TUB BIST HORSE SHOE 
MIL EM ill. 
About ten years ago the GLOBE NAIL COMPANY 
of Boston, put on the market the lirst pointed, polished 
and finished Horse Shoe Nails ready for driving. Previous 
to that time all Horse Shoe Nails were pointed, and most of 
them made, by the slioers in their own shops at the rate of 
but six pounds per day. 
The Globe Noil was at once found to he much cheaper 
and better than any then in use. It soon became so popular 
that all manufacturers oi Horse Shoe Nails were compelled 
to make their Nails to resemble the Globe. For the last ten 
years it has been the model. Each year the Nail has been 
greatly improved in quality, and to such a point have we 
educated the slioers that now they will hardly use a nail un¬ 
less it is absolutely perfect.

awarded the Medal and the following report, far stronger

Horse Shoe Nails, Pointed, Polished and Finished. The 
uniformity in size, smoothness of finish, hardness and tenaci¬ 
ty of the iron, closeness of fibre, and excellence of the head 
and point, the tensile strength of body, and riveting proper¬ 
ties of these Nails, unite in making them of the very highest 
class of manufacture.

Gentlemen: Find enclosed advertisement and postal card 
concerning your Nail. [Referring to a scurrilous advertise¬ 
ment and postal card, disparaging the Globe Nail, circulated 
by a rival manufacturer over the humbug signature of 
“Humane Society lor the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani¬ 
mals.” No Society hearing that title ever existed.] As I 
take a great interest in Hie prevention of cruelty to animals, 
—horses in particular,—I desire to say a few words in favor 
of Tilt: Globe Nail. Though I am not a very extensive 
Horse Shoer, yet I have used enough Nails of the different 
makes to speak knowingly. I have used the Globe Nail in 
my shop and on the race track for six years, on all classes of 
horses, from the heavy draft horse to the tender footed run¬ 
ning horse : and 1 can safely say it lias no superior in 
point of Toughness, Shape, and Finish, if it has 
any equal. I have used about fifteen hundred pounds of 
Globe Nails a year for the last six years, and in that time I 
have found four imperfect Nails, two of which I returned to 
you about two years ago and received in return four perfect 
ones, for which accept my thanks. If my men had no better 
sense than to drive those imperfect Nails in a horse’s foot, I 
would not consider it the fault of the Nail if the horse was 
lamed. If bosses would look more to the competency of 
their men and less to trying to get shoeing nqils a few cents 
a pound cheaper, we would have fewer lame horses. I 
know for safety and durability, with a man 
who understands his business to drive them, 
your Nails can’t be beat ! 1 am willing to pay, with¬ 
out any suit, for all horses that are lamed in my shop by 
using the Globe Nail. As long as it is made as at present. I 
shall continue to use it, even it' I could get other Nails lor 
nothing. I consider it the safest Nail that was ever driven 
in a horse’s foot. 
Yours Very Respectfully,

W IIHLIAM CROZIER has much pleasure in calling 
the attention of Cow-keepers, Farmers, and Dairvmen 
to the NEW SELF-MILKING APPARATUS. 'Phis Appara¬ 
tus or Cow Milker, lias been tested by a large number of 
practical Agriculturists, Dairymen, &c; and, without excep¬ 
tion, merited high encomiums and commendations, for its 
adaptability and wonderful rapidity in the Milking of Cows. 
It is considered one of the most invaluable and useful Ma¬ 
chines yet invented. 
Amongst its many advantages are—

used by any person, however ignorant of Milking. 
2nd—It will Milk any Cow in FOUP Minutes effectually, 
and its use is more agreeable to the Cow than Hand-Milking. 
3rd—It is a great boon in the case of Sore or Corded Teats. 
4th—Its Usefulness, Simplicity, Saving of Time, Cleanli¬ 
ness, Durability, and Cheapness, prove it lo be a most im¬ 
portant and necessary adjunct to a Dairy, and it has only to 
become better known to be universally used.
