A shoe should n«ver be rcnioved without 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 when the new shoe conies to be driven on. 2. The frog and burs require no cutting m a regularly attended foot. And m a healthy ; foot where there are no simptons of 1 navicular disorder, tqe sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the waH of the foot, and 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 uni 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 coinpariso ■ points of quali t between the hand made and the machine made shoe.
