 roll upon the rollers. The stanchions shown in Fig. 170 are

Making an Ox Frame. 



The accompanying sketch, Fig. 172, of an ox frame will 

 prove useful to a great many. My father used a frame 

 like it for manv vears, and it suited him very well. In 

 making it hardwood is essential. The dimensions of the 

 timber are 8 in. x 11 in. There are three rollers, as indicated 

 in the engraving by the letters A, A and E. The bars, B, 

 Avhen inserted in holes made for the purpose in the rollers, 

 enable the smith to wind up the chains, C. At the right of 

 the illustration is shown the clip for holding the ox's foot, 

 and on each side of the frame and underneath the belt can 

 be seen bars to which the clip is attached, b^^ passing the 

 clip pins through the holes in the bars and clips. — By
