WHAT ADVOCATES OF REMOVING HORSES SHOES n,
WET AND SNOWY WEATHER SAT.
Mr. Key, agent OF the Humane society, advocates
working horses without shoes while there is snow
on the ground. This theory Is said to be fast
growing In favor among hOrsemen. MI. Key says:
sHorses' shoes should be removed during wet
weather. and replaced in slippery weather. Where
this is practiced horses viii seldom, II ever, be
troubled with defective feet" Since the recent
snowy weather Mr.. Key has addressed note to
Mr.. Samuel g. Eberly, superintendent OF the her
die stables, on Capitol Hin, stating that he Il
pleased to see that all Of his horses are unshod,
and asking him to give his views.
Mr. Eberly replied: "Relattve to working horses
without shoes while there is snow on the streets,
my experience during the past and present win
ter. with over 400 horses, has proven that great
Dement'S result to the horses feet: am 80 con-
WINGED OF the good in 1t, that venture to give my
opinion, that It would be generally Beneficial to
horses feet to remove the shoes while the snow is
soft and OF sufIicent depth to prevent the hoof
from coming in contact with the pavementa The
result Is it s0ftens up the hoo thoroughly ceanses
