In some countries he isused in preference to the horse,being able to endure greaterhardships, and work longer, andsuffer more the abuse of crueldrivers than the horse. … THE OX. The ox is an animal of greatvalue. The farmer uses himlor labor, then takes his fleshfor foorl. His skin is convertedinto leather, and his horns madeinto combs. Thus every partof the ox when dead is turnedto some useful purpose to supply the wants of man.
