I Experience hasshown that a number of diseases, often resulting in impaired constitutions, and even in the loss of life, have been contracted ly pnrtiou of the laboring: population, in consequence of wearins; ImW ilmw) wW engaged in their operations, durintr cold weather., or la wot situations. To prevent these evils to, some extent, wooden 'shoes are extensively worn "in France and Ger- J many. They are highly recomtnend?di bv the Agricul-' ? tural Societies aad governmenU of Europe. Impressed '1 Wi-- importance, the Board of Commerce and trade j of lrtemberg, called a practical workman from France to ' give instruction in their manufacture. Not . allowing water to peuetrate as leather shoes do, they are' -naturally dryer ,.cauable of keeping the feet warm, prevent diseases by prbmotiig the requisite and salutary perspira tion, and are regarded, to a great extent, as life preservers. ' - There is hardly an operation on the farm and about t ne fai m-houae in which they could not be profitably . used. They areinost economical about stabtes,where leather shoes are exposed to the destructive attacks of dung-water, in ptowiug, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work in , vineyards, chopping wood, and in marketing. With thes'1 advantages, in a -salutary- point of view, they combine ? such durability as to last almost a life time. ;' " These advantages will certainly entitle them to the atten- . tion of a portion of the farming, manufactnring and labour--' ing populatiouof the counsry. i- .
