Terms, cash on delivery. v e make the following extract front the Patent Ofl.ee Report of 1S5'J : . i Experience has shown that a number of diseases, often resulting in impaired constitutions, and even in thv loss of life, have been contracted by a porting of the laboring ppuIationt in consequence of wearing leather shoes, when enpaed in their operation, during cold weather, or in wet situations. To prevent these evils to some extent, wooden shoes are extensively worn in France and Oer nianv. They are highly' recommended by the Agricul tural Societies and goernments of Europe. Impressed 1 XV'tl,eir "'Bportanee, the Board of Commerce and trade' of YV irtemhei-g, called a practical workman from France to give '.instruction in their manufacture. - yot allowing water, to penetrate as leather shoes do, they are naturally dryer, capable of keeping the feet warm, prevent diseases by promoting the requisite and salutary perspira tion, and are regarded, to a great extent, as life preservers. ,, There Is hardly an operation ou the farm and about the farm -housa in which thev could not be nrnfitahlv ud. They are most economical about stnbles, where leather t.hoeare exposed to the destructive attacks of dung-water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work in vineyards, chopping wood, and ia marketing. With then advantages, in a salutary point of view, they combine such durability as to last almost a life lime.
