SHOOTING HORSES.

Horses require shooting, on an average
once a month. The length of time shoe
will wear depends much on the kind of
service horse is doing, and oh the kind
of road he is already travelling a team
horse in heavy draughts does not wear
out as many shoes as one used in hack
quick motion grinds shoes down more rap
idly than slow use. Some pavement is
harder on shoes than an ordinary road,
while the friction on gravley road wears
them away rapidly. Confinement and I'M
skilful shoeing change the anatomical
relations OF the food, and the best judy
ment of the mechanic is often taxed TO
correct the growing deformty from I'M
skillful shoeing. When reasoning.
skillful mechanic found, the horse is safe
in his hands, Tor he only preserves the
the normal shape OF the hoot, and adjusts
the shoe to protect it. The frog in the
foot of the horse is placed there for par
ticular purpose, and should not be cut by
the sheer. II Ibis be allowed. contrac-
ton and lameness will follow. The shape
and weight of the shoe should be accom-
modated to the purposes for which they
are designed. The tiack-horse requires a
shoe lighter and without calks, while the
draght-horse must have heavy, broad
shoe, with calks, to enable him 10 obtain
foothold and travel with the least possible
strain.
