Kingston, WILLS STKEET, NEXT COOKSON'S STABLES, ASHBURTON, HAS had three years' experience with Thomas Talbot, M.R.C.V.S., of Scotland Yard two years with Corneliu, Saunderson, M.R.C.V.S., Clapham Com mon, and ten years with George Balls, M.R.0.V.5., 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 >vill always be observed:— 1, A shoe should never be removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch in drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left in the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2 The frog and bars require no cutting in a regu arly attended foot. And in 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, and 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 greafce' weight of the body being sustained there. There is no comparise r points of quail ty 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 in the colony^
