We studied the trade of a practical horse-shoer in connection with a reading course in. veterinary medicine and while 1 do not keep a forge to fit shoes, 1 do most. of the "moving" of shoes on our horses, says a writer in Practical Horseman. A shoeing kit does not cost yyuch when compar- ed with its valle to a farmer; ours. consisting of hammer, rasp, knife and nippers, costing about 2. " A shoe should not remain on a young or growing horse niore than four wecks, nor on any horse more than eight Weeks, Most shoeing smiths have several bad faults, and the general farmer these faults. Many farmers insist on the smith earning his money, and want to see hiy trim the hoof down real thin, "and do a nice, neat job of tasping down the front of the hoof." Pretty soon the smith enters into the spirit of the thing, and despite the fact that he knows he is doing wrong, ents away every is to blame for bit of horn, , sole and frog that ke possibly can with out laming the animal. Keep the knife away from the bars and sole of the foot, and any further than to ro move bits of detached or ragged harn, never allow a rasp to touch the front of the hoof. As a rule, too heavy shoes are used and in a great majority of cases the nails used are much too large I never use a nail heavier than No. 6, and nearly alwavs No. 5 on my own horses,and they do some very heavy pulling on hard roads. Caulks or toes are not to be thought of during the summer, and in winter we have them very low and sharp. A horse on the farm, now fourteen years old, was "foundered" at three Years, resulting in chronic laminitis At five years he was thought to be worthless, when T took him in hand. His shoes were removed, and he was put to work plowing, viling his hoofs onoe a day with machine oil. When his services were needed on the row) ho had an old set of shoes driven on. the shoes being removed as soon as the road work was done. We kept the hools trimmed down pretty well, and kept up the oiling once a day for nearly a yoar. He was kept shod during four n 8 of winter. and only a few Hays at a time during summer for four years and is as good a horse today as any of his age | know of. Attend to the colt's hoofs when they are on pasture, and if they get too long trim them down. I have seen colts' feet get so long that the hor broke off up to a sensitive part, and in one case knew a good colt to have deformed hoof from it. -------- Are free from all erude and irritat- ing matter.
