TO PREVENT SLIPPING.
A PATENT HORSESHOE THAT IS INDISPENSABLE IN COLD WEATHER.
No person ever owned a horse without experiencing a good deal of trouble, danger, and expense from the use of the oldfashioned horseshoe during icy weather. To keep a horse going in winter was almost an impossibility, as the only means of securing a sure footing for the animal was by drawing the calks of the shoe to a sharp point at the forge. This required the services of a horseshoer, and proved a continual source of expense—to say nothing of the loss of time and money during the animal’s enforced idleness. Some horses had to be sharpened and re-shod every day during bad weather, and even horses used for light driving were unable to go more than three or four days without being sent to the shoer.
