they sure have them here, great big
fellows, with long horns. We some
times see two oxen walking along with
heavy load with perfect ease, ap-
parently, while two horses with the
same size load are granting and ex-
erting all their energy to get along.
We see a great many little mouse
coored donkeys here In Italy. But the
funniest sight is to see the high wheel
carts that they use here, with a load
Of hay on them as large as you see in
the United States on four wheel
wagon. This is, a great sugar beet
country. They are digging and haul
ing them to the factories. We saw
three train II Ids today. We see a
great deal of flax here. too. The roads
We travelled today were not SO good,
in fact, the worst We have experienced
SO far.

glass works in Venice, OH Meland
