The British Roads Improvement Association is offering a prize to the farrier who invents a horse_r_ioe wliich will enable a horse 1 to keep its footing securely on a waterproof roadway without damage to the roadway itself. "The tendency was for some time for roads to become smoother and smoother in the endeavor to make them t waterproof," said Mr Wallace E. Riche*, secretary of this association. "We wish' to transfer the roughness of tho old road to the shoes of the -horse. In some parts of the country horse-owners have solved the difficulty of foothold by having the shoes fitted with iron projections which break up . the rpads and let in water, making . tarred roads useless."
