Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a. well ordered shoeing fprge the 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 m 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 regu arly 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 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 greater weight of the bqdy being sustained therp, j There is no comparison points of quality between the hand-made and the inachine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is imported andit should be insisted upon that they be not used iv the colony 1}
