MANUAL FOR ARMY HORSESHOERS. 101 



103. When one quarter is longer than the other, to brins: 

 the shoe back to its proper shape. Heat the shoe throughout, and, 

 holding it upright with the point of the heel of the longer quarter on 

 the face of the anvil, strike on the upper edge of the shoe directly 

 over the point resting on the anvil. 



104. Thinning the bar is often necessary in the case of a large 

 frog. To accomplish this, the bar is welded at about one-half the 

 required length and then drawn out on the face of the anvil, its 

 lower surface being leveled with the ground surface of the shoe. 



105. In the case of an exceptionally large frog, it is necessary 

 to curve the bar below the ground surface to allow sufficient room 

 and to prevent too much pressure. Toe and heel calks must be 

 used with this shoe to insui'e a level ground siu'face.
