Corns should be clean cut out, and a 

 wide wash extended from the shoe, in the 

 form of three thirds of a circle, and about 

 two inches broad, over the part where the 

 corn was, to guard it from sharp stones, 

 gravel, &c. I do not approve of a bar 

 shoe, it confines the dirt in the foot too 

 much. 



It is dangerous to attempt to dry up run-

 sharp washes alone, you attempt to dry 

 them up, the disorder frequently flies to the 

 eyes, when, for a time, you nearly blind 

 .the horse. I look on running thrushes as 

 a discharge of nature, much the same as 

 sweaty feet in man : dry them up, and I 

 imagine the disease will fly to some other 

 part of his body. I am certain it always 

 will in a horse. The only safe method of 

 How to treat treating them is, to wash them CON-
