SCIEiXTIFIC HORSESHOEING. 



Fig. 133. When us- 

 ing slioe, if the horse toes 

 out, place a wide web on 

 the inside ; if he toes in, 

 place the wide web on the 

 outside. If he brushes 

 his ankles, shins or knees, 

 when the foot is directly 

 under the axis of the leg, 

 close up the nail holes in 

 the toe on the inside, and 

 place them in back of 

 quarters, as shown in dia- 

 gram. The inside is to be 

 beveled on ground surface 

 as shown at A, A. If the 

 shoe is properly placed 

 it can not fail to be of 

 great service to the horse, 

 and do all that is claimed 

 for it.

 is known as the rolling- 

 motion shoe, and is used

 the horse in front, show-

 at the heel and the roll at 

 the toe, with the nails 

 driven in the quarters.

 draft horses. If the horse pulls from the outside toe, the out- 

 side quarter and heel will wire in. To overcome this tendency, 

 I designed this style of shoe. Any ordinary shoe may be
