portion to the toe, he would have
prevented such a bad case of con
traction. The heels should be kept
low in all cases where the feet are
inclined to become contracted.

of the heels has almost removed the

Fig. 8. This shows us a foot
where a good mechanic has been at
work, but sometimes a good work
man will make a mistake, and in this
instance he has pared the heels too
low. . While the heels should be
pared down in proportion to the toe,
still they should not be weakened.

These few Ilustrations give some
idea of the possibilities of injury to
a horse by malpractice. The right
to earn a livelihood in any trade
does riot carry with it the right to
destroy. Shoeing is a profession, ac
quired only by the hardest manual
exertion as well . as by the largest
experience" and closest study. The
ignorant, lazy, and unskilled man,
when not so known, is now in States
without license on a parity with the
most skilled, studious, and experi
enced, and is a menace not alone to
owners but to the Intelligent, studi
ous, and hard-working shoers. He
destroys the property of the one and
injures the business of - the other.
He is a curb upon the ambition of
the profession to find its due reward
for th highest class of service, and
society would be bettered by his ex
clusion until he has become suffi
ciently skilled, i

Fruit Trees Require Food
You cannot expect a full yield of
rich milk from a half-starved cow.
Neither can you get a bountiful
yield of fine, full-flavored, sound fruit
from trees not properly nourished with
POTASH
The soil should be enriched with a commercial
fertilizer.containing a good percentage of Potash.
The proper proportion is from 9 to 12 per cent.,
according to requirements.
The experience of successful fruit-growers
proves that Potash, supplied m
proper proportions, causes the trees
XiiImI t0 grow more sturdy and vigorous
iLlL better able to resist disease. And
the fruit grows larger, sounder, finer-flavored, and ripens earlier.

and of great value to the fruit-grower. . .
