Sinoe that time we have made many im ortance improvements m thoir manufacture —improvements not of the nature of vegct compounds which may be added to any, ood of a trifling cost, but of the nature to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre dients which no other Biscuit or Dog Food possesses, and for which we have received numerous medals and high recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor D.i Zurn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscxiits to be of the greatest excellence, and to contain double the quantity of nourish ment that is to be found m the flesh, thus farming the best and most successful food for dogs that is possible to produce. It is important to notice that every biscuit is stamped—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which we guarantee. Twenty shillings per c wt, carriage paid SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.

Our specialty is well-known to be our | ability and knowledge of the horse's foot, i In a well ordered shoeing forge the i following standard rules xvill always be I observed :— j 1. A shoe should never be removed withou 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 symptoms of navictilar disorder, the sole should net be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and Bhould not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons 4. The nails should b% 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 made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is imported, andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m the colony ASHBUUTON "MAIL," DUNBDIN AGENCY. MR R.
