Question, How many horses in America ? 



Answer. A little over 14,000,000 and 2,162,808 mules. 



Question, AVhat shall I do to stop my horse from interfering ? 



Answer. Pare his feet perfectly level, then have a shoe made that 

 is about an inch and a half wide ; the web on the outside about three- 

 quarters of an inch on the inside ; put the wide web part on the out- 

 side of his foot, the narrow web on the inside. After you drive him, 



if he should interfere, pare the foot a little lower on the inside than 

 it is on the outside. This will stop the majority of horses from in- 

 terfering. 



Question. Will it work the same on the front feet that it does on 

 the hind feet ? 



Answer. Yes.
