Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a veil 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 tlie foot, endangering the horse when j the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2. The frog and bare 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. i 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 loot being thinner upon the inside and the greate* weight of the body being sustained there. There is no compariso r points of q uali t between the hand made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is mported andifc should be insisted upon that they be eot used m tfce colony^ '
