condemning it is that I have seen men pare too much from one quarter, and after that the foot could not be levelled. This is not so with the rasp and knife, and the man who uses the rasp and knife will dress the foot as Nature made it. When dressing the feet for the shoes be sure and have them level ; don’t pare away too much. Leave the horse enough foot to stand the jar of the hard roads and pavements. Take off the loose shell and fragments of the frog and leave the bars strong. If there be any sign of corns do not make too large a hole between the bars unless it is ulcerated, for so doing weakens the quarters and causes quar ter cracks, false quarters, and quittors. Do not be too fond of digging after corns if they are not visible, because they will not hurt. The greatest trouble shoers have is with interfering. To remedy this balance the feet pro perly, shoe lightly with thr< e nails on the inside close to the toe, fit full to the inside quarter well bevelled from the foot surface.
