W. T. Kingston^ WILLS STBEET, NEXT COOKSON'S STABLES, ASHBURTON, HAS had three years' experience with Thomas Talbofc, M.R.C.V.S., of Scotland Yard two years with Corneliu, Saunderson, M.R.C.V.S., Clnpham Com mon, and ten years with George Balls M.R.C.V.S., Brixton, all of London' and has also gained a good reputation in the Colony. 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 bserved :— 1 ' A shoe should never be removed without | first cutting off the clinches, because by I simply turning back the clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left I in the foot, endangering the horse 1 when the new shoe comes to be driven oni 2. The frog and bars require no cutting in a regularly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no simptons of navicular disorder, tqe aole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be Srung at the heel, as is too common, ereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons ' The nails should be driven level and uni* form, and only oil the toe side of the'inside quarter, the loot being thinner upon the inside and the greate'weight of the body being sustained there. There is nocompariso v 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 aotused in fcfce co'nnv
