!HOW OXEN ARE SHOD.
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

The scene at such times is beauti-
ful in the extreme, when the west-
ern sides of the cliffs glean with
crimson and orange from the sunset,
which has turned the whole ocean in-
to a sea of molten fire. Groups of
men and girls stand along the rocks,
near the waterside, busy with their

head shawls, add yet another touch
of brilliancy to a picture which for
intensity of color must surely be un-

The art of making dyes from a
gray lichen that grows on the rooks

At Bolton Abbey, his Yorkshire
