On this account the only reliable and practical cure is opening the quarters sufficiently to remove pressure until the new horn is grown, which can be done to any degree desired, as follows: First, cut down be-tween the bar and the frog of the inner quarter, as explained for contraction, until it will yield readily to pressure. Next cut away the edges of the wall to the end of the split ; then make a crease with the firing-iron at the edge of the hair. If the spilt ex-tends well up into the coronary band, this can be omitted, and , the iron touched lengthways with the split. If, however, the quarter is properlyopened, such inter-ference with the firing-iron will be unneces-sary, as the hornwould usually growdown sound withoutit. Now, fit a shoe asexplained for contrac-tion, putting a cliponly upon the innerside (as shown in ). The oppositeside is to be nailedwell back to coun
