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:— I, A shoe should never be removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because by ■imply 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 to be driven on. 2 The frog and bars require no cutting in a rega arly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no symptoms jof 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 » fearful lever upon the tandonst The nails »ho.uid be driven leyel and uni form, and only on the topside of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the create weight of the body being sustained there. There is no compariso: points of qual? ty 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 upon that they*be not used in the colony!
