BHOEI*G AND OARE OF THE FEET

ADVICE BY A VRTBKINA ..Y SURGEON Shoeing or nailing » rim of iron to Hhe extremities of the horse is, from the altered conditions under which he exists, a riecpssarc evil. The foot is a delicate and sensitive organ covered 'uid protected by a hard horny c^^, which nature has t-o i't;.«de that as it is worn away it is replaced. Tn other words, the repair is in proportion to the wear and tear. Th*t was so when the horse! was under natural conditions, bat we hive soalt^rn^ Uipsp conditions y: making him' work on causewayed streeta and tnaci*cUniised roads that the Wear and tear are in exorss of the repair. Tfai?, cf course, could not, last long i the soft structures wou'd soon be exposed, causing; the horse feo he csome Same aud useless. To prevent bucl* a result » rim of iron is placed on the. fuot, and th« iron being in contact With tho ground eaves the horn irom pxcessivß w jir. In THE OPERATION OF SHOEINS the moat important part is the fit-ting of the shoe, and unfortunately, espe cially in towns, there is a tendency to make the foot fit the shoe instead of thp shoe fit, the foot. To enable the smith to fit the shoe properly s ife is nw» saary to apply it to the foot; at a moderate h^at, just sufficient to bur" or mark where it is resting, then by j rasping the blackened parts he is able i to make the shoe rest evenly all round. Owing to various causes this practice, especially in the country, Is much abused, for we find the smith applying the shoe at such a high temperature as to barn away the excessive or super fluous horn. This is done to save him extra labour with the knife or rasp, and, although he certainly is to blame, the real fault lies with the owner of the horse allowing the animal to go too long with the saaoe set of shoes on its feet. Tt ?.b no uncommon thing for farm horses to go three months without the ghees being removed, and natu rally when the shoes are taken off there is a very large amount of horn to be pared away. To save himself the labour the smith APPLIES THE SHO3 SO HOT. that it burns this extra horn away, but he forgets or he does not know, that the horn fibres are being: shrivelled up, and the matrix allowed to escape, leaving the koof very brittle and liable to break off In pieces. This is the reason why, when a horße loses a Bhoe, he is unable to travel far without pieces of the wall breaking off *nd damaging the foot. As to the fixing of the shoe in position, ft is a fact that if the nails are driven a short distance up the horn before mak ing their appearance through the wall, the hold is more secure than when they »r© driven a long way up in the sub sttnee (f the horn. To understand this one has but to remember that the wall is composed of horn films running parallel to each other from the coronet to the f-xirem'ty of the hoof, and when the vail is driven along wa? up it must travel alongside some of the fibres, an'l when it makes its appearance through the wall there is little or nothinsr for the clench to be turner! upon, but when the short hold is t<=ken instead of travelling with the fibres it cuts through or across them, and tho clench is turned downupf'n soli'l horn. Although THE RASP is most n-eful in making everything smooth and removing excessive horn, it should never be uswl above the nail clinches, as there it removes the ptotect iug coat of periopl* 1, and allows extremes of terapr-rature and moisture to enter into the substance of the horn, and thus detfrioiate it. As a rulf, shoeing smiths ure too free with tho knife, and remove sound, living horn which has not jet fulfill d its function; r o long as the born of the sole breaks off in fivnt of the knife in flakes or piecps the smith knows he is paring horn wliich is dead, bat immediately it begins to pare like cheese, then he is paring horn which is living, and which has not com pleted the protective function which nature intended it to perform. It is tbe same with the frog, which in the boree is the same as the pads found on the feet of dogs, cats, camels, and other animals. No Bane ahepherd would ever think that bis dog would fee better able to herd the sheep if he pared the pads from his feet, but we have a large number of smiths who think that the horae goes better when WHEN THEY PABES HIS ¥ B©G go far Is this idea carried that many imitha attribute lameness to'the fact that tbe frog is in contact with the ground. An a matter of fnct, nature Intended that the frog should! bear its proportion of the weight of the animal, I io that unless tbe frog is diseased no ! horse could ever go lame from pressure open fchis part. Indeed, tbe hor&e which lasts longest is the one which is iihod plain—without heels or toes —and the frog sufficiently large ag to be in contact with the ground, bearing a proportion of the animal'd weight, and from its elasticity reducing the concus sion which is so productive of hone diseases. The smith is often blamed for spoiling feet or not paying proper attention to them, but in most cases it is the farmer who is meet to blame. How much responsibility can be at tached to the smith when he only see® the feet, say, four times a year ? It is penny wise and pound foolish for a farmer to work a horse as long as the shoe hangs on for the horse is always growing and the foot becoming shape less. The bpst rule to lay down for the c»re ol the feet ia to have the shoes, whether worn or not removed ®vptj six week*.—People's Journal
