PRAC‘I'ICI' OI‘ SBOIIIIO HORSES.

Mr. Charles Percival, veterinary lur- geon of tno Royal artillery, furnishes the toltowisg communication to one of the Dub- lin papers.

I have lately been devoting much atten- tion to shoeing, and flatter myself that the horses under my care are as well shcd as an in her ' sty's service.

a shoe I ound in use here was made concave next to the foot, and flat on ‘the ground surface, than which, ‘in my opinion, nothing could be worse. This shoe I have hard reversed, making the latter as concave asthe foot will ly admit of, leavin only sirllicieut room between the shoe and the foot forthe pricker to pass freely round, to remove dirt, &.c. .To the heels of the shoe I have iven an inclined plane out- wnrds on the oot surface, with three nails on the inside and four on the outside. ’lhe heels, instead of being cut of straight, are well sloped, and about the same thickness as the too. The shoe onethird as thick at the heel as the toe, recommended by the iate professor, the majority of horses could could not travel in. There are many per- nicious practices which smiths in general, if left to themselves, fall into, viz :

l. Mutilating the frogs by improper cut- ting. I have at length got my farriers to understand that the only part of the frog which ever requires cutting, unless ragged, is the point, to prevent the sensible ii-og be- ing bruised between it and the coilin bone.

2. lntlicting serious injury to the crust by an improper use ofthe rasp, but especi- ally the coarse side of it. _

3. In fitting the shoes, by cutting too much out 'of the crust at the too to admit the clip. The shoe is consequently set too

far back, instead of fitted full to the crust, and afterwards rasping away the cI'lIS_l. nraking the foot, in fact, to fit the shoe, in- stead of the shoe to fit the foot. This Is. it faulty practice, and very serioirsly so, which smiths in general are very apt to tall into ; one, too, which renders the crust shelly, for that part into which the nails are driven from time to time is in this way rendered wea .

-I. In turning shoes, smiths _in geneal_do not attend striliciently to beveling or sloping the edge of the shoe from the oot to the ground surface, which I consider of great importance, especially if horses 3;-e given to cut or interfere in their action.

6. Cuttin the heels of the shoe . oil straight. 'lhis is also a very bad practice. If well sloped like a shoe for hunting. l0 which there cannot be any objection, they are less liable to be pulled off by the hind shoe catching in them, and cotitrtbute more to safety of both horse and rider. _

6. Leaving the inner edges of the hind shoes at the toes sharp, which, if well roun- ded, will its‘ a great measure prevent OW!" reaches, aswell as render the‘ fore shoes less liable to be pulled oil‘ by their catching in the heels of the former.‘ Squaring the toe of the hind shoe for horses that ’i’urger_, or “ carry the hammer d pincerfi. 88 N is tertned, leaving the ho a projecting over the shoe, is, in my opinion, good as ii gette- ral rule, not only preventing that unpleasant noise, but rendering horses _less liable It. overreach and pull off their fore slioes, provided, however, attention he paid to rounding the inner edge . _

7. In reaping the under part of the clin- ches, ihrriers are very a t to apply the edge of the rasp improper y to the crubl. forming a deep groove around the SW10. which cannot but be injurious to the foot,‘ and together with taking away too nruch oi the crust in finishing oil‘ the foot, must have a tendency to render it shelly. Cur- ving the shoe at the toe, after the French fashion, where horses go near the ground, I am very fond of, but! cannot_ see any advantage in it as a general practice.

The following are the " conclusions” of a very elaborate article occupying twenty- three columns of a supplement to the Lou-

Jlorwiag Iiroiiiclc. _ _

We may now terminate our inquiry by a statement of the general results which the facts and arguments we have collected and employed appear to justify. And. “I” 0b‘ serving the method which we have been anxious to follow throughout, will first state thewcoriclusions which rest on foun- dations of fact. ‘ _

We have seen, then, that the quantity of new gold produced in California and Aus- tralia to the and of 1852 is equal to not less than ten per cent. of the total quantity of go ' ' ' Eu _ and America in_the gs;-ly part 0 1848, or imediately previous to the first appearance of the Californian suppliss. We have seeti, also that the

lotion of gold from all sources ._whieh in I808 was equal to two per cent., on the total quantity of gold the. existing in Europe and Amaricai—-h risen in I855: to be sevui per cent. on that uantity.

so hr, the whole, or nenry the VIIOIO. of the new supplies of gold ha_va been absor- bed as coinage in America, in this country and Aadralte, endwh France. And not only has there‘ been -e large gold amount of

alsiom la; a increase in trees- aotion. It is a question, however, 1- am» .Obflhrtl|enbserptica dthe now u ssh can pveeeed ton.

