until it burns into it to a depth almost
sufficient to bury itself. 1t is necessary
that the shoe have a long toe and long
corks. a piece of circular band iron to

attached to the board and over the hoot
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end of the band is fastened to the
board with a screw, which when tight
ened holds the board as squarely to the
bottom of the hoof as if it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after a day or two
experience no difficulty in working in
