Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules will always be observed:— 1. A shoe should never be removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because bgr Simply turning back the clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left in the foot, endangering the horse wheat the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2 The frog and bars require no cutting in a regularly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be «ut. .. 3, The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upen th* tendons 4. The nails should be driven level and -mi form, and only on the toe side of the imide quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being sustained there. There is no comparison points of quality between the hand-made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is imported, andit should be insisted upon that they be not used in the colony^ ASHBURTON "MAIL." DDJSEDIN AGENCY, MR K.
