Farmers Shoe-Grease.

Put into some 6re-proof vessel, one
fourth Of . pound Of lard, or # grease
ike lard, one-fourth of pound OF talow
beef or mutton tallow-one-tourth of a
pound Of beeswax, half pint of linseed
oil, three or four tabespoontuls of lamb
black, and a piece of pulverized gum
camphor as large as be IS egg. Melt
the ingredients over a slow FIRE, and stir
them thoroughly after they are melted.
Never heat so hot as to make it boil.
Soft grease which has salt in it will not
inlure leather. Now have the leather
warm, aud warm the grease not 50 1t will
flow, but have it so soft that it may be
applied with brush. Should the leather
seem to need it, give the shoes or boots
an oiling occasionally. 1t Is not best to
dry the shoe grease in before the fire, but
allow it to remain on the surface of the
leather. A light coat of this kind of
grease will exclude the water, even if
boots are exposed to wet all day. This
shoe grease will not injure leather by rem
dering it hard and in-elastic. When
mans boots are exposed 10 wet all day,
he should wash them clean at night, and
hang them up in the kitchen, where the
leather will dry gradually, and put on a
little grease every morning. 1t Is far
better to grease little, often, than to
grease bountifully every ten or twelve
DAYS. Leather should not be allowed to
become very dry before greasing Al
ways apply the grease as soon as the
leather is almost dry; then the leather
will be mellow, aud never become hard.
Nothing injuries boots and shoes more
than to set them aside to dry when cover
ed with dirt. Keep boots and shoes away
from the fire, where they are liable to be
heated. Heating leather Injuries it,

4 story Is told Of couple of farmers
who lived not a great distance apart, one
of whom was noted for being very penu-
rious. One day his neighbor called upon
him while he was eating dinner, but In
stead of asking him to sit down to the ia
bic with him, he kept on eating and talk
ing just as though the visitor hadn't a
mouth IN his head. well, what Is the
news, neighbor Brown" Nothing
much" No news up your way?" he
asked, still helping himself to his good
dinner, while his neighbOr looked on with
anxiety and appetite well, yes; now
that | think ont, there is Just a grain OF
news. Mr.. Jones COW has got FIVE
calves, replied the visitor. Five calves!
