Abstract


Bullocks. In the whole district, the average area tilled by a pair of bullocks is largest in Tirumangalam taluq. The indigenous cattle of the district being small sized, bullocks are generally bought at high prices at Madura and other places. In Villur, on account of the precarious rainfall, the produce obtained does not justify the maintenance of costly bullocks and the people are too poor to afford the initial cost. Only a few cultivators go in for these, while the others have to remain content with the inefficient locally bred animals. Naturally they are overworked and worked at too early an age.
