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 > ill always be observed: — > : i. A shoe should never be remored withou first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch m drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left m the foot, endangering the horse whea the new shoe comes to be driven on: 2 The frog and bars require no cutting m a regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be .cut. ■ . , ■ .-■ ■'■' .■'■ 8. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon tke tendons 4. The nails should be driven level and uni form, and only oh the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being suatained there. There is no comparison points el quality between the hand-made and the machiae made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is imparted, andit should be insisted upon that they be pot used m the colony ASHBURTON "MAIL* DUKE DIN AGENCY MR B.
