ve,erinary surgeon at Paris, which has
been used with great success in France
for five years on horses employed IL DIFF
ferent services, and has received the sa
tion of the Imperial Agricultural Society.
He said, ubstanlial!y: A good sys-
tom of shoeing has been long sought for !;
MANY would even NJ loager shoe the
horse to avoid the numberlesss defects Of
the usual mode But the shoe IS to this
dav the only way OF preventing the wear
Of the foot we must, therefore, try TO re-
dnce the size Of the shoe as much as pos
sible in reforming 1T Our shoelng an

whole strength is left to the bare foot;

bars, I'd The new method OF prepar

width of the crust 7fh, It's lIghtness,
being about onethlrd the weight of the
ordinary shoe.
9Th. The new nlanner OF forging the
shoe-stamplnga ud mailing it. A square,
or nearly square, little bar Of iron is turn
ed cold, IN Il very sh 'rt lme, or hot. One
man alone can stamp it with two rounded
punches.
The shape and direction of the nail
holes are peculiar, nec"ssitated by the
unusual thickness and nArr"wness OF the
shoe. The exterior ri rhe hole is u
rounded oval; the hole Is funnel-shaped
the upper orifce is square. The rall has
exactly the same sha pea head of length

conditions, the ne" shoe, of good qualify

thickness of the shoe, are solid. The
are taken off as soon as they become use
less, being even hurtful on hard and leve
ground.
In fine, the new shoe is not difficult t.
use, and no more liable to accidents thar

it lasts sufficient length of time, and /
no more expensive than the common shoe
1t is an orthopedic and pathological shoe
sufficient, frequently alone, to cure colns

susceptible of modification according t.
the worst feet; and when the instruction
Of farriers is extended, iC will be know
and applied easily everywhere.