sutnnicr and aututntr of last yciir, ll llttlllitll iticrcaso in the price of several dt-sci-iptii as of ('IlIIlII0lllll('S; and it does not appear that that increase of price can in all cases be adequately explained, as coiict-ins the coiuniodities II)9lIlr(‘l\(‘tl, by coiisidt-iuiioirs ofsupply and dciirund ; nor, on the other hard does it appear that \\e are jnstiiiiril by the uidence in .itti'ibrilirii_- totlic inilti- ence of the new stipplit,-s ofgold tiny i-.\tt-ri- site or dr-cidrd inllui-ncc in raising prices in this coutrtiy. The facts, however, do justify its in believing that the new I-’l.lpplll’l§ baieccrtuinly bcguii-—iiidirc-ctly, and per- haps llirectly also—to operate in this country in a manner which does and will lead to l igher prices.

As rcpards wages, however, the indirect and diiut operation of the new gold in elltll'tllel.ti:g higher rates is iiirriiili-st rind unquestic nnble ; and since the autiiinii of I852, tl.< rise in the wages of artismi and manual .i.bour in this i-ounlry is equal to between I2 and ‘.20 per cent.

It soon at to he estalilislit-tl by the evi- dence that whatcvr-r i-ill-t-ts may have been produced in the Utiitcd Kitigd. in in raising wages unit prices, and iii e.\turding and iii- crcui-ing ‘autlc, lixive been aicci It-plli-iit'tl by means ot ..ductions in the rate ofdiscount and inlet! -t, and by utlvtinccs of capital- not in an; way through the lll((lllllll oftlic circulatiu . It appears, also, that tl.c effect oft o new gold in dcprcssiiig tlic ratv ol discoiii . was i-ssciiiinlly ot a l(‘lttpt‘l‘ilt‘_\' clrniuctc-, and was confined to the period during \.I~iclr the new gold tins loilgco chiefly in the Rank of Eiiglund, in its pro- grc.-.- Il't:ltI the mines to the general markets Oi‘ the writ ltl.

Sincc those temporary cflects have dis- appcnri-d, the increased dcrnunds for cup- ital, exci;ed by the low rates of discount. and at-ismg out ofnir i.\tciidtd lruili-, lruvc raiscd tl.ose rates to frilly their pr'cvii.in.-‘ height

It l.~ tlzr fact, also, that the apparently pcri: z.i a in increase of five Iltllll(JIlS in the outst:.i tlll g cii-t-uliitian ofthe Bank ofEng- land 1 as r- t.t'It't’fd it not premature to con- sidei—iftbi- Act ofl814 is to be llllllllllllll(‘(I —wl.i ther the nrnount of H milliou.~‘ as tho linrit if the issue of notes on securities shot lil not be cnxnsidcralily enlarged.

In the Australian colonic», tho cffcct of the I r iv gold has been to add the stimulus nfa \t ry low rate of interest, and of an abuiu‘:.uce of capital, to the other great and ll nnifold causes of rapid development wlricl. they previously possessed.

And. generally, we are justified in de- scribirg the effects of the new gold as almost wholly beneficial. It has led to the devcluj incnt ofnew br-anclii-s oft.-ntisrprisc, to mu discovcricsi, and to the e.-.tnlrli-'li- ment, in r-i-mote regions, of population.- carryiig with them cnrrgy, intelligence, and the rudiments of it great society. In our own country, it has already elevated the condition of the working and poorer classes; it has quickened and extended trade, and exerted nn influence which, thus tar, is beneficial wherever it has been felt.

'I hose are the cont-ltisiori justifird by eti- rfiiiir and facts. There still remain the (t In lizsions which sccm to be justified by sj r runtion; and these may be compressed wit II! a similar compass.

titre does not appear to be any good reason for believing that the future results ‘film I ow supplies of gold will be, on the v.h'I«-. was devoid of evil than they have beci. hi...crto. \Ve are not justified in ox- pcctii g that_ under contracts now existing, creditu rs will be sacrificed to debtor-s—that the recipients of fixe ncomcs will be ‘r‘.‘_, ',. ‘L :9‘:-tacapitl will cease to command it reasonable rate of interest—or that land and other objects of investment will rise to inordinate prices.

On the contrary, the great revolution is in progru .--s so gradually— it is checked nod modi~.rin- i’ in modcs so subtle and iirfinite, by IIIIIIH z izes too delicate to be exhibitci. by

i .t

prici-sci .ent or stntistics—thiit,so far as tin can jud; « ofthe futiir-e by what is now oc- curring 2 ound us, we have no reason to view wit. alarm a change in the cconotni-

cal coniliilon of the world, which, though new and srtirtling, appears likcly to adjust itself, without shocks or convulsions, to the expanding intelligence and resources of triankind.
