    These are the things the smith does when shoeing horses:- he takes the old shoe off and cleans the horse's foot with a knife, then he fits the horses shoe on the hoof. He there makes the shoe and nails it on the hoof.
    Then he clinches the nails, there files the hoof and blackens it with black oil.
    There are no stories connected with pigs, goats or sheep.
    The eggs are set three weeks under a hen, four weeks under the ducks, geese and turkeys. There are no marks on the eggs.
