Several modern French authors, of considerable abilities, have attacked the use of oxen with all their power; particularly the celebrated Marquis de Mirabeau, and the authors of the husbandry articles in the Encyclopedia; I think M. uesnay lejils, and M. le Roy. They divide the agricul-. ture of France into two grand parts; the great culture, and the small. The first is that of horses, and the latter of oxen. ; and reckon the small to exceed the great culture, in common practice, as five, if I recollect right, to thirty. They represent the use of oxen as vastly inferior to that of horses; but their arguments run directly counter to all ones ideas in England; consequently circumstances vary prodigiouOy between the two kingdoms. But the prints 4 cipal cpal objection seems, from those writings Tather to ly against the nature of the oxteams than against their use in general. From many expressions, I apprehend the ploughing oxen to be very small, lean, weak, wretched beasts j for they talk of turning them on to open commons for their food: if this is the cafe, no wonder the ox culture is so unprofitable. I have not the Encyclopedia by me; but M. dt Mirabeau writes as follows: Dans la grande culture, un homme seul conduit une charrue tire par deux chevaux, qui fait autant de travail que trois charrues tire par des bufs, and conduite par Six hommes. Dans ce dernier Cas, faute davances primitives pour rtablissement dune grande culture, la dpense annuelle est excessive par proportion au produit net, qui est presque nul, and lon y employe dix ou dou7X fois plus de terre. Les propritaires manquons de fermiers en tat de subvenir la dpense dune bonne culture, les avances. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
