ILLUSTRATIONS OF SHOEING IN CONNECTION WITH "INTER- 

 FERING," ETC. 



Some illustrations, designed to illustrate shoeing- in connection with 

 "interfering" and "forge," are given herewith. 



Fig. 13.— Hoof surface of a right hind shoe to prevent interfering. The inner branch has no nai] 

 holes and is fitted and beveled under the hoof. Note the number and position of the nail holes, 

 the clip on the outer side-wall, and the narrowness and bend of the inner branch. 



Fig. 14. — Ground surface of shoe shown in the previous figure. The inner nailless branch has the 

 thickness of the outer branch plus its calk, so that the inner and outer quarters of the hoof are 

 equidistant from the ground.
