Horses; Horses; Horses; CHR 1887; PRO Smith, James Somers, Jr. (donor). 702 SHOEING. notice in Central Pennsylvania. The feet were broad and flat, with the heels di-awn in to a point so that there was scarcely any bearing of them upon the shoe. The result of this was that the horn wore or broke away until the line of bearing was over an inch above that of the frog. To remedy the difiiculty, the calks were raised correspondingly high to keep the frog from the ground. (See Fig. â ',,«' 542.) This horse trav- eled with great" diffi- culty, even on a walk. If it is desired to re- store the condition of the circulation and quality of liorn, by far the best way of doing it would be to put on thin-heeled shoes, with iron just wide enough around the quarters and heels to protect the wall, and then turn the horse out for a few months. In the meantime, dress the feet two or three times a week with hoof liniment to stimulate the growth uf good horn, and prevent the weakening effects of too much moisture. If, how- ever, the feet are weak and the horse must be used, a better way would be to put on a thin bar shoe, the bar part extending well forward under the frog, to give more basis of support. (See Fig. 543.) Of course nothing more should he cut away from the heels than is sufficient to barely level them a little. Especial care should be taken to protect them from excessive wear and break- ing down by the shoe, which may be done by placing leather be- tween the bearing surfaces of the foot and the shoe. The better to support such a shoe and lessen the nailing, a light clip may be turned
