PILLORY HORSES
TO SHOE THEM

That horses may not rear and caper
while they are being shod. John Cath
cart, a blacksmith at Front and Tat
nall streets, has rugged an ingenious
device which is viewed by many per-
sons daily. 1t is as humane as it is
effectual
The machine is built on the principle
Of the stocks in which prisoners were
confined along the streets in olden
times, although heavily padded so that
no injury can possibly come to the ami
NAL confined therein.
It consists primarily of two heavy
padded shafts, which swing from
against the wall precisely as IL attach
ed to a WAGON. After the horse is
backed between these shafts a strong
canvas is placed beneath him, and af-
ter being fastened In place isfaised by
means Of winches until the animal is
lifted clear from the ground.
A stout rope is then passed around
the back of the animal, to steady him,
after which a device attached to the
side Of the shafts is brought into play.
In this arrangement the horses hoof is
caught and held as I'm a wise, while a
system Of levers and cam wheels bring
1t into any position the workman may
desire.
This is the only machine of its kind
in the state. II entirely does away
