Il. ID. Gilman informs us that this is
the 4Sth winter he has numbered and
that he never saw Il better winter for
the business than this has been. He
laughed when he contrasted present
methods of numbering with those prac-
ticed when he commenced. Then he
would use eight oxen on a short sle.l
dragging the load by main strength.
when they loaded. the oxen were taken
off and used to drag the logs onto the
sled and any one who has seen an OK
team move can understand that load
ing was a slow process. The only iron
about the sled and the yoke of oxen on
the tongue would be the clevis pin;
everything else was wood. He says he
can do as much work today with
pair of horses on wagon-sled as he
could then with the eight oxen.-Pis-

fare. Scooping Il hole in the snow, he
lay down and the drift soon covered
