Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well orderpd shoeing forge the I following standard rules will always be observed : — 1. A shoe should never be removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch in drawing tih§ nail a piece of the clinch is often left in the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe oomes to be driven fin, 2 The frog and bars require no cutting in a regu arly attended foot. And in 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 thft wall of the foot, aud should not be sprung at the hp§l, as is too common, thereby acting as & fcapful leyep upqn the tendons The nails should be driven level and uni ?. form, and only on th* toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the create' weight of the body being auatainea there. There is no oompariso r points of quality between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe Is of a coarser materjal, softer, and is mperted andit should be insisted Hpon that they be not used in the colony^
