Directions in Case of Special Enquiries 

 for Shoeing- (this and opposite page). 



Take a Set compass (blunt one point of compass, to 

 use at top of foot, at 1, 3, 5 and 7), and measure each 

 of the four (4) feet from 1 to 2. Then measure in same 

 manner from 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8 and 7 to 9, both inside 

 ^nd outside, separately, of each of the four (4) feet. 

 Send me these measurements in inches, and fractions 

 of an inch, to a sixteenth of an inch. The surest 

 and most accurate way to take the last four meas- 

 urements (3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8 and 7 to 9) is to com- 

 mence with the nigh (left) fore foot, first measure it 

 on the OMto'cZe— carefully— at the four points desig- 

 nated. Then take the nigh hind foot, the same 

 way, then the off hind foot, then the off fore foot. 

 Then, commencing again at the nigh fore foot, go 

 from foot to foot as directed and measure the inside 

 of each of the four feet. Be careful to put down 

 plainly on a piece of paper, each measurement separ- 

 ately and distinctly as fast as taken. Don't take a 

 second measurement until first has been put down. 

 Place the blunt point of the compass at exactly the 

 point where wall of foot and flesh join, (at 1,3,5 and 7) 

 and the sharp point at wall at surface.
