Our specialty is well-known to fee our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the folk wing standard rules will always be b&erved : — I ' A »hoe should never be removed without .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 regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no simptons of navicular disorder, ti{e 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 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 greate* weight of the body being sustained there. There is no compariso: points of qualit between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mperted andit should be insisted upon that they be aotusedin bbc on'nnv Clover Seed, QHOICE QUALITY 01 COWGBASS, BED, WHITE, AND ALSIKE CLOVERS, NOW LANDING ex "lUNGATIRA.
