    (continued from previous page)
    is a very good blacksmith and people come long distance to him, to get their horses shod.
    His forge is joined to the back of his dwelling house, and has a tin roof on it. There are two big doors on the side of the forge. The forge has a cement floor and it is kept very clean. At the far end of it are the bellows and the cement trough.
    In the middle of the floor is the anvil standing on a block of wood. At one side of the forge is a heap of old irons and horses' shoes. There is one large window in his forge. He always takes the horses or donkeys out on the street to pare their hoofs.
