Excerpt from Cattle: Their Breeds, Management, and Diseases; With an Index The subject of the present work will be the Natural History, the different Breeds, the Structure, (more particularly with reference to their beauties and defects, ) the utility for various purposes, and the Diseases, and General Management of Cattle, with their most rational and successful treatment; and if we may be enabled to rouse the farmer to strive, and perhaps successfully strive, to rescue a few of his oxen from that destruction of which he has been an almost passive spectator; and to direct his at tention, - the attention of the little farmer, and the cottager, as well as the wealthier and more influential individual, - to that which should not have been so long and so utterly neglected, our main and most valuable purpose will be accomplished.
