DOGS. MANY years since we had the pleasure to introduce to the public our BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, extensively used m the principal kennels of the world Since that time we have made many im portance improvements m th ir manufacture —improvements not of the nature of veget compounds which may be added to any ood of a trifling cost, but of the nature t produce good hard flesh and mtiscle, ingra clients which no other Biscuit orDogFoodc possesses, and for which we have received numerous medals and high recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor Dj Zurn, who after many careful analysis and experiments pronounced these biscuits \ ibe of the greatest excellence, and to ntain double the quantity of nourish moßt that is to be found m the flesh, thus farming he best and most successful food for dogs hat is possible to produce. It is imortant to notice that every biscuit s stamped—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the qualiy of which we guarantee Twenty hiilings per c wt, carriage paid! SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.

Our specialty is; well-known to be oui ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. ■In! a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules will always be bserved:— 1 A shoe should never be removed without first cutting off the clinches, because: by siniply turning back the clinch m drawing thfe 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, tqe sole should not be cut.' ' ' '' • ' ' 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] 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 sustained 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 material, softer, and is mperted andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m the c'nnv OloTer Seed.
