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 be removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because by simply tuw>i»g 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 navieular 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 ft! 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 body being sustained there. There is no comparison points of quality between the hand-made and the machine mads shoe.
