ifyou rarely walk out and prefer heated rooms to the free air of heaven dyspepsia comes as a punish ment to yon for violating god's law of movements and occupation worry and anxiety will often produce

subject has been tieated often by agricultural writers but like all other agricultural subjects it cannot be writen upon ton often the question is often a.-ked which pays the farmer best for all kinds of farm work lhe horse or ox ? some hold for the ox and some for the horse l i us examine the relative mer its of each : a pair of good horses will cost s2s0 ; harness double tins ice will cost for them say 25 miking in all mc for the horses the price generally paid for a good yoke of oxen is about sso ; yoke and chain sg making 8sg now let us see what it will cost to keep ten years or the working life of each the horses cost s305 the interest on that amount at g per cent for ten years will be s1s3 ; the shoeing will cost 810 a year or s100 for ten years ; the feed will cost 8130 a year or s 1,300 for ihe ten years amounting iu all the first cost interest shoeing and feed of horses to 1,7ss now let us examine the other side of lhe question or the oxen : eighty six dollais for the first cost of lhe oxen ; in terest at six percent for ten years amounts to sol go lhe feed will cost one half lhat of the horses say sgo per year ; for ten years 600 for the oxen the whole amount of the cost interest and feed is s737.g0 against 1,788 on the horse side besides this the oxen are constantly in creasing in value until they are twelve years old ou lhe other hand lhe horses i are decreasing iu value from the time ihey are nine years old a yoke of oxen at 12 years old are worth their first cost for beef yet on the other hand what is a pair of stiff worn out horses worth 1 but very little suppose one of your horses gels his leg broken the only thing that would likely be done with him would be to shoot him or pay a large bill for his cure but let one of your oxen break his leg and you will get as much for him as you originally gave why is it that there is so small an amount of ox labor used as compared ' wilh horses ? it is simply this that wo don't know what to do with them when travelling on public roads horses are superior taoxen but for work on the farm such as hauling manure and grain plowing c oxen will do as much as horses they will plow as many acres in a day as a horse and wiii haul as many loads of manure or grain and haul larger loads oxen are hardiar than horses or they could not stand the treatment they receive they do not know what curry-comb and brush are : i they are freer from disease than horses '' are oue of the great objections urged j against oxen is that they cannot stand j the heat true they cannot stand it at noon day in mid-summer neither can any i any other farm stock stand it well j some urge that they are too slow cat i tie that are well broken and made to step quick are as rapid as horses in many trials in england the oxen proved to be equal lo the horse in lliem all and in some the ox was prononnced superior ex governor hill of new hampshire says of them : 1 have at this time cat tle of my own raising which have been
