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 -ft ill always be observed :— 1, A shoe should never be retnoved withou first cutting off the clinches, because by einvply turning back the clinch m drawing the nail a piepe of tfye plmoh 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 In 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 swjPHtjg at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting *s a fearful lever upon the tendfltta The nails should be driven level ana WH form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate' weight of U\e body being suataitied there. There is no compariso.- points of quality between the hand made and the machine? made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mported andit should be insisted Kpon that they be not U3e4 m the colony^
