Russia has tried an experiment with
aluminium shoes for cavalry horses. y few
horses in the Finland dragons were shod
with one aluminium shoe and three iron
! shoes each, the former being on the fore
foot in some eases and on the bind III others.
| The experiments lasted six weeks, and
! showed that the aluminium shoes lasted
I longer and preserved the foot better than
( the iron ones. No aluminium shoes broke,
and they were used over again for reshoe-
| ing. The horses, moreover, were worked
over hard and very stony ground. The
most important fact of all is that aluminium
shoes are only one-third to onc-fonrth the
weight of iron shoes.
