy way to destroy weeds, or indeed 

 of any other way than sheer industry and perseverance in pulling 

 them up. 



As usual many communications have been received too late.

 Our supply ot Beasts to-day is unusually large, still the be?t qualities are

 is excessively bad— this being Michaelmas Market, very little is wanted; 

 several middling Beasts reman unsold. There is also a considerable increase 

 in the supply ot and decrease in the demand for Sheep ; trade is very heavy 

 at a reduction of about 2d per 8 lbs, on the general trade, although in some 

 few instances the best Downs make 4s, and Longwools 3s lOd. There are 

 tewer Lambs ; they are a little more in demand, but make no more money. 

 Veal-trade is heavy ; middling Calves are very low. Pork is about the same. 



Friday, Oct. 4. 



The supply of Beasts is large, and demand very small: the best qualities 

 barely maintain Monday's quotations, and it is difficult at all to dispose of 

 the interior ; a large number must remain unsold. Although the number of 

 >h* ep is considerably less, there is more thnn sufficient for the demand, and 

 the prices are a trifle lower than on .Monday ; the trade at the dead markets 

 having been so excessively bad since Ml nday causes a very slack attendance 

 or buyers here to-e ay, Veal-trade is abo rather worse ; the very best Calves 

 barely make 4s, and a great many inferior quality make no more than from 

 M to.Js4d. Pork-trade is steady at late quotations.

COVENT GARDEN, Oct. 5.— There has been little variation 

 in the prices of most articles during the past week ; the market 

 has been well supplied, but trade continues dull. Pine-Apples 

 are sufficient for the demand ; among them there are many 

 handsome fruit. Melons continue to be supplied In toleiable 

 abundance; and Grapes are very plentiful. Peaches and Nee- 

 tarines are becoming scarce; a few good samples, however, 

 still remain, and they appear to be pretty good. The chief 

 dessert Plums are Coe's Golden Drop, and the Imperatrice, 

 which fetch about 1*. 6d. per punnet* Of Apples and Pears 

 of good quality there is abundance offered at last weeks' 

 prices; they consist exactly of the same kind! as are men- 

 tioned in our last weekly report. Hothouse Grapes are 

 nearly the same as last week; Spanish varieties are a little 

 cheaper. Very few Oranges are in the Market, and Filberts 

 still continue scarce. Of Vegetables, generally speaking, there 

 are plenty ; Broccoli, of which a considerable quantity is in the 

 Market, is becoming more plentiful. It i$ very good and 

 cheap. Cauliflowers are scarce, as are also Cabbages. Brussels 

 Sprouts are getting more plentiful, and Carrots and Turnips 

 are supplied in considerable quantity. French Beans are scarce, 

 and are in consequence getting dearer. A few samples of Peas 

 may still be met with, which are tolerably good in quality. 

 Onions are large and fine, as is also Celery. Lettuces and other 

 S a1 L are sufficient for the demand. Cut Flowers chiefly 

 insist of Ceanothus aureus, Gladiolus ps-.ttacinus, Pclargo- 

 niums. Phloxes, Heaths. Verbenas, Fuchsias, Amaryllises, 

 Camellias, Carnations and Roses.
