sHoElNG HORSES.
How the NObIest OF Animals is Some
times Tortured by Ignorant
Farriers.

Those of US who have suffered from the
'ashoeing" sometimes performed for US by
jackleg shoemskers, will sympsthizs with
the horse whose "corns are pinched" by
unthinking Crispins wEo work in iron in
stead OF leather, and for the qusdrHped
instead of the biped. Mr.. Fleming, Of the
Royal Engineers, Chatham, England, has
written an exhaustive and able treatise
upon the conformation of the horses foot,
and Gives some very sensible directions to
the farrier in e ting and fastening on the
shoes, from which We make the following
extract:
"Whsn the foot is lifted up backward,
we see the sole and the freq. The sole is
the part that lies within the wall; it is
slightly hollow in a good foot, and is thick,
strong ana covered with flakes of loose
horn In one which hiss not BEEN pared by
the farrier's knife. The frog Is soft, tri-
Singular piece OF horn in the middle Of the
sole, toward the heel. II is very elastic,
and serves q most important purpose, as
it acts as a cushion to prevent concnssion,
and siso hindeFs the horse from slipping.
The sole, frog snd lower border Of the
wall have all to come in contact with
the ground and loose stones; there
fere, nature has furnished them with
an sbundsnce Of horn, 10 make
them strong enough to bear the horses
weight, Withstand wear, and keep the
Gelicste parts from injury. The
number OF hoTsss toFthrsd sld rpined by
unreasonable pairing aud rssplng, In addi-
ton TO the heavy shoes too spe1 for the
feet and badly formed, is beyond oompu-
tation. The frog and sole should never
be pared, they fiske of gradually when
they have reached certain and proper
thickness; and as they haYe TO colne in
oohtact with the inequalities Of the
ar6Gnd. and with the loose sharp stones
80 frequently on Its surface, La 1t not res.
sonable 70 urge that they should be al
lowed 20 retain their nstursl condition7
Whoever pares, or causes to be pared, q
horssis soies or frogs, Is guilty Of cruelty
10 the horse whose feet are so mutilsted.
The front of the wall should never be
rasped. Ii destroys it, and makes it thin
and brittle. It ought TO be allowed TO re-
tain its close, glossy, tough surface,

weather and holding the nails. AH
ths wsu is alBays growing, and as
the shoe prevents its being worn down
TO 3 natural length, when the old shoe ia
taken of, in the operation OF shoeing, the
lower end only of this part of the boof
should be rasped down until the excess OF
length has been removed; nothing more.
The shoes should be as Light as possible,
and fastened on with - small 3 number
of nails as will retain them. They ought

in the APPEAL OF Octobsr 18th. He
"throWs mud in the most approved style
He rants yea, he "beEts tie air." He
feels sorelys the "fiauntinR headlines Of

has the audscity TO pronounce as false the
allegations contained in my letter, al
though 40 knows they are notoriouslv
true. He, howey5T, ''sorsEs Up his cour-
age" sufficiently to admit that negro did
secure ths hizhest grade certificate at the
meeting OF the teseheEs institute, and YET
ne would have us to understand that
the fsot had not been msde

In his own net; for lie must either admit
thst il hsd been inside public, or that your
OoYrosnon6snt is q most excellent proph-
ct. Which horn OF tbs dilems will he
tskef
his assertion that It was "common
thing bsA,Te the war for white people
and negroes in the South" to take seats
prouaiscuously in any public house, is so
pslpsbly false ss TO scarcely need refu-
tstion. The fellow must be demented
The relation of an additional incident
will further develop the motives OF "the
supeFintendeHt.V He announced st the
close of the morning session OF the Day
on which Senator Clayton spoke, that Tbs

to show that the expression OF "both

keeps, We may reasonably conclude thst
according to "his idea" sll OF Venus was
centerod in the individual who
sscsrried eff the blue ribbon" on
that occasion 1t may be mentioned, how
ever, for the sake of his grammatical
nerves, thes numerous examples from
good writers might be given, IN which the
expressiou, "both sexes" Is employed In

or unskillfulness In bsndling their
legs and feet, they are frequently made so
timid and vicious, that severe meas

intelligent farrier is boon 70 every COM
munity; but one who Is harsh, inobssrv-
ant, and pays no attention TO perfecting
his most useful srt, is q torturer Of ami
mails and 3 destroyer OF property. Far
riers, Of all men who have to DO with
horses, csn confer upon these good crea-
tues the greatest amount of relief and
comfort, by attending to the simple indi
cations Of nature, and using their
own common sense and judgment,
instead OF ahering to stupid and
blind routine, which never improves,
but, on the contrary, retrogsdes. Every
lover OF the horse should see that It's
beauty is not deformed, or its utility
marred by system that Is as outrageous
TO the meanest comprehension es It is
disgrsceful to the age we live in. The
more we understand the Great Creators

to thwart them"
We know of one fsrrier in the city who
has made the study of his profession q
lifelong work, and has well earned the
Communications bestowed upon him by all
horsemen whose animals have had his
care, and IL horses could speak, his praise
would be sounded by the proudest of the
equins race. He believes that no more
exquis1testorture can be inflicted upon
the animal than to cnt out the "frog'' of
Its foot, and stoutly affirms that he who
would 1T a shoe by burning the hoof,
should have bis own "trotters" reduced
in the same way. Mr.. B. Pitcher, Of No.
So Monroe street, is the fsrrier referred to,
and we cheerfully commend him to the
owners of fine stock as one fully capable
of performing his duty.
