Lameness In Horses.

Shoeing is very frequent cause Of
lameness and in a great many cases
OF incurable lameness. Sufficient at
tention is not given to this matter 1t
often happens that by little mechan-
ical contrivance in the alteration Of
the shoe or in the way the foot is shod
the horse will travel sound or become
workably sound. Bad shoeing and the
mulitation of the foot render many a
horse valueless, and cutting away the
frog, removing frog pressure, cutting
at the bars and shortening the toes
are main causes of chronic diseases of
the foot. The horses foot being ex-
ceedingly vascular and it's blood sup
ply great, it naturally follows that if
the foot is mutilated the blood supply
becomes impeded, and consequently
chronic diseases and atrophy are
set up.

last to learn that Henry Temple of this

gave away and buried him beneath a

was done but to no avail.
