Our specialty is well-known to' be our ability and knowledge of the horse's f®ot. In a well ordered shoeing Forge the following standard rules will always be bserv ed : — 1. A shoe should never be removed 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 conies 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, and 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 ioot being thinner upon the inside and the.greote * weight pf the body being sustained there. There is no compariso - points of qudlit between the hand made and the machine, made shpe, The machine-made fhoe is at a coarser material, softer, and is mpertod andit should be insisted upon that they be cpt used m &« colony
