Our specialty is well-known to be our bility and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the Jlowing standard rules -will always be &erv ed :— , 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 foofe, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. The frog and bars require no cutting m a regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no simptoris of navicular disorder, tqe sole should not be cut. 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 uini 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 sua'tained there. There is no compariso - points of qualit between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made ahoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mported andit should be insisted upon that they be »ot used. i« the cplouy] • '
