A NEW HORSE SHOE.
A patent has just been invented in England which promises to revolutionise the shooing of horses. The patent, which is being protected abroad as well as at home, is a nail-less shoe pressed out of the best steel. It is a hollow, and has embedded in it a solid pad of indiarubber, while above small tongues are projected out of the material to enable it to be firmly fixed with ease and rapidity. Being of such a material—and none but the best steel can be worked in the presses—groat durability is secured, with a far lighter shoe than can he made in the ordinary form. The rubber pad takes off all “ jar” on the hardest roads, and gives a firm footing on the smoothest ice, while the method of fixing requires no nail to be driven to the danger of the foot, and does not interfere with the natural growth of the hoof. With a vyce and a hammer any man of ordinary ingenuity can make the shoo fit any peculiarity in the foot.
