“CANDEE” 
PURE GUM 
RUBBER BOOTS. 
Being free from adulterative mix¬ 
tures, will give longer service than 
common Rubber Boots. Their great 
popularity lias led to many cheap 
imitations having a Dull Finish, hut 
this season the Candee Co. will 
varnisli their Pure Gum Boots, 
distinguishing them from their 
common Boots by the label in raised 
JSubber letters on the leg, “Pure 
Gum.” 
The varnisli protects the Rubber 
from the ammonia in manures. 
These Boots have the “Candee’’ 
Patent Heel Irons, which pre¬ 
vent the heels wearing down so 
quickly. 
They also have the “Candee” 
patent Outside Straps, which 
are more convenient and durable 
than the flimsy in¬ 
side well straps. 
Other brands of 
Rubber Boots cost 
the dealers a trifle 
less than Candee— 
but if you insist on 
having the “ Candee 
worth. 
Boot, you will get your.full money’s

HORSE’S FEET. 
This drawing shows how many horses are made lame and 
permanently injured by the use of the cold-cut and sheared 
pointed nails. This process of manufacture produces 
lamination, causing the iron to form In layers, and when 
driven Into the foot the horny fibres of which the hoof is 
composed cause the nail to separate at the point, and one 
portion passes into the foot. 
It requires but little observation and reflection, one 
would think, to arrive at the conclusion as to the kind of 
nails to be used, whether a mangled piece of iron, rendered 
dangebous by the Cold-Bolling and Shearing process, and 
liable to sliver in driving, thus, 
or one made from the rod at a welding heat, where all the 
fibres remain intact, and a perfect oneness maintained, and 
which being pointed by the hammer renders such an acci¬ 
dent as slivering utterly impossible. 
“ The Hot-foraing process Is the only sure man¬ 
ner of making a true driving and safe nail. 
REV. W. H. H. MURRAY, 
Golden Rule, October 31,1877.” 
“ After long usage, can safely recommend to all owners of 
track and light-harness horses your Hot-Forged Horse Shoe 
Hails. I consider all sheared nails unsafe for shoeing. 
Respectfully yours, BUDD DOBLE.” 
Tlie only Hot-Drawn and Hammor- 
Pointed Horse-Slioe Nail In the World 
that is not cut, clipped, or sheared upon the point, and will 
not split in driving, is made by the
