Our specialty is well-known to be oui ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules "ft ill always b« 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 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 oi navicular 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, a« is too common, thereby aoting 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 toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate* weight of the body being sustained there. There is no compariso .* points of qualtt between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mperted andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m the cr»*«nv Clover Seed. CHOICE /QUALITY OF COWGEASS, RE.
