Have a Competent Man to Shoe Your
Some Right -Ways and Some Wrong Ways of Doing This Im
portant Job A Bungler May Ruin a Good Horse.
Why should not-, the horse shoer
be licensed to practice the same as
a doctor? The doctor is compelled
to master the intricacies of. his pro
fession before he is. permitted; to
enter upon, the practice of that which
means life or death to human be
ings. The horse shoer must work
for years as an apprentice before he
is technically capable of knowing
how to shoe a horse. And he must
then continue his study and practice
the same as the doctor in order that
he may be thoroughly up-to-date In
the latest methods and keep his
hand in. I believe we have now
reached that stage where a horse
shoer should be examined by; a State
Board and qualified with a license
to practice. Such a law has been
passed in several States, and I . un
derstand there are other States about
to follow. :
Here are a few specimen cases of
shoeing practice that are common in
most shops: ,
bar shoe with a leather pad is some
times necessary.

Fig. 1. We have here the shoer's
most frequent arid xommon trouble,
corns. We sometimes find them on
colts that have never been shod.
When a horse is brought to the shoer
with a corn, it is generally lame or
sore from it. All the hard, horny
hoof should be 5 well ; pared . out
around the corn. That will leave
the corn free and almost any kind
of a shoe with a leather pad, tar
and oakum in a bad case will re

but one cure for, this-to remove the
