HERCULES MAKING POWDER IS THE BEST Thos*:' who have noi li ed it, should ask their Grocer for it. Makes splen Cakes Scones, astry, &3. ~W. T Kingston, WILLS STBEET, 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.C.V.S.; Brixfcon, 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 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.
