go to the store for kerosene. Taking
the baby on one arm and the kero-

A horses hoof Ia really the sans
thing as the toe or finger nails OF hu-
man beings, or OF animals bayin9
toes. The hoof grows just as a toe
nail does and more rapidly on tinsAod
horses than on those wearing shoes
Its growth Is much faster on horses
that are well groomed and we'll fed,
upon an average OF third OF an inch
month. The hind hoofs grow faster
than the fore hoofs. The toe OF the
hoof being the longest part, it takes
longer for it to grown down there than
at the heel. The new hoof grows out
any cracks or defects in the whole,
gradually working down to where
1t can be cut OF, just as with human
finger nails.
