Taxing Care of Shoes.

In nearly all homes, most particularly
where there are children, there is generally
an accumulation of shoes of all kinds, half
worn, whole worn, and very little worn.
In the majority of homes these are thrown
promiscuously together in a closet or some
other receptacle, to be assorted when want
ed. Some Of these are of no use to the pos
SCISSORS, but are boarded up with the idea
that they may some day be found useful,
yet rarely is this true, for if put away for
any length Of time they are, when taken
out, generally unfit for use. There are few
things that will collect mold as quickly as
old boots or shoes, more particularly if in
close receptacle, such as dark closet. Con-
sequently, when they are laid away for any
length Of time, trey should be taken out
into the light and air occasionally, to keep
them in fair condition. Musty shoes in the
home will not tend toward the good health
OF the family, and the fewer of such things
there are the better. 1t is much the better
way where there are more than one extra
pair OF cast-off shoes to each person, to see
That the super fiuous shoes are given to some
one III need OF them. The housewife may
thlnk that they are not worth giving away,
being worn so badly, yet the shoes she
would think unfit for this purpose would be
accepted with gratitude by many poor
unfortunate person. 1t is wonderful how
very much worn shoe may be ere it is re-
1ected by needy person. Do not allow old
boots and shoes to accumulate, but give
them where they will do the most good. and
you Will never regretit.
Shoes that are worn regularly, il cared
Tor Will last much longer than if neglected,
as is too often the case. A French kid shoe,
IL carelessly cared for will not look as we'll
nor last as long as one OF an inferior quality
That is looked after properly. When shoes
are taken off they should be thoroughly
brushed, to remove the dust that invariably
collects in the creases, smoothed out with
ene hand and placed away in shoe bag or
oo1 away from the dust, and when wanted
Tor use they can be taken out ready for
wear Where there is not a bag or box

tnlhg Shoes will last much longer IL, when
new, they are rubbed with castor oil. Hold

from cracking. When boots are worn every

Sweet Potatoes for New Ground.
There is no crop so serviceable on new
ground as sweet potatoes. vast quantity
of trash may be worked into the beds if it
be done a sufficient time before planting,
says D. R. Pilsbry IN the Florida AgricuL-
turlst. 1t time now to start preparations
for next summers crop. Surprising the
grubbing done and the trees girdled, the
old logs and palmetto roots removed, be-
gin by tearing up the ground with bull
tongue, furnished with good stiff coulter,
running both ways very close, then drag
thoroughly and leave few weeks to settle
Now put in a good turning pillow, after
which leave the ground rough until spring
when an occasional narrowing will be most
useful, breaking up and disturbing the
trash. This process tends to compost the
lower soil, and makes it much more reten-
tive of moisture. Burn nothing; cast of
or pile roots and logs, and burn what must
be disposed of after scooters, SO fires may
not run; no matter how heavy the grass
and small growth may be. let it go into he
soil, and help make a soil. Should the wild
growth be light, sow COW peas early as posi-
BILE, say March 1, and some weeks before
planting bed the land, turning in the peas.
But this must be done in time; it will not
do to ridge to-day, turning in mast of sue
culent material and plant at once, for the
fermentation of quantities of green stuff is
hurtful to tender roots, and the vines, no
matter what you may do or how favorable
the weather may be, will stand still or die
outright
The sweet potato is hearty feeder, and
taking root as it does, at all points, it gets
away with great amount of rubbish. BY
this plan soil is made, while by the system
of raking with fine tooth comb and burn
ing everything that can be burned, one is
destroyed, at least the first step is taken to
that end. But it must be remembered that
SO great a feeder has no business in the
grove. To reduce rough land and render
coarse material fine, 1t exceeds any crop,
but is not calculated to follow itself with
out systematic fertilizing, since it occupies
the land nearly all tue growing season. So
if the object in view is to fit the land for a
grove, only one crop should be allowed. My
idea is that where land is to be used for
grove or orchard, this crop should be used
once to reduce the trash, or, as it is ex-
pressed. sweeten the soil, and after trees are
planted, some other crop; few rows of rice
or peanuts, something that has limits to it's
ambition. The same qualities that make it
so good crop as a preparation, render it
about the meanest one to continue the use of
when the trees are once planted.
