Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeins? forge the following standard rules -will always be observed : — I, 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 shpe shquld have a level bearing upon the iyall of the foot, aud should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon tftp tendons The nails should be driven level and inn form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot beir-g thinner upon the inside and the greate' weight of the body being sustained them There is no compariso: points of quality between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made sbgj is of a coarser material, softer, and is imported andit should be" insisted upon that they be not used m the colony^
