In a well ordered shoeing forge the folk-wing standard rules will always be bserved :-^/: ■, ■ \. A shoe should never be removed without first cutting off tho clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is , often left in the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes tc be driven on. 2. The frog and bars require no cutting iv a regularly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no simptons of navicular disorder, tire sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall 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 a-nd 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 siwtained there.
