Jf oi allowing water to penetrate as leather shoes do, they art naturally dryer, capable of keeping the feet warm, prevent diseases by promoting the requisite and salutary peraplra twn, and are regarded, to a great extent, a life preserver. , - rThere hardly an operation on the farm and , Me farm-kou which they could not be profitably used. They are most economical about stable,wbere leather shoes are exposed to the destructive attacks of dung-water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work in vineyards, chopping won, and in marketing. - With ther advantages, in a salutary point of view, ther combine such durability as to last almost a lire time. These advantages will certainly entitle them to the atten tion of a portion of the farming, manufacturing and labour ing population of the counsry. 1 , v . ' THEIM A FRAPS. Raleign. N.
