A Horse'sToe Nails.

Few persons realize that horse 5 hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani- mals hay ing toes. The horn of hoof grows just as toe nall does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are we'll groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about [ third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of. just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of a bruise from the root to the tip.- london Answers.
