How TO Prevent W.T. FEEr.-A writer in

have had three pairs of boots in the last
six years, and think l shall not require any
more for the next six years to come. The res-
son is that treat them in the following manner:
put pound each of tailow and rosin in pot
over The fire, and when melted and mixed sp.
ply it hot, with a'painter's brush, until neither
cole nor upper will soak any more. If it is de-
sired that the boots should Immediately take
. polish, dissolve an ounce of wax in tea
spoonful Of turpentine and lsmpblaek. A day
or two after the boots have been treated with
the rosin and tallow, rub over them this wax
and turpentine, but not before the fire. Thus
the interior will,have coat of wax alone, and
shine like mirror. TalIow and grease be
come rancid. and rot the stitching or leather;
but the resin gives it an sntiseptic quality,
which preserves the whole. Boots or shoes
should be so large a TO admit Of wearing cork
coles. Cork is so;bsd q conductor Of the heat
