New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback.

The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to

feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they

need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in

New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six

blacksmiths(

铁匠

). There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.

The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good

blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.

A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal

and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the

shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be

very strong. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses—for before the

blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.

One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948.

He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city.

Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and, as he puts it, “It’s a good way to

make a living.”

Yang Xiuying, 74, sits at wooden loom(织布机). As her fingers pass the shuttle(梭子) back

and forth through the cotton threads(线), the old machine comes to life.

Ever since she was a young girl, Yang has been making indigo cloth(布). “ You can never buy

this type of hand-made cloth at the market,” she says.

For the Dong(侗族)people in Guizhou, making indigo cloth has a long tradition. The skill has

been pass down from mother to daughter over generations(一代). Nearly every family makes its

own cloth.

This traditional skill, unluckily, is now in danger. Young people show little interest in it.

Some of them have moved to big cities to find better jobs.

Local officials want to save the tradition. They are trying to change young people’s

attitude(态度) towards it. One program has set up several cloth-making factories in Guizhou. After

learning how to make indigo cloth, young Dong people can now find jobs easily. They can also

work closer to home.

The Dong people consider indigo cloth as important as rice. Many Dong women spend

countless hours making the cloth. Every day, they rise and start working very early in the morning.

To make the cloth shiny, it must be rubbed (搓) and beaten hard. The noise of cloth being beaten

often wakes the whole village up.

Almost every Dong women over 40 has a tub for indigo dye(染料). The cloth has to be put in

the dye for dozens of(几十个) rounds to gain the rich color. The process(过程) of coloring usually

takes two weeks.

Yang holds out her purple and wrinkled(有皱纹的) hands. “They say who has the darkest

indigo marks on her hands makes the best cloth,” she says proudly.
