These sorts, equally with bul- locks, fatten quickly, on having proper food supplied to them, and on being obliged to take rest in the house; for their spirit seldom allows them to enjoy this in the field, Both of them have likewise a tendency to fatten earlier in life, than the coarse breeds, on their petting the requisite and full supply of food suitable for them. Even cattle, and such other animals of the Bos tribe, when well fed, train- ed and subjected to exercise or dressing, much in the same manner that horses are in this country, acquire precisely the like well formed shapes, and equally active habits. This has been ascertained from different accounts to be the ease in many foreign countries, where, as among the Targuzi- nian, Nogayan and Koundour Tartars, bullocks are used for riding 5 ot, as in Cashmere, where they are used both for riding and for drawing coaches; or, as in Hindostan, where they draw the hackrees(a sort of coaches) and
