Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and kno-wledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules will always be observed :— 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 regu arly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should ndt be sprung at the heel, as.is too common, thereby acting -as a fearful lever upon the tendons ; The nails should be driveii 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 imparted andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m the colony^
