A COBEESPOOTENT writes :—" As it is of the utmost importance to be able to keep the feet dry in wet weather, I send you a receipt which I have used for twelve years, and found effectual':—'Put one pound of mutton tallow and half a pound of resin in a pot on the fire. When melted and mixed, warm the boots and apply thehot otuff with a painter's brush until neither the sole nor the upper -will soak any more.' If it is desired that the boots should immediately take a polish, dissolve one ounce of wax in spirits of turpentine, to .which add a teaspoonf ul of lampblack. A day after the boots have been treated with the tallow and resin, rub this preparation over them, but not before the fire."
