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 served :— 1. A shoe should 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 cornea 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, tije 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 &nd 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 suatainea 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 materjal, softer, and js mperted audit should be insisted upon that they be pot used m the colony}
