We make the following extract from tho Patent OOm Keport of 1859 : : k v , Experience has shown that a number of diseases, often resulting in impaired constitutions, and even la the loss of lire, have been contracted by a portion' of tbe laboring population, in consequence of wearing leather shoea, when, ' engagto: in their operations, during cold weather, or U " wet situations. To prevent these evils (o some extent, wooden shoes are extensively wora tn Trance and Oer- ' many. They aro highly recommended by tbe Agrieul tu!u ?ie,tl tBd toweut of Eumpe. Impressed w "Lthoir importance, the Board of Cosnmereo and trado of Wtrtemberg, called a practical workman from France- to give instruction in their manufacture. ' Net allowing water to penetrate as leather shoes do, ther aro naturalfy dryer, eapable of keeping tht feet jrarm, prevent diseases by promoting the requisite and salutary perspira tion and are regarded, to a great extent, as Uf. preservers, " v . 1 There U hardly an operation on tbe farm aa4 about the farm-house in which they could not be profitably used. They are moat economical aboutatablea,where leather shoes are exposed to tbe destructive attacks of dung, water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, la doing earth work ia vineyards, chopping wood, and in marketing. WUh those advantages, in a salutary point of view, they combine, such durability as to last almost n lift tlrao.r These adranUgea wUl certainly eaUtie thesa to the atten tion of a portion of the forming, manufacturing and labour ing population of the country. - - . , , , .
