at the age of three years, the bull, cow, and ox, shed their hornsBlack cattle, it is well known, never do shed their horns. It is astonishing that our learned author should have been be|trayed into this blunder, and still more astonishing that it should be repeated in the last Paris edition, in 12mo. The rings he mentions do, indeed, begin to appear at this period, and con|tinue to increase, with some regularity, as long as the animal lives., which are replaced by others, and which, like the second teeth, never fall off. The horns of the ox and cow are longer and thin|ner than those of the bull. The growth of the second horns is not uniform. The first year, which is the fourth of the animal's age, two neat pointed horns, terminated near the head by a kind of ring, arise. In the following year, this ring mounts farther from the head, being pushed forward by a new horny cylinder, which is likewise terminated by another ring, and so on; for the horns continue to grow as long as the animal lives. These rings are very apparent; and, by their number, the ox's age may be easily counted, by adding three years to the number of intervals between the rings.The horse eats slowly, but almost perpetually. The ox, on the contrary, eats fast, and fills his stomach in a very short time; after which, he lics down to ruminate. This difference in eat|ing, proceeds from the different conformation of their stomachs. The ox, whose two first sto|machs consist of but one large bag, can, without 0
