Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered, shoeing forge th« following standard rules mill always be observed:™ 1. 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 whe» the hew Bhoe comes to be driven on. 2 The frog and bars require ho cutting m a regularly attended foot; And m a healthy foot where there are" no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be out. / 3. The Bhoe 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 upon the tendons . 4. The nails should bit driven level and uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and th* greater weight of the body being sustained there. There is rio comparison points ef quality between tht hand-made and the raaohiae made shoe; The machine-made shoe is «f a coarser material, softer, and is imported, andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m Dm colony ASHBURTON "MAIL/* DUMfiDltf AGENCY MR R.
