 stances necessary to good shoeing, a recapitulation of 

 the few things which are to be done will be made in 

 tlie proper order : 



Raise the clenches with the bufier. 



Have only one foot bare at a time. 



Pare out the foot, but leave the frog alone. 



Cut ofl" the heels of the shoe, as directed. 



Open the nail-holes straight through the slice. 



Form a clip at the toe, and turn up the toe of the 

 shoe. 



Heat the shoe and apply it to the foot, to see that 

 it fits properly. 



Cool the shoe, ".back-hole" it, and file it up. 



Nail it on with five nails, coming out low in the 

 crust. 



Hammer down the clenches without rasping them, 

 and only rasp the hoof below them. 



THE END.
