E. A. Nyberg. the blacksmith has
about the only shoeing rack in this
part of the country, and it is a good
one. A horse is led into framework
Of timbers. A rope halter is put on
him which has four ropes attached to
: ings, two to front and two to back OF
. i'm. Ii necessary large canvass
belt is run under his stomach, with
which the animal can be lifted off the
floor. A patent attachment Is hitched
to the desired foot and there Mr..
Horse is entirely at the mercy OF the
shOer, as he can neither go forward,
backward, sidewise, up or down and
the man can stand and do his work
without being hampered by the horse
tearing around. Mr.. Nyberg says
that the people around Corona are
the very best, but when it comes to
horses, some Of them are the limit.
and as he did not care to have his life
insurance policy cashed any sooner
than possible, he put in the shoeing
rack.
