When old boots or shoes require new
rair Of soles, they should BE well dried
before the fire; then scrapo the soles
with !. bit of glasS, to remove all grit
from thsm; now take {. small piece Of
gutta. percha ard rub it into the soles
with . hot iron. A poker CT screw
driver will answer the purpose. Heat
the end n 3 great heat, and with its aid
cover the whole sole with thin coat of
gutta,p ch., Then lsy the boot before
the re, where it will keep well heated,
andtake gutta-percha soles, such as are
kept for sale, and put a brad-a through
one Of them, about an inch from one end
and hold it before the fire until it is
toasting hot. When its surface has be-
come in an adhesive condition, put the
cool side down on piece of paper, upon
a bcard-a single is the best thing
then place the boot which has been kept
hot, directly upon it; put the hand into
it to keep it in proper position, and in a
few moments you can lift it up-no mat
ter if the paper does stick to the sole
and press the new sole down equally with
the fingers. Let it cool thoroughly, and
after it is cold, trim off the edges with
sharp knife. Now, il you have followed
the directions exactly. your boots will
have strong sole, which will not become
detached. Leather, or gutta-percha
soles with holes in them or partly worn
away, can be made whole by melting
upon them with a hot screw driver,
small bits ofgutta-percha-any fragment
will do. But the soles must be perfectly
dry and free from any grit or dirt, dry
ness and cleanliness being the essentials
to success. For over dozen years this
method of mending boots and shoes has
boen followed with perfect satisfaction,
and many old pairs of them have been
rendered waterproof and useful warmth
in the soles, good hot iron and clever
hand to spread the gutta-percha, are all
that are needed.

To make square harrow in two parts
hinged together in the centre, take four
pieces of AKA oak or maple scantling six
feet long. Mortise the shorter pieces
into the longer ones twenty inches apart
and six inches from each end, thus max.
ing two frames or gates six feet long
three feet wide, and with four cross bars
each. Hinge the two gates together by
means of three pairs of eye bolts with a
long rod passing through each pair. Put
five feet twelve inches long and three
quarters of an inch thick of square iron
rod into each cross-bar, and three teeth
into each main bar between the cross
bars. There will then be fifty-tw0 teeth.

Batter.

At the late butter and egg convention
d. w. Dake, of Beloit. read a paper ON
Rancid Butter, what makes it SO, and
How to Avoid it."
He said butter, as an article Of COM
merce is very different from pure butter
in its composition. AS an article of
commerce it contained elements of its
own destruction, commonly called sugar
of milk, which exposed to the air, be-
came oxidized, and decomposition began.
The first change was called Tactic fer
mentation, leading to Tactic acid, the
presence of which in milk made it sour.
This acid was the result of certain ele-
ments aud conditions. Its formation in
milk could be retarded by controlling
the air and temperature a sufficient time
to allow the cream to rise, which was
half the battle in manufacturing good
butter. If it was allowed to form in the
milk, the seeds of destruction were in
corporated in the butter at once. At
least twenty per cent. of the butter coz
tanned in the milk produced through the
warm months was thrown away in
the sour milk, while tons of coagulum
took its place and was called and
sold as butter. Other changes took
place by which hydrogen, carbonic
and butyric acids were generated. The
presence of butyric acid gave rancid
butter its unpleasant smell and taste, and
came from the decomposition OF ingredi-
ents improperly incorporated therein.
The rancidity of butter was attributable
to ignorance or negligence in the the
care Of milk, which was the question of
the hour with dairymen. It should not
be kept where it was subject to impure
air or in illy-ventilated or unclean places.
Cooperative dairymen had done a great

MR.. II. r. STEVENS:
DeIr Strive have good reason for reglrling

We feel assured that it has been the means of
saving our sons life He is now seventeen years
of age; for the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his Leg caused by scrOiuous affection
and WAS far reduced that nearly all who saw
him Thought his recovery impossible. 4 council
of able physicians could give US but the f,intest
hope of his ever ralying; TWO of the numer de-
claring that ne was beyond the reach of human
remedies, that even ampuiation could not save
him, as he had not vigor enough 10 endure the
operation. Just then We commenced giving him
VEGErINE and from that lime to the present
he has been continuously improving. He has
lately resumed studies, thrown away his crutehes
and cane and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares
he is too well to he taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,

Some fifteen miles above Washington
are the great falls of the Potomac river,
said to be the largest available water
power east of the Mississippi. The ca
pacity of the falls is estimated at a mean
average of twenty thousand horse power.
This vast water-power, with all the mill
privileges and franchises on both sides of
the Potomac, and nearly a thousand
acres of land on the Virginia side, is Sc
cured for manufacturing purposes, by
perpetual charters of incorporation from

Shall Useful Birds be Protected.

EDIToR RURAL WORLD: Shall the
birds be killed ard insects protected, or
shall we protect tie birds? am in
favor of lay Of the whole people that
will forbid the killing of wood birds of
every sort, either for purposes of trade at
the market places or the so-called protec-
ton of vegetable life. The water fowl
only should be hunted in the trade in
game, I would rather have a partridge
with her brood Of young, to look over the
garden, than a hired man. There was
no trouble from loss caused by insects
devourirg vegetable growth when the
country was overrun with quails, prairie
chickens, pheasants, woodcocks and 9TH
er birds. The woodpecker had his day
of glory in Kentucky long time ago, and
then the "borer" never troubled
the trees. Yet because red head would
sometimes whet his appetite with a ripe
cherry or mouthful of green corn, he was
condemned TO die and the great family of
insects adopted ip his stead.
The result ought to enlighten our peo-
pie and probably would, if they could
get their minds free from the curse of
partisan politics, and think and act like
rational men. Darwin's theory of the
improved monkey can soon be amended,
and the monkey without the improve
ment set forth unless we amend our
ways, give up our follies and lean TO
think and act more like rational beings,
than appearances now indicate. Kay.
