Greasing Boots and Shoes too Much.

1t is mistaken notion that coating the
leather thoroughly with grease or wafer
proof backing keeps the feet dry and warm.
The feet of every person in health perspire
more or lcsS-thc cXhalationS from the feet
alone usually amount to several spoonstus
of water daily If this be confined by hav-
ing the leather saturated with oil or var
nish backing, or by wearing tight India
rubber oyershocs, the feet are kept damp
and chilly. and the moisture tends to rot
the leather The better way is to not
grease boots or shoes at all. except to oc-
casionalIv put on 4 slight surface coat of
oil when tie feet are likely to be exposed
to much water, to shed il of. We have
not for several years CREASED our boots At
all, except one coat on the botton2 when
new, and pair usually gives Us over a
full years wear We keep a light pair OF
rubber sandals, which are only worn when
walking or standing on wet ground, and
are removed on going into the house or of
flee 1t is a decided luxury, as well as pro-
motive of health, to keep two pairs of socks
in use, and change them the latter part of
the day, when those on the feet are damp
ened by perspiraton A minutes time
spent in changing will add much to ones
comfort tor the rest of the day and evening
Remember that ii is the dampneSs from the
feet themselves that usually keep the feet
cold 1t is the coniining Of this in the
leather that leads to the suppostion that
rubber shoes are injurious to boots, when
kept constantly on the feet The yarnish
and Waterproof blackjngs are generally
of far more injury than benefit 10 either

Orchard and Nursery

Both orchardist and nurseymen will find
something to do in preserving the trees
they already have, as well in providing for
further operations whether Of buying or
selling. Cattle will often in winter do more
injury to a young orchard in a few hours
than monthe Of nursing will repair ; hence
Fences and GATES, about which people are
usually SO careless in winter, should be
made tight \ few hours work and some
nails, may save much vexation and perhaps
loss Of neighborly feeling Then other
smaller animals are to be guarded against.
Rabbits, in many sections, do great dam
age by girdling young trees Prevention
is better than cure and among the prcven-
tives already published are, wrapping the
trunks with paper and smearing them with
blood. \ correspondent states, that the use
OF COW dung, sufficiently thinned with wa
ter to apply with brush some sulphur be
ing added, renders the bark so offensive as
to repeI the rabbits. Apply as often as it
is washed of.
Nice are also destructive, especially to
small trees, curraut bushes, etc. They
generally work under the cover of litter or
tight snow, hence the ground should have
be lett clean. Tramp the snow down close
around the trunk Don't shoot the owls
Broken limbs Of trees sometimes result
from an unusual weight of snow or other
cause and as soon as the damage sdiscover-
ed, steps should at once be- taken towards
repairing it. The fracture usually takes
place where limb joins the trunk or larg-
cr limb, and leaves a long ragged wound
This must be smoothed with the drawing
knife, chsel or whatever tool will best
make a clean surface, and then covered
with grating wax or clay. If the latter
is employed, use plenty and bind it ON with
old cloth
