The sand as received from the crusher was grad ed into three degrees of fineness.

My horses go quite as well as with shoes, and are much safer when tlio sets are greasy and slippery. They are not as safe on ice as a sharpened horse, hut much safer than an un shurperied horse. If a horse is used unshod before the middle of the hoof is filled up, the wall breaks away in largo pieces up to the nail holes, and ho goes lame and must have rest mi til what the farrier has cut away lias been replaced by nature.
