IS THE DAY OF THE HORSE PAST?

This question no doubt will make ■those who read these lines think, and rightly so, for without our old friend the horse it would be impossible t« imagine how the world would progress. Not only do the horses play such a large part in the drawing of light artillery, etc., in war time, but on the farm, and in the town there are a hundred and one odd jobs that the horse is called upon to do. Blacksmithing, which somo who ride in cars may no doubt think, is a calling that no more exists, should pay a visit to the forge of Mr Harry Vcats, Veterinary Farrier, situated in Ward Street, at the rear of the Railway Building, and there they will see for themselves that the horse requires shoes, and Mr Yeats, who has been working at his forge in Hamilton for 3 S years, has built up a reputation that one should be proud of. Besides making shoes for horses, Mr Vcats does an extensive business in general iron-work, and an inspection will show pruncrs, steel hand t"ucks, barrow wheels, hay-trips, motor iron work, etc-, All classes of farm Implements are made and repaired. Also sheep, cattle and block brands of all descriptions. Pled lools of every type and many oilier articles of Mr Vcats' art will be found there. There are hundreds of farmers able -to testify to the quality and efficiency of Mr Yeats’ work.
