LEATHER ECONOMY
 :. NEEDED IN AMERICA
Shoes and Harness Should Be 1. Preserved Against Waste

Washington. D. C.. May 1S.-War
 demands leather-leather for sol-
 dier1 shoes leather for harness
 leather for equipment of many kinds. s1n this country there is no such sur
 plus that we can afford to waste any
 of 1t: and 1t is wasting leather not to care for and preserve it properly. In the army. and out, we all wear sshoes. If we manage them rightly they will last longer, we will not need so many new ones and there will be more left for others. The following suggestions from the leather and pa- per laboratory of the United States department of agriculture can be utilized by everyone who walks.
 To Save Shoes.
 shoes should be oiled or greased whenever the leather begins to get hard or dry. They should be brushed thoroughly and then all the dirt and mud that remains washed off with warm water, the excess water being taken or with dry cloth. While the shoes arc stin wet and warm ap- ply the oil or grease with . Sswab of wool or flannel. It is hest to have the oil or grease about as ,warm as the hand can hear and 1t should be rubbed we'll into the leather. prefer ably with the palm, If necessary, the oil can be applied to dry leather, but it spenetrates b4tter when the lat ter is wet. After treatment the shoes should be left to dry in . place that is warm-not hot.
 Castor oil is satisfactory for shoes that are to be polished: for palmer footgear neatsfoot, fish oil or 'oleine may be substituted. If 1t is desired to make the shoes and boots more wa terproof. beef tallow may be added to any of these substance1 at the rate of half pound of tallow to . pint of oil. The edgo of the sole and the volt should be greased thoroughly. Too much grease can not be applied to thsss parts
 < "A simpIs msthod of making the soles mors durable. piia4is and wa ter resistant, ig to swab them occa- sionaIly with linseed oil setting them aside to dry over night.
 Many of the common shoe polishee are. harmful to leather. All those which contain sulphurtc, hydrochlor- ic, or oxaliG aclds, turpentin1, ben- zine, or other vol6xila solvents. have a tendency to harden the lsa4her and make it moro liable to crack.
 It r poor ses0noGay, too, to wear el shoe with tho heel badly worn on one side. This throws the shoe out of shape and may soon result In it's ruin. It is also nksly to cause temporary in- jury to the foot.
 10 Preserve Harness.
 |, Harness leather, like shoes, can not be neglected without injury that les- sens its durability. It should be washed and oiled frequently. The washing should be done in tepid wa ter, with neutral soap and . sponge or stife brush. After rinsing in clean tepid water, the harness is hung up to drain little while before 0iling. z
 For driving harness neatsfoot or castor oil Is best. but for heavy har- ness there maEsbe some tallow in the oil. The applications should be light for driving and liberal for heavy har- ness. The oil, warm to the hand. is

TONE OF THE MARKET.
Receipts of beef cattle were fairly
heavy, but there was good demand
which kept prices steady on all but
the poorer grades, which showed some
decline. For the choicest steers ana
oxen the market ranged from 11Q12
1-2c, with good quality 10@11c and poor
to ordinary 9@10c. The best heavy
COWS and heifers command 9G10c, with
extra a fraction higher. Good quality
s@9c, poor to ordinary 6 3-4GSc, and
bolognas and Gamers 3-4q6 3-4c.
Bulls are in good supply, selling from
7G10c, with choice heavy bulls up to
10 Lee.
. Veal calves were in better d mand
and the market was stronger. Good
average calves bring from 9911c, with
ass each.
Hogs were unchanged from a week
ago, selling at Is 3-4616 LAC live
weight Offerings at the yards were
rather light. but at the packing houses
were about as usual.
Sheep and lambs showed a weaker
tone, due to the fact that the quality
is far poorer than that of western
sheep and lambs, which sell for more
there than can be obtained for native
animals here. Sheep sell nominaily at
about 7Gr11c. and lambs at 11@14c.
Mich cows were in moderate sup
ply. with the market as previously
quoted. Good average cows sell at
80, with choice cows up to $40.
and poor cows down to about $40.
Stock bulls are in small supply at from
s25G40 each.
The market for live poultry was ir-
regular. Fowl were lower at 23@24c,
broiler chickens higher at 33@34c, and
ROSTERS higher at $50 lie. :
