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 bserv ed :•— . 1 'A shoe should never be remeved without first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch m drawing 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, tqe eoleshould not be cut. ■ v '" ■'.' I 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, mud should not b| sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons , s ■■ The nails should be driven level and unij form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the create" weight of the body being sustainetfthere. There is no compariso ? points of quality .between the hand made and the machine made shoe.
