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 b&erved :— 1 A shoe shou'd 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, tqe 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 m mperted andit should be insisted upon that they be acst Hied m fcbe of>innv Clover Seed.
