The New Horseshoe.

The English agricultural and other
press are in raptUres over the Yates
horseshoe constructed of cow-hide.
II is composed Of three thicknesses of
cow-hide, compressed into a steel
mould. and then subjected to chem
ical preparation. It is claimed for it
that 1t lasts longer and weighs only
one-fourth as much as the common
iron shoe; that it will never cause the
hoof to split, nor have the least inju-
rious influence on the foot. 1t re-
quires no calks; even on asphalt the
horse never slips. The shoe is so ell
astic that the horse's step Is lighter
and surer. It sdheres so closely to
the foot that neither dust nor water
con penetrate between the shoe and
hoof. Ifall that is claimed for 1t be
true, the new hide shoe will prove a
great Improvement upon the old. The
idea, however, is by no means new
one. At the time of the Roman and
Carthagean wars it was a frequent
practice among cavalry officers to bind
the feet of their horses with raw cow
hide to protect them during an en-
gagement. The inventor of the new
shoe, Mr.. Yates, of Manchester, En-
gland, Is nevertheless entitled to
every consideration for utilizing, in
practical form, raw-hide as a substi
tute for heavy iron shoes.
