The accompanying sketch, Fig. 172, of an ox frame willprove useful to a great many. My father used a framelike it for many years, and it suited him very well. Inmaking it hardwood is essential. The dimensions of thetimber are 8 in. x 11 in. There are three rollers, as indicatedin the engraving by the letters A, A and E. The bars, B,when inserted in holes made for the purpose in the rollers,enable the smith to wind up the chains, C. At the right ofthe illustration is shown the clip for holding the oxs foot,and on each side of the frame and underneath the belt canbe seen bars to which the clip is attached, by passing theclip pins through the holes in the bars and clips.—^^ZT.

In that case he will find himself in mid-air, kicking-at what ? Nothing, but having a fine country swing. In rcooR ABOx/zr
