Rub in 5ome hoof ointment once a dav at the 152 MODERN BI^ACKSMITHING coronet and quarters, and turn the horse out in a wetpasture. But if the horse must be used on the road,proceed to shoe as follows: First, ascertain if the frogis hard or soft. If soft, put on a bar shoe with openbar. I have invented a shoe for this purpose. SeeFig. 2, No. I. The idea of shoeing with an endlessbar shoe is wrong. In most cases contraction isbrought on by letting the shoes stay on too long,whereby the hoof has been compelled to grow down KAL
