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 :— i 1. A shoe should never be .removed without first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch in' drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left m the foot, endangering the horse when 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. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be sprung at the heel, as is tbo common, thereby acting as a fearful leyer upon the tendoas. i 4. The nails should be driven level and uni- I form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinnef upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being sustained there. 5 There is no comparison points of quality between the hand-made and the machine made shoe.

E. F. WRIGHT. Esq., . , Dear Sir —I have pleasure m informing you that the most satisfac tory results have been obtained from the use of lime supplied by you last snrine The lime was applied as a top dressing on land intended for roots at the rate of 2 tons per acre on potatoes and carrots, and one ton on mangold land The land had been well tilled previous to laying on the lime, and after spreading was well harrowed into the soil. Notwithstanding the fact that the season was most unfavorable for all root crops, I have had a very fair crop ; | more especially m the case of potatoes and carrots, which, m quality, are the y best I have grown since coming to the country. I am satisfied that any farmer having a little spare cash could .not find a better investment tot it than giving hkpaddocka dressing with lime. I intend this season tot,/ the effect on grass land and also on turnips. b I Remain Yours Sincerely, GEO. W. L^ADLEY. Mount Somers, May 7th, 1890. MR WRIGHT ... . . T a Sir —I uld not get anything to grow on my bit of ground,so I was determined to try your lime last winter and I gave it a good dose. I can^ now grow plenty of vegetables of all kinds. I planted a piece of ground oOft by 40ft with potatoes and I got 6 bags of round potatoes out of it, and strange to say there was not a weed o? any sort to be seen. I planted another piece of ground which was not limed with potatoes and they were not worth digging and the ground full of weeds and sorrel, so I recommend your lime highly for growing good crops. s 6e Yours truly, ROBERT JONES.

The grass land was greatly improved tt some land that had beenbroken up for turnips un fortunately the paddock suffered severely from the heavy nor-westers, so that I tons.—Yours faithfully, LIME AS A MANURE FOR TURNIPS TO THE EDITOR " OTAGO DAILY TIMES. Sir—Lime is well-known to the farmer as being beneficial for pasture land and for grain crops, but it is not often applied to turnips, and as the re- S has been very successful, I have much pleasure m giving farmers the "TLVe itraTongimpression for many years that much of the land south of Dtnedii andtpecially m Southland, would beneßt by the use of lime, and we tried it several times on Edendale with satisfactory results for grass and oats but the price of the lime and the railway carnage made the use of it prc hib lory. Recently, however, both have been considerably reduced, although S too high, and last spring we determined to give liming a trial on a larger scalehan hitherto, the result of which is given m the following extract from the annual report of our Edendale manager : « Last year we limed 200 acres at a cost of £460 14s 6d. Lime cost £221 3s 4d railage £163 13s lid, carting and spreading £75 13s 3d, clearing couch arass £36 13s 3d extra. This seems a heavy outlay, but there is such a mZificent crop of turnips after the lime that the cost will be repaid twice Tef tWs year, and then there is the permanent good the land will derive from the lime Ten acres m the paddock were left untamed with the result that we havenTturnips there,although they hadexactiy the same labor, seed and bone dust Thecrorafterthelimeis worth £5 an acre, and if we had used no lime it would not have paid the cost of the cultivation. The railway carnage is still too hi^'h on lime, and I hope to see it reduced. I may explain that the paddock is situated near the Edendale railway station and was considerably out of order through couch and other objection lie Masses, Ind that we thought the best way of clearing it would be to grub out the couch grass as well as we could, and then lime and manure the "round well so as to produce a good crop of turnips, Accordingly the ground was welf worked, and 2 tons of lime and 3 cwt of bone dust applied.
