FERREN S STEEL HORSESHOE. 



FERJ^EN'S PATENTED 

 STEEL HORSESHOE. 



The hoof prepared for the shoe. 



One of the most valuable patents for Horse- 

 shoes was oranted to H. B. Ferren, of Batavia, 

 N. Y., for a Steel Horseshoe, which promises to 

 come into general use, and will, to a very large 

 extent, supersede an Iron Shoe, whether made 

 by a machine or by hand, becmise its form is the 

 best, the material is dtirable, and the manner of 

 making is such as to secure economy, and its 

 adoption will prevent many of the prevalent 

 cruel malpractices upon a horse's foot.
