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&erved : — 1. A shoe should never be removed without first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch m €lrawing 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 regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no simptons of navicular disorder, tije sole should not be Cllb. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of' the foot, aud 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 j form, and only on the toe side of tjie inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate * weight of the body being su3taired there. There is no compariso - points of quali t between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mported andit should be insisted upon that tlvsy be sot iwed m *c colony]
