In England, and ON many parts Of the
continent, they have been for a long
time using the Yates horseshoe. one
made by COMPRISING common COW hide.
1t is composed Of three thicknesses of
the COW skin pressed into a steel mould,
and then subjected to chemical prep
aration. 1t is claimed for it that it is
much lighter. that it lasts longer, and
that split hoofs are never known in horses
using it. 1t is perfectly smooth on the
bottom. no calks being required, the shoe
adhering firmly on the most polished
surface. Its elasticity prevents many
sprains, the horses steps being lighter
and surer. Straw, treated with chemi-
Gala unknown, has been used for horse-
shoes for centuries in Japan. Perhaps
