GARDENING BOOTS MADE WATERTIGHT
With wet weather comes the danger of garden boots letting in the water. You may, however, prevent this by making and applying the following waterproof mixture; —Put some beeswax in a jar, well cover with castor or neatsfoot oil, and stand in a warm place till the wax melts. Then stir the mixture thoroughly and allow it to cool, when it should be of the consistency of dubbin; but if too thick add more oil. To use, warm and and apply while soft with a stiff brush. Then warm the boots gently and give a second coat, which will result in their being perfectly waterproof. "
