SPECIFIC AND REMEDIAL SHOEING.

used, on which the toe- 

 piece at "A," may be 

 welded, which should ex- 

 tend from the outside rim 

 of the shoe, say from one- 

 half inch to an inch. 

 Stave up the outside heel 

 of the shoe sufficiently to 

 get good broad covering 

 for the narrowed-in heel 

 and quarter. Use the 

 round fullering tool to 

 swedffe the shoe wide 

 enough to obtain good bar 

 pressure. Turn up heels 

 and weld a calk on the 

 outside heel, and fit the 

 shoe snugly to the wall 

 up to both sides of the 

 frog. 



The effect of the pro- 

 jecting toe-piece is to brace 

 or stay the weak part of 

 the ankle and foot, and in 

 two or three shoeino;s the 

 foot will become natural 

 in its movements, and 

 fairly returned to its nor- 

 mal state.

 another style of shoe for 

 draft horses, as explained
