Between the bars and the wall are enclosed theextiemities of the sole, which are often injured by a badly-fitted shoe,especially upon the inner side,and the resulting bruise is calleda corn . The bars assist inpreserving the ^yidth of the footat the heels, and when cut awayby the farrier, permit contrac-tion of the hoof. Bars, sole, frog, and wallform one continuous hornycovering to the foot. By longmaceration in water they canbe separated, l)ut in a healthyliving foot they are all firmlyunited so as to form a soundhoof. Each division should bekept in its most perfect condi-tion, because any long-continued defect of one is certain to affect the other injuriously. If tlie wall atthe heels be left too high, the frog soon shrinks and wastes. If thesole be cut away and weakened, the wallhas to support unaided an excess of weight
