Rational Horse-Shoeing.
BY: WILDAIR
WITH ILLUSTRATIONS
Originally Published By WYNKOOP
AND HALLENBECK
1873.
Since the publication of this
little volume we have made changes in our horse
shoe
with a view to adapt it especially to Army use. Our design has been
to make a shoe that any Army farrier can apply in a cold state
without the use of any
 other tool than a knife to prepare the hoof,
and a hammer to drive the nails. Our success in this attempt has
been so complete that we are now using the pattern designed
especially for Army use in all our contract work.
The shoe is rolled without a heel calk, so that the frog-pressure
may be readily secured without heating and drawing the iron:—the
nail holes are punched so that the nail furnished by us with the
shoe may be driven, without the use of the pritchel to punch out the
holes. The shoe, being made of the best quality of iron, may be bent
cold to adapt it to the shape of the hoof.
Officers will at once see what a vast saving there is in the
transportation of shoes—requiring no forge with its heavy outfit—and
which are less than half the weight of the clumsy old patterns. |

LAMENESS of the HORSE
BY

Professor of Surgery, The Kansas City

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY
MEDICINE
1916
Lameness is a symptom of an ailment or
affection and is not to be considered in itself as an anomalous
condition. It is the manifestation of a structural or functional
disorder of some part of the locomotory apparatus, characterized by
a limping or halting gait. Therefore, any affection causing a
sensation and sign of pain which is increased by the bearing of
weight upon the affected member, or by the moving of such a
distressed part,
results in an irregularity in locomotion, which is known as lameness
or claudication. A halting gait may also be produced by the abnormal
development of a member, or by the shortening of the leg occasioned
by the loss of a shoe.
For descriptive purposes lameness may be classified as true and
false. True lameness is such as is occasioned by structural or
functional defects of some part of the apparatus of locomotion, such
as would be caused by spavin, ring-bone, or tendinitis. False
lameness is an impediment in the gait not caused by structural or
functional disturbances, but is brought on by conditions such as may
result from the too rapid driving of an unbridle-wise colt over an
irregular road surface, or by urging a horse to trot at a pace
exceeding the normal gait of the animal's capacity, causing it to
"crow-hop" or to lose balance in the stride. The latter
manifestation might, to the inexperienced eye, simulate true
lameness of the hind legs, but in reality, is merely the result of
the animal having been forced to assume an abnormal pace and a lack
of balance in locomotion is the consequence.

| Diseases Of The Horses Foot Direct Download! |

By; H. CAULTON REEKS
Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons
Author of 'The Common
Colics of the Horse'
 Stimulated
by the reception accorded my 'Common Colics of the Horse,' both in
this country and in America, and assured by my publishers that a
work on diseases of the foot was needed, I have been led to give to
the veterinary profession the present volume.
While keeping the size of the book within reasonable limits, no
effort has been spared to render it as complete as possible. This
has only been achieved by adding to my own experience a great deal
of the work of others. To mention individually those who have given
me permission to use their writings would be too long a matter here.
In every case, however, where the quotation is of any length, the
source of my information is given, either in the text or in an
accompanying footnote. A few there are who will, perhaps, find
themselves quoted without my having first obtained their permission
to do so. They, with the others, will, I am sure, accept my hearty
thanks.
The publishers have been generous in the matter of illustrations and
diagrams, and although to the older practitioner some of these may
appear superfluous, it is hoped they will serve to render the work
an acceptable textbook for the student.

| THE MULE Direct Download! |
By; Harvey Riley,
Superintendent Of The Government
Corral, Washington D.C. 1867.
There is no more useful or
willing animal than the Mule. And perhaps
 there is no other animal so
much abused, or so little cared for. Popular opinion of his nature has
not been favorable; and he has had to plod and work through life against
the prejudices of the ignorant. Still, he has been the great friend of
man, in war and in peace serving him well and faithfully. If he could
tell man what he most needed it would be kind treatment. We all know how
much can be done to improve the condition and advance the comfort of
this animal; and he is a true friend of humanity who does what he can
for his benefit. My object in writing this book was to do what I could
toward working out a much needed reform in the breeding, care, and
treatment of these animals. Let me ask that what I have said in regard
to the value of kind treatment be carefully read and followed. I have
had thirty years' experience in the use of this animal, and during that
time have made his nature a study. The result of that study is, that
humanity as well as economy will be best served by kindness.

On Horsemanship
By Xenophon
Translation by H. G. Dakyns
Xenophon the Athenian was born 431 B.C. He was a pupil of Socrates. He
marched with the Spartans, and was exiled from Athens. Sparta gave him
land and property in Scillus, where he lived for many years before
having to move once more, to settle in Corinth. He died in 354 B.C.
On Horsemanship advises
the reader on how to buy a good horse, and how to raise it to be either
a war horse or show horse. Xenophon ends with some words on military
equipment for a cavalryman.
