How to Shoe Horses.

You must shoe the foot according to the pc
culiarity and demands, not according to any
specific system or shoe" Give the ground
surface level bearing. LEI he frog come to
the ground and the weight IF the horse rest
on the frog as much as any other part Of the
foot. II project beyond the shoe So much
the better. That is what Was made tor aud
to catch the weight on an elastic principle.
Never, under any circumstances cut 1t ,.Way.
Put two nails in the shoe on each side and
both forward OF the quarters, and one in the
toe directly in front OF the foot Let tho G on
the sides be an inch apart, then You will lie
sure not to cut and tear taa foot. Let the
nails and nail holes be small, for they will
aid in saving the foot. 1t will still futher
aid in saving 1t by letting the nails run we'll
up into the hoot, for that keeps the shoe
steadier on the foot. The hoOt is lust as thick
to within an inch of the top, and is generally
sounGer, and OF u better substance, than it is
at the bottom Keep the first reason for
shoelng apparent in your mind always-th.t
you must only shoe your horse because his
feet will not stand the roads without it, And
whenever you can, shoe him with a shoe exact
ly the shape of his foot some blacksmths
will insist on making a shoe, and then shap-
ing the foot olt The first or central surface
Of the hoof, made hard by the animals own
peculiar way of travelling, indicates the man
ner in which he should be >hpd. All the ?rt in
tn" world cannot improve this, for it is a model
prepared by nature. Let the shoes be as light As
possible, aud without calks if it can be done,
as the horse always travels unsteady On them.
The Goodenougn shoe is far superior to tho
old calked shoe, and will answer every purs
pose where hodldg Is necessary. 1t is also
good in mountainous countries, and there is
no danger of he animal csIking himself with
It, l have carefully observed the different eff
tects OF shoes while with the troops on the
march. accompanied the Seventh Infantry,
IN 1858, in its march to Cedar Valley, IN
Utah, a distance of fourteen hundred miles,
and noticed that scarcely man who wore re-
gulation shoes had blister on his feet while
the clviliins, who did not, were continually
falling out, and dropping to the rear from tie
effects of narrow and improper shoes and boots.
The same is the case with the ANNA. The
loot must have something fiat and broad to
bear on. The first care of those having charge
OF horses should be to see that their feet are
kept US near the natural shape as possible
Then. If the lave OF nature be observed, and
strictly oheyed, the animals feet will last as
long and he as sound in his domestic state as
he would be IN state of nature.
