Stance can he exert his full strength upon the 
through a roll of paper, these fine cfTects will 
come out much plainer than otherwise. The 
original is owned by iMr. George Jones, one of 
the proprietors of the iVi Y. Timca, and is valued 
at $2,000. Its size is only 20 by 30 inches. 
We never evitness two steers, or cows even, 
with locked horn.s, trying one another’s pluck, 
but we think of the poor adaptation of our best 
3 'okes, to secure for ns the full power of the 
willing ox. There is a concentration of force 
in the forehead of the bull, or of any animal of 
the ox kind, which we hardly find in aigv other 
creature, except, jicrbajis, the eleidiant. The 
horse draws* ]>roper]v' by lii^ shoulder.s, but the 
ox’.s shoulders are not adaiitcd to draw b}'. We 
make him draw by the lop of his neck, where 
the projecting spines of his backbone are some¬ 
what jiroteeted by a tendinous band, and by 
.sidn no thicker than any other jiart of hi.s hide. 
Of ' Our.it hurt; bun, and under no eireum- 
yokc. If yoked by the head, a practice preva¬ 
lent over most of Europe, and among Spanish 
Americans, the forehead, pressing against a 
padded yoke, becomes the point of power. Tlic 
concentrated energies of every muscle and sinew' 
of the body operate through the forehead upon 
the load, just as in a fight between bulls, they 
each concentrate, with the greatest ease, tlieir 
whole muscular strength in their lieads. It is 
safe to say tliat in this country we never make 
use cf the whole strength of our oxen. This 
subject has been repeatedly alluded to in the 
American Agriculturist, in the hope that some 
one, who uses o.xen in farm work, wouhl so 
break his sleers,and report the results. The expe¬ 
riment needs to be made with care, and the ani¬ 
mals well broken, before being tried with heavy 
loads. Ino one who has watched a fight can 
donlh the correctness of this principle of yoking.
