from nature. The owner taking upon him- 
felf the care of inftrufting and cleaning them, 
does not even tie up the cows in order to be 
milked. If maternal fenfations, however, fpeak 
forcibly to their inftinft, and induce them to 
keep back their milk for the ufe of their 
young, the means employed by the Caffres 
to compel them to yield it, are much Ampler 
and lefs difgufting than thofe employed by 
the Hottentots. A fiiackle is put round one 
of the animal's hind feet; a robuft man then 
drags it backwards, and being hurt by this 
attitude, fhe immediately fuffers her milk to 
flow. The fame method is purfued when a 
cow has been deprived of her calf. Whether 
this difference between thefe cows and thofe 
of Europe arlfes from their nature, their 
fpecies, or the climate ; it is certain that it 
exifts, and that the expedient I have men- 
tioned is necefTary, and generally pradifed 
by the favages.
