is many hundreds OF miles. In other
words their motion does not AFFECT the

says Leslie's Weekly. What has been

Is considered an honor to be member
OF the society, and only surgeons whe

eligible. Each member takes HIS turn

Inc usefulness OF a horse depend:

his usefulness is Impaired and he can
not be depended on In any emergency,
as he IS liable. when his services are
most needed. to become partially il not
wholly disabled. resulting in serious
loss to his owner But few horses are
born with perfect feet yet the defects
by careful treatment are often entire
y cured; also many horses with sound
boots are practically ruined BY the
ignorance or carelessness OF black
smiths.
The proper shoeing OF horses and the
general care OF their feet is a matter
that should receive the strict attention
Of every farmer. and yet, as a rule.
It Is wofully neglected. The farmer
should have knowledge OF the natural
formation OF horses foot. so as to be 4
able to determine whether the animal /
IS being properly shod or not. and
while that is being done he should
never go away and leave the smith TO
slight the work to get through with II
or butcher its feet If he does not IN
derstand his business.
While no definite rules for shoeing
horses can be given. some general prin-
ciples are acknowledged by all com
petent borseshoers. namely, the heel
should never be cut except to remove
