HORSE OWNERS.
The Spring Heel Shoe Said to be the Best
Made

Horse shoeing has been practiced in one
form or another ever since the horse in re-
mote ages was tanned and subdued for the
use of man. If shooting is not properly
done IL produces many diseases of the feet
and renders the horse useless. How many
horse shoers are sufficiently familiar with
the horses feet to perform this art? 1t is
easy TO ruin good horse in few times
bad shOeing; it is also possible when a
horse Is lame from any cause to, in a
measure remove the lRmeneSS and some
times to entirely cure it by proper shoe
ing. AS the work of the sheer is confined
solely 10 the horses hoof, it is essential
that he should thoroughly understand
what he is doing. We frequently hear
horse shoers claiming to understand the
business that could not describe the coffin
bone or tell where il is located. Often as
quick as man gets so that he can dress a
foot and fit a shoe he will start shop
and advertise TO do first class horse
shoeing In order for him to secure
work it is necessary for him to put prices
down low and he thinks when he puts on
a. shoe 1t Is as good work as any one can
do. Mr.. Miller, of 100 North Lawrence
avenue, is not cutting prices, but he is
putting on the cork pad for the protection
of horses feet. These pads are made of
cork compound which makes them very
light, elastic and durable; the pads fit on
Top of the shoe next to the foot and is open
SO that the sole of the horses foot is eX-
posed to the air and moisture, which pre-
vents heating, while cushion is provided
for the frog of the foot, for horses travel
ing on hard roads and paved streets
Horseshoeing Is necessity, but the com
mon shoe raises the horses frog from the
ground and thereby the action of the frog
IS prevented. The feet dry out and become
contracted and hard and soreness and other
troubles are apt to follow. The cork pad
