Experiments and their Verification 137 



Fig. 103 will show the directions of shoeing illustrated by Fig. 95, 

 where bars on front shoes were tilted to the left. The error of di- 

 rection is immediately corrected by such a change, and the right fore 

 now toes out 2.6. Even the previous shoeing as given in Fig. 99 

 shows by the directions of Fig. 104 a better line of action in fore feet 

 and here the bars are supposed to be square across the shoe. In sub- 



enteris/on reduced one 



sequent trials with simply a bar across the toe and none at heel the 

 proper correction of the faulty directions of fore was always accom- 

 plished by a slight tilt of bar to the left, thus making the left fore 

 break over at outside toe and the right fore at inside toe ; that is, the 

 bar with lower end on outside made the left fore toe in or gave it that 

 tendency, and with lower end on inside, made the right fore toe out or 

 gave it that tendency.

Again, it must be remembered that all such directions are aided by 

 the principle of pointing, so ably and fully explained by David Roberge, 

 and that the proper paring of foot with such corrections in view is part 

 of proper balancing. 



These various shoeings and results are somewhat suddenly thrust 

 upon the reader without an apparently proper foundation for the 

 principles involved. Later experiments, however, will verify the asser- 

 tions here expressed. These data at present are but a part of a series
