W. T. Kicgstou, WILLS STKEET, NEXT COOKSON.'S STABLES, ASHBTJRTON, HAS had three years' experience with Thomas Talbot, M.R.C.V.S., of Scotland Yarrl two years with Corneliu, Saunderson, M.R.C.V.S., Clupham Com mon, and ten years with George Balls M.R.C.V.S., Brixton, all of London' and has also gained a good reputation m the Colony. Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the folk wing 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 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 sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be sprang 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 toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate weight of the body being 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 mperted andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m fcbe coin«v
