/ MESTIC ECoNoMY 1T is we'll known that
Children and youth usually wear out their boots
and shoes ut the toe, in few weeks-sometimes
in few days. Buy them with MITcRELL'S PATENT
METALLIC TIPS, and you will save hco-hirds Of
the expense of supplying your children with shoes
This invention enables US to offer to the public
boots and shoes that NEVER WEAR oUT At THE
TOES We have hundreds Of testimonials from
parents who have bought them, showing, that on
the average one pair Of shoes with tips, will for
children, wear MS long as three pair without, and
for Misses, Boys and Youths, they will wear at
least twice as long, while the cost is but trifie
more.
This statement is made with entire confidence IN
its strict truth, rs it is based careful examna-
tion of the Facts, in experience Of more than
two years, which has proved that these Copper
tOed Shoes, have on an average, worn at least
three times as long the old STYLE and the cost
is but trile more, the Importance of the inven-
ton to all having little feet 70 protect will at once
be seen.
This invention is also important as protection
against the cutting Of the Prairie Grasses, also for
Miners and Plantation use, and all occupations
where the toes ofthe Boots Shoes are particu-
larry liable to be cut or worn.

of DIR. K. HI. STABLER. Chemist, of this city.
This fertilizer we confidently recommend, rs
the most permanent and cheapest yet offered to
the public. Being composed of No. l PERUVIAN

tation, We WARRANT 1T IN EVERY RESPECT
The Sombrero Guano, before being mixed, is rem
dered immediately soluble by the addition OF Sui
phuric acid This treatment is universally recon-
mended by the most eminent Agricultural Chem
lists. Without it. the action of the two Guanos
when mixed is not simultaneous, and consequent
ly comparatively inefficient.
This is the ONLY mixture of the Ammoniated

In regard 10 the manner in which the

European Grain Crops.

The advices from Europe lead TO The
belief that there will be large demand
for brcadstufs during the coming year.
The season has been so wet and cold IN
England tina, large deficiency is already
estimated as certain, while the supply IN
the markets of the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain is much less than that OF
last year at this date. Private letters con-
firm the statements of the public press
and predict large demand for American
produce. Nor is this impending scarcity
confined TO the British Islands. The con-
linent is rot likely to have any surplus.
All accounts agree that the crops through
out Central Europe have suffered much
from the severity of the weather. The
London Times gives deplorable picture
of the havoc which the bad weather has
produced on the growing crops in the
son,h. The European harvest Is ap-
preaching. short time will either con-
firm or correct the present impressions.
