98 MANUAL FOR ARMY HORSESHOERS. 



Strike on the end of the heel projecting over the horn. Then re- 

 verse the shoe and proceed in the same manner with the other heel. 



(6) When quarters are of the cprrect length.— Heat the bar 



to a white heat and draw it out by working on the face of the anvil. 

 This will lengthen the bar and at the same time reduce its thick- 

 ness. After drawing out in this manner, the bar must be leveled 



with the upper surface unless the frog is so large that it will produce 

 the desired pressure. The bar may also be draAvn on the pomt 

 of the horn, working on one half and then reversmg; this method 

 thickens the bar and should be used if the frog is very small.
