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 np symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons j The nails should be driven level ana urn { 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. Thpro is no comparise ? points of quality between the han4 mada and |h« ma§hin.e r made shoo. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mperted andit should be~ insisted upon that they be not used iv the colony^
