Description ofa Custom courier !t► the Mountable of Texae. en Texas there are 'oxen used to some extent, bu as the roads of Texas are comparatively soft there is Ito neessity of haying them shod, Possibly some Texan owners would ridicule the idea of shod oxen, yet there Is a sale for shoes, or "plates," as they are called, which is no in- considerable item in the annual sales of hardware houses having dealings w th the mount i p opt^. Cti ante n roads are usually creek beds, elected for the reaeo:i th.tt they are nearer Meal than the surrounding abutting or overhanging country. Hence, to be available for use, mountain oxen met be shod. The process is at once interesting, instructive and dangerous. karst, the ox 'le roped about either his fore or hind loge, then the retraining pall of legs are roped and the loose end of the rope puled through the oppo- site loop. T•ha act pully the feet of the ox tato a "uneb, and Inc fails to the ground, t ' allowing, squirming, tlirasning ,mountain of exceecling.y .ivey beef. When he has subsided to some ex- tent the "sheers" proceed to drive a couple of stakes notched at the top at the either end of the pros- trate animal. Previously they have selected as the proper spot to th.'ow li m a convenient stump with exposed roots. Under one of these roots is thrust a rah or 'pole, and a pouple of mountain men sit on tee pole, resting It across the tack of the animal. Others elevate the loops 'binding his hoofs to the notches In the stakes, and with feet in the air -the order of things reversed, as it were- the brute is shod, very much as a horse might be. One of the plates is fitted and nailed on either side of the cloven hoofs, and the process of shap- ing the plate Is omitted. Occasion- ally the ox will thrash allout and yank a stake out, cracking a moun- tain skull with it. ,Sometimes he will rise in his anger and deposit his weight upon one who eeeks to shoe hint ; sometimes he will ldig a hole in the mountain side with his horn, but at last science overcomes brute strength and the shoeing is com- plete. • When the ox is +permitted to 'rise he is to all appearance and to all effects as drunk as if he had been persuaded to imbibe a gallon of moonshine whiskey. Ho le a shamed and stricken ox, and the glory of his strength has passed from .him, as did that of Benison, when the clippers of .Delilah rendered his head as a billiard ball. This sickness lasts for some days, but it is never fatal. It Is simply another little penalty the patient ox endures for being what he Ls. -Chicago Tribune. pose to accede to t:,eir request.
