It is imortant to notice that'every biscuit s stamped—"Bnffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the qualiy of which we guarantee Twenty hillings per cwt, carriage paidJJ SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.

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 1 always be! bserved:— " ; :i l ' A shoe should never be removed without ; 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 ft! regularly attended foot. And in a healthy 1 foot where there are no' sirhptons of navicular disorder, tue sole should not be out. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not bi sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendousi The nails should be driven level &nd uni] form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the loot being thinner upon the inside and the greate* weight of the body being sustained there. ; There is no compariso r 1 points of qualit between the hand made and the machine made shoe.
