Unless the frog is allowed to touch the ground all tho many springs in his foot about 1.000 in number are made perfectly useless. They depend for their action on this pressure 3. The ontside of the frog, which ought to touch the ground, is without feeling ; but if it is cut away'the inside frog, which is full of feeling like the quick of your nails, is left buro. and stones getting inside the shoo hurt the horse and often lame hiitf; The farrier must also never he allowed to pare tho sole of tho hoof, nor to open the heels two very hurtful practices. "Thrash" is chiofty caused by not 1 coping the heels thoroughly clean, and well washed and brushed out ; and by letting, the horse stand on dirty

' At first he.was shy. of appearing before his superiors, then he got jealous and at. last ng&forhe felt', and. knew that they meant her no good; and, beside, ! it was doing real ihjnry.'ta the business of the shop.
