Breeder and sportsman . CUT NO. Shows a shoe too small. The hoof is rasped down to makeit fit the shoe. The enamel on the outside is destroyed up toand above the nail holes. The shell is tapered down to athin edge where it touches the shoe. Many times we haveseen the shell rasped away until no part of it reaches downto the shoe. The weight of the horse is carried on the soleof the hoof—where it is soft. The hoof will soon grow outover and beyond the shoe and it will become embedded inthe bottom of the hoof—the horse will be uncomfortablefrom the first—his discomfort will increase from day

The hoof will soon grow outover and beyond the shoe and it will become embedded inthe bottom of the hoof—the horse will be uncomfortablefrom the first—his discomfort will increase from day today—the hoof will become more or less dry and brittle—the horse will be liable to develop corns, etc. No horse shodin this way will long remain good-gaited, sure-footed orperfectly sound in his feet. All this cutting away the sole,bars or frog or burnng the bottom with a hot shoe or rasp-ing the outside are contrary to nature, to common senseand to good workmanship. Price $4 per can.
