AMERICAN HoRsESnoES.

The old world people as we'll as those
who will journey to the Paris, exposi-
tion from the new, will this year be
treated to an original exhibition OF the
skill which American horseshoers are
called upon 10 display in the shoeing OF
the horse. In the mechanical building
there will be seen a collection Of one
hundred and seventy-five different de-
signs of shoes, which Celebrates about
the sum total that the knowledgable
horseshoer is called upon TO make and
adapt to as many different types of
disease and defects In travel and gait
which mans best friend" is heir TO,
says the Horseshoers' Journal.
II is not an absolute certainty that
the horse Is subject 10 full one hun
dred and seventy-five defects and dis
eases in the hoofal region and which
are durable by the application OF shoe
set by skilled artisan, neither Is IL
decisive that there are more than this
number Of different calls made on the
horseshoer for a proof of his knowledge
and skill; but the fact is certain that
the shoes to be shown in Paris are de-
signed for the treatment OF that num-
Der OF defects and diseases OF the hoof
and leg. and differing essentially may
be said to represent separate and indi-
vfdual cases, though in certain in
stances but a slight divergence can he
traced In eases for which some OF the
shoes are applied.
Consequently the conclusions may be
safely arrived at that this number OF
ailments attack the extremities or tho
horse. and, above all other means-a
remedy for each and all is found in a
scientifically applied shoe.
To the average man, whether or not
he is acquainted with horse locomotion.
this presentation OF fact will cause sur
demanded OF tho shoer OF horses, but as
consideration Is given the subject OF
speed and gait of the many varieties
which the horse Is relied on to furnish
and as the manifold proofs Of ignorance
which he is subjected 20 In the hand

The American exhibit has been con-
tributed bv one hundred and seventy
five practical horseshoers living In the
same number ~ places. every large

Canada being represented I'm the coll
lection. which is pronounced TO be the
most complete ever brought together.
