No HorSc-Shocs.

The slipping of horses on the asphalte
pavements in London has given rise to
some discussion as to the proper form for
shoes, whereupon 4 writer in the Times
comes forward with the recommendation
that no horse-shoes at all be used! He
says he has constantly dispensed with
them since 1852, adding: 81 have owned
over two hundred animals at one time
dedicated to all manner of purposes,
draugnt, saddle, and pack, and not one
of them shod. Some one will say that
they worked over grass or sand. They
did not, but over the roughest roads i'm:
aginable, in places excessively hard, and
in others as disagreeably soft and heavy"
He gives his experience in Brazil, where
pack k-horses, without being shod, travel
journeys of over eight hundred miles.
Unshod horses are also used in Brazilian
cities, without slipping on the pavement.
Of course, says the writer, if an owner
were to pull off his horses shoes and at
once ride him long distance, he would
find his horse 60 tender on his feet; but
were he to use him gently for q fortnight,
and gradually let him feel his feet, keep
ing the edges of the hoof slightly round
ed off with n rasp to prevent the raveling
up of the edges OF hoof for the first
time since colthood brought naked to the
ground, he would be greatly surprised.
Occasional pairing will always be needed,
but the frog should not be cut. The
writer thus anticipates an objection
which will occur to many readers: "Some
one will be likely to say that draught
horses have to dig their toes into the
ground to start load. Of course they
have when they are shod. But the un-
shod horse starts with the fiat of his foot,
which affords him 4 much larger and
more holding surface, more holding be,
cause it is tougher and rougher than a
bright shoe."- ."-Boston Journal
