three or four inches in width which he says fifty years ago was the only effly und L ind of collar in use by teamsters and farmers throughout this region the stagecoach stage coach lines alone used hame homes sand and then there was ling one common expression among good adges ridges of horses horse never buy a horse which has haa been used as a stace stae horse six months 21 hargues that with
