"A correspondent of the English
Mechanic, in reply to query as to the
best method of keeping the feet dry,
says: A simple plan would be, on having
pair of shoes made, to order the maker
to put in between the soles a piece of
sheet gutta-percha as thick as six
pence. No wet or damp will ever get
through. have adopted this plan for
some years. Formerly had both wet
and cold feet continually, which even
worsted stockings failed to keep warm;
now Iwear cotton all the winter, and
never have cold feet.
"A stormy day improved by making
a few racks to hold hay and fodder for
cattle, sheep and horses, will return
large profits before summer comes, in
saving the feed from being trampled un-
der foot and in the mud, and thus wasted
and destroyed. Plenty of feeding-racks
about the barn.yard is an evidence of a
careful, painstaking farmer-and only
such can make anything nowadays. Ii
is not those who make the most that
thrive best-but it is those who save the
most of what they do make. The secret
of success is in saving all that can econ
omically and wisely be saved.-CoImdH'S
