Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a. well ordered shoeing forge the follcwihg standard rules will always be bseryed:—; 1 ■' A shoe should never be removed without first cutting off the clinches, because, by.. •simply turning back the clinch in drawing jj the nail a piece of the clinch is often left ji in the foot, endangering the horse, when the new shoe comes tobe driven on. 2. The frog and bars require no cutting in a regularly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no sirriptons of navlciilar 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 tendoTia The nails should be driven level and uni* form, an,d only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the loot being thitaner 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.
