    on the land with bordogs. These bordogs were made of wood and they were hun across the asse's backs. There was a bottom made with a hinger so that they could open them and let whatever was in them fall down on the ground.
    The bottoms would have to be opened together or they would turn the ass over. There were no lids on these bordogs. They are not used nowadays. They used slides made of wood for carts then. Some people use them for bringing in hay now.
