and where shoe is beveled 



to avoid the quarter crack. 

 The rule of making the 



shoe is to bevel it from wall 



bearing wherever it comes 



opposite a quarter crack on 



the foot. This will prevent 



dirt from weds:! nor in l)e- 



tween the shoe and the wall 



of the foot, and at each foot- 

 fall the dirt will jar out. 



A clip is required for draft horses. 



In paritig the foot, bear in mind always to pare the outer 



edges of the quarter crack as deep as the sensitive laminae. 



After paring the loot and fitting the shoe, rivet a piece of sole 



leather to the shoe, covering 

 bottom of the foot, at three 

 rivet holes, as in illustration 

 (Fig. 113). Before nailing 

 the shoe to the foot, take 

 fat pickled pork, fill the bot- 

 tom of foot with long slices 

 thereof, pressing them well 

 into the commissures with 

 the hand. After nailing the 

 shoe to the foot, take Tiecipe
