LOOK WELL TO YOUR 
HORSE’S FEET. 
This drawing shows how many horses are made lnme 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 
dangerous by the Gold-Rolling 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-forging 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 horseB your Hot-Forged Horse Shoe 
Nails. I consider all sheared nails unsafe for shoeing. 
Respectfully yours, BUDD DOBLE." 
The only Hot-Drawn and Hammer- 
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

Will be sold without reserve to the highest bidder, on 
Thursday, November 7th, commencing at 11% 
o’clock, A. M., at the farm of the subscriber, in the city 
of New London, Conn., 50 head of thoroughbred and grade 
Jersey Heifers and Cows, and 5 thoroughbred Jersey Bulls. 
The thoroughbreds have descended from the early importa¬ 
tion of John A. Taintor, Esq., of Hartford, Conn., and can 
not be equaled by any late importations from the Island of 
Jersey, if selected by experts, without limit in price,for the 
reason that they do not breed such,on that Island, at present, 
nearly all the grades are crossed with Ayrshire blood, and 
have been proved as good cows as were ever bred. 25 of the 
heifers, less than two years of age, have run in the pasture 
since Aug. 25th witli the best thoroughbred Jersey bulls, 
and are supposed to he in calf. 25 of the heifers and cows 
are 2 to 9 years old, now in milk, several fresh, desirable 
family cows. The bulls are 2 months to 4 years old, all are 
beautiful in form and color, little white on any, none of 
them are recorded in the “American Jersey Cattle Club 
Register.” Every one of them will make a good butter 
record in the hands of a new purchaser.
