Errors in shoeine Horses.

Crippled and hoof bound horses are be.
coming more and more common where tn y
are used on hard roads, and the methods Of
shoeing adopted by many blacksmiths TO
prevent lamencss, in the opinion Of the wri.
ter, only increases the evil. Usually shoes
are made with the nail.holes too near the
toe. This leaves the heel unsupported, and
throws the strain, in travelling and pulling,
about midway between the heel and toe,
which is the weakest part of the hoof Of
ten, when the shoes are removed, the sole Of
the foot is found torn loose from the hoof at
the heels, leaving sores called coras. This
is more common with heavy widefouted
horses, though the same style Of shOcing will
produce il in all.
Burning the hoof with the hot shoe, to fit
it to its place, is often practsed. A nun.
Of years experience has taught me that this
should not be done. When horses hoof
is properly trimmed, the sole is less than
quarter Of an inch thick; burning will crisp
and destroy the life Of the seam, causing the
sole and hoof to separate. This is followed
BY sprawling and rottenness Of the hoOf,
lowering Of the sole, turning up Of the toe,
and general illshape of the foot, and the
horse becomes clumsy cripple.
Horses likely to become bloodhound gen
orally havesmall, tough, horny hoofs of good
growth; but, with proper care, they may be
kept free from lameness. II the shoes be
not properly fastened near the heels it eau.
ses the toe to incline forward, the sole be.
comes hard and dead, the heels contract and
the frog is injured. Lameness must follow
from the action of the coffin joint being re.
tardcd.
To keep the foot in its natural shape, the
shoe should be made to fit wide at the heels
the, "calk" should stand square, inclining
little outward. The shoe should be nailed
well back towards the heels, say from an
inch and quarter to two inches from the
calks, thus securing it solidly from heel to
toe, When the foot Is in its natural shape,
as strong nail-hold can be had at the turn
Of the heel as anywhere about the hoof.
The clip, or outward projection from the
shoe, used by many, is worse than useless.
The hoof Is weakened by the notch made to
receive It, and is injured by the burning
given TO fit It in. By this treatment horses
whose feet have been worn short OF the toe,
have often been laIned by crlsping the sole
and affecting the quick, causing Il to tester
in few days after shoeing. After horses
feet have been thus maltreated, Il will most
generally take from six months to years
proper care TO restore them 10 sound con.
