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 ?-=* 1, A shoe should never he removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because, by Bimply 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 bars require no cutting m a regu arly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no eymptoms 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 too common, thereby acting a? % feai'ful lever upon t)ie tendons The nails should bp 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 sustain ea there.
