Experience has shown that a number of diseases, often resulting in Impaired constitutions, and even in the loss of life, have been contracted by portion of tho laboring population, in consequence of wearing leather shoes, when engaged in their operations, 'during cold weather, or in 1 wet situations. To prevent these evils to soma extent. wooden shoes nre exteuvtly worn in France and Ger mtnJ' Tne7 sure highly recommended by the Agricul tural Societies and governments' of Europe. Impressed wiwtheirilmportance' the Bo1"4 of Commerce and trade of Wirtemberg, called a practical workman from France to give instruction in their manufacture. . Kot allowing water to-penetrato as leather shoes do,' they are naturally dry or, 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 on the farm and about the farm-house in which they could not be profitably used. They are most economical about sUfcles, where leather shoes are exposed to .the destructive atUcka of dung-water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work in vineyards, chopping wood, and in marketing. With thea advantages, in a salutary point of view, they combine such durability as tn lat almost a life time. . These advantages will certainly entitle them to the atten tion of a portion of the farming, manufacturing and labour ing population of the eounsry. TIIEIM 4 FRAPS. Raleigh. N.
