An Ox-Shueing Shop in the Woods

In some portions of the Pacific
Northwest teams of oxen and bulls
are still used for hauling out logs
from the forest. To prevent the ami
mails from slipping on the wet skid
roads and in the swamps, they are
sometimes shod. The bulls, however,
are so difficult to shoe that it is nee
essary to tie them securely before
the operation; otherwise they would
kick over the Tarrier and do other
damage in their efforts to release
themselves. The accompanying pho
tograph shows one Of the novel black
smith shops, which is designed for
shoeing bulls in one Of the Washing
ton lumber camps. The animal is
led into a framework of stout timber
underneath a beam, to which is at
tached a sling of heavy canvas. This
