ECONOMY IN LEATHER.
Simple Measures Recommended
for Increasing the Wear of
Shoes and Preserving
= Harness.

War demands leather-leath-
er for soldiers shoes, leather for
harness, leather for equipment
of many kinds. In this country
there is no such surplus that
we can afford to waste any of
it; and it is wasting leather not
to care for and preserve it prop
erly. In the Army and out, we
all wear shoes. If we manage
them rightly, they will last long
er, we will not need SO many new
ones, and there will be more'left
for others. The following sug-
gestions from the Leather and
Paper Laboratory of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture can be utilized by every
one who walks.
To Save Shoes.
Shoes should be oiled OF
creased whenever the leather
begins to get hard or dry. They
should be brushed thoroughly
nd then all the dirt and muC
that remains washed off witt

being taken off with dry cloth

warm, apply the oil or grease
with a sWab Of wool or flannel.
1t is best to have the oil or grease
about as warm as the hand can
bear, and it should be rubbed
well into the leather, preferably
with the palm. If necessary the
oil can be applied to dry leather,
but it penetrates better when
the latter is wet. After treat
ment, the shoes should be left
to dry in a place that is warm,
not hot.
Castor oil is satisfactory for
shoes that are to be polished ;
for palmer footgear neat's-foot,
fish oil, or oleine may be substi-
tuted. If it is desired to make
the shoes and boots more water
proof, beef talloW may be added
to any of these substances at
the rate of half a pound of tai
low to a pint of oil. The edge
of the sole and the welt should
be creased thoroughly. Too much
grease can not be applied tx
these parts.

the soles more durable, pliable

All those which contain sui
phuric, hydrochloric, or oxalic
acids, turpentine, benzine, or
other volatile solvents, have a
tendency to harden the leather
and make it more liable to crack.
It is poor economy, too, to
wear a shoe with the heel bad
ly worn on one side. This throws
the shoe out of shape and may
soon result in it's ruin. 1t is al
so likely to cause temporary in
jury to the foot.
To Preserve Harness.
Harness leather, like shoes,
can not be neglected without in
jury that lessons it's durability.
It should be washed and oiled
frequently. The washing should
be done in tepid water with a
neutral soap and a sponge or
stiff brush. After rinsing in
clean tepid water, the harness
is hung up to drain a little while
before oiling.
For driving harness heats
foot or castor oil is best, but for
heavy harness there may be
some tallow in the oil. The ap-
lplications should be light fol-
driving and liberal for heavy
harness. The oil, warm to the
hand, is rubbed thoroughly into
| the leather while it is still wet
from the washing. Excess OF
