It is imortant to notice that every biscuit s stamped—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the qualiy of which we guarantee Twenty hiilings per c wt, carriage" paid'! 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 always be bserved :— 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 ia 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 havicillar disorder, tue sole'shbuld 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 fever upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and uni] form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate- weight of the body beirig suatained there. ' There is no compariso points of qualit 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 ripdn that they be not used m fete of'nnv I Clover Seed, j QHOICE QUALITY \ OF COWG.BABS, BED, WHITE, AND ALSIKE NOW LANDING ex "BANGATIRA. _—.
