MI. Russell estimates that it costs a
hundred million dollars q year TO shoe
the horses of the United States. And
he adds encouragingly that, could we
begin now, we might In a few centuries
be able TO dispense altogether with this
enormous outgo.
Horses hard at work should have wa
ter il possible more than three times Q

To keep up tine supply ofi horses Il sshss
