ly in its place. The subjects of my experi
ments were six horses of my own, and threa
belonging to friends ; the nins among them,
representing very fairly the different classes
of pleasure horses.
When my attention was first directed to
the subject of nailing, I was employing seven,
nails in each fore and eight in each hind shoe.
I then withdrew one nail from each shoe, tiios
reducing the number to six in the fore, and
even in lbe hind shoes ; and finding at tha
end of a year that ihe shoes of all the horses
had been as firmly retained as formerly, I

' I have invariably directed and snperintend
ed the whole operation of shoeing during thesa
' experiments; an4 have always been very care
j ful to mark that the nails were not driven

I have detailed these experiments with a.
view to expose the groundless nature of the
! fear lhat expects to cast a shoe at every step.
unless it be held tu the foot by eight or nina
nails, driven high into the crust. If Ihe pre
sence of a nail in the crust were a matter of
no moment, and two or three mora than ara
necessary were merely luer.w, there would b
no great reason to interfere with this practica
of making "assurance douMy sure;'" bat it
is far otherwise the nails separate ihe fibre.,
of the horn, and they nevsr by any chance be
come united again, but continue assured and.
