If a man would never wear his shoes more than two days in succession, aud at tea it once a month go over them with a brush dipped in vaseliuo, he would Gud that they would give much better (satisfaction and last much longer. To do this a man ought to have three pairs of shoes. 'l'heu he could give each pair one day *>f work and two days of rest. During these twj days the leather has time to regain elasticity and stretch out the wrinkles the foot has made. The wr tikles become breaks in the leather if the shoo is con tinuously worn. The mac who now wears out three pairs of shoes, one after another, a year, tvilt find that same num ber will list !nm two j'-ars if worn as a buvc suggested. Of course 1 am witling. ,f he wears them out in one year." W llEßia IS Tin: DOL LAR.

Ah, good liieud, there is tio man in this land who knows butter tliau the farmer the purchasing power of the dol lar. lie knows full well that it will buy more than ever before. He knows that it buys more bushels of wheat, more bushels of corn and more bushels of labor than ever before. It bu\s double as much of his cotton, corn, etc., as it did a few year.- ago. Yea, the farmer knows the ' dollar will buy mora than, ever before." Hut what is equaliv im portant and interesting to him is the other question: Will it jay marc taxes will it | tiy mire debt, will it pay more lawyer's fees, will it pay more doctor's bills, will it pay more on his mortgage than ever before? 1 bis is the scale iu which to weigh the dollar to see how niujh more it is worth than over before. Verily, the fanner knows the purchasing power of the dollar. Wo have often hoard of of latt» this sage and consoling remark made te the farmer. It is easy to tell him that a d liar will buy more than ever before Hut he iu voluntarily responds: Where ia the dollar?
