Our specialty is well-known fco be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules vill always be observed :— 1. A shoe should never he removed withou 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 a regu arly attended foot. And in a healthy foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be spuing at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful l«ver upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the foot being thinner upon the inside and the greate- weight of the body hmg su.4#^pd tIWQ- There is no compacfap? points of quftlity 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 they be not used in the colony^
