    The black smith uses the following implements an anvil, punch, tongs, bellows, sledge, rasp, drill, knife. The black smith shoes horses, and asses. He makes harrows, and iron gates, staples, and pins for harrows.
    The black smith shoes cart wheels in the open air when a carpenter has made them. He has a round stone in the yard at the back of the forge for leaving the wheels on it when he is shoeing them.
    The people around this locality believe in forge water for curing warts.
