Or turning his fancy to han- dling a team of horses hitched to a tote wagon while driving the dusty gravel roads to some lum- ber camp or farm with a load of supplies. Horse power set the pace whether -hauling the loaded wagon or stepping along spritely while hitched to a spring buggy. Usually, the driver's seat on the wagon was just a board attached to the wagon bow, which was very uncomfortable and often caused sore backs. Then a high spring seat was invented and attached to the wagon box up front making for comfortable riding. the shiny black spring buggies were a joy to ride in and they had a hood that protected the riders from the rain, dust and hot sun. the hood could be lowered like the present day roadster cars. Some of the classier buggies had fringe, tassels and lights sewn around the front of the hood. There was always a drive shed at the community halls and churches where a horse and buggy could be left while the owner would attend a meeting or social event. A doctor usually kept two horses which he alternated on his rounds, so that one could rest and be fed, while the other provided the power to transport the doctor. ° Horse power was in evidence everywhere -- pulling ploughs, hayrakes, stoneboats, potato dig- gers, and stumps, or hitched to some type of machinery.
