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 bserved :■ — 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 in the foot, endangering the horse when 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 ho simptons of navicular disorder, tqe 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 too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and unil form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate • weight of the body being sustained there. There is no compariso: points of qualit between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mpiwted andit should be insisted upon that they be cot used in fcbe colony Glover Seed.
