A N IMPROVEMENT has been applied to Boots
IN and Shoes, by which saving Of expense to
the consumer, of two thirds is realized, by actual
experiment.
THE TIP
consists of piece Of copper or other indestructi-
BILE material, neatly fastened to the toe of the
boot or SHOE forming complete protection. This
invention is now presented to the public, with the
fullest knowledge of its practical utility, having
been tested over two years, and is destined en-
tirely to supercede the old style, for Children's,
Boys and Youths Boots and Shoes.
The Importance of this invention will be readily
appreciated, as it is well known that children in
variably wear out their boots and shoes
FIRST AT THE TOE,
and, with this protection, they will upon an aver
age at least two to three times as long the
old style, while the expense is but a trife more.
This Invention is also specially applicable to
Miners Boots, and all occupations subjecting the
toe of the boot or shoe to be cut or worn.
Merchants and the public generally, will see the
importance of obtaining these goods Immediate
y, they destined, for general use, to super
cede all other kinds.
The Goods may be obtained of nearly all the
wholesale dealers in the principal Cities or of the
Subscribers. -

The military stores found here were given

not the British party been as signally de-

soldiers. James Wilson and Frank How

served with distinction In the southern cam.

The village Of Newark still stands, aud

FEtD FOR IIoRsp. TIE London Onn ibus
Company, SAYS an exchange, have rece n,ly
made report on feeding horses, which dis
closes some interesting facts. 1t seems that
the company uses no lees than COCO hO.oscs ;
5000 Of this number have for their feed
bruised oats and cut hay aud straw, an, tho
other 5000 get whole oats and hay. The
allowance accorded to the fret was-bruis-
ed oats, l6 lbs. cut hay, ! IL lbs. cut
straw, . lis lbs. The allowance acco rded
20 the sccond-unbruisid oats, ~ lbs; un-
cut hay, l3 lbs. The truised oats, cut hay
and cut straw amounted to 70 lbs. aud the
unbruised oats, &c, to 32 lbs. TIE horse
which had bruised oais, with cut hay and
straw, consumed % lbs. per day, and II ap-
pears that IL could do the came work as
we'll, and was kep, in as good condition, as
the horse which received 80 lbs. per day.
Here was a saving Of pounds a day on the
feeding OF each horse receiving bruised oats,
cut hay, and cut straw. The advantage Of
bruised oats and cut hay over unbruised
oats aud uncut bay is estimated a, Eve cents
per day on each horse, amounting TO $500
per day for the complny's COCO horses. 1t
is by no means an uniInportan, result with
which this experimen, has supplied us. To
the farmer who expenCs large sum in the
support Of horse power, there are two points
this experiment clearly establishes, which
in practice must be profitable; first, the sa.
wing Of fooG To the am 1unt Of 6 lbs. day;
and, secondly. no loss 'f horse power aris-
ing from that saving.

An ingenious invent on has bean adopted
BY the French Minister Of War. for the bet
ter feeding Of cavalry horses when on tho
march. IL consists in COMPRISING the food
for the journey into small tablets, like those
already in use composed Of vegetable food
for the army. The hay and straw are chop
ped dne, the oats aud c,rn crushed, and then
mixed IN proportion to the nurture qualities
afforded by each. Upon the mixture is
poured muelaginou, residue o. linsc' d +.
and the whole is press''d and comes out IL n
