the soles of their boots thoroughly with
hot pne-tar. they will find that the
leather has been made perfectly impeI-
vious to water. The-s soles are rendered
hard and smooth, resisting wear much
longer than they could if not thus treated.
The tar holds the pegs or the stitches
firmly, so that the sole will not rip from
the upper. Care should be taken to
have the soles as perfectly dry as pos
sible before the tar is applied, and as
hot as they can be made without burn
ing the leather. The tar should be boiled
for a time to expel most of the water it
may contain, and be applied while hot.
