“ NINETY-FIVE

CENT. 
STERLING 
RUBBER 99 
BOOL. 
Designed to wear from September to 
The Candee Rubber Company inform the public that these Boots are 
made to supply the popular demand for an All-Rubber Boot, and are as 
pure as can be made. The upper and legs are of double thickness of 
Rubber, the fibre or grain of which is crossed at right angles, whereby 
separation of the fibres or “ cracking ” is made impossible. 
Ordinary Rubber Boots invariably wrinkle, leading to cracks, besides 
chafing the feet and ankles, and wearing out the stockings. All this is 
obviated by the Double Upper and Leg. The bottoms are of Solid Rub¬ 
ber, half-inch thick, and not filled with Rags, like common Rubber 
Boots. In the cut below, the black part marked “ Solid Rubber Fill¬ 
ing,” in ordinary Rubber Boots is made of ground up scraps of cloth, 
and is neither durable nor water-proof; but in the “Ninety-five Per 
Cent. Sterling Boot,” when the tap sole and long sole are worn through, 
a third sole—all solid Rubber—presents itself, and gives 100 per cent, 
additional wear without increase of bulk or weight. These soles Will 
outwear several pairs of common Rubber Boots. 
Warranted Three Montlis, 
And that there may be no question as to the time, the patent binding, as 
seen in cut, provides a space for every day, month and year, so that in 
making a sale, the Rubber Co. punch out the date thereof, and the 
Boots will in themselves bear permanent record of that date. (See 
warrant in large circular, accompanying the Boots.) 
Esquimaux Lined—Iron Heel Plates—Outside Stand Straps.

“ Sterling” Hip. (i.50 
Every Boot bears the warrant 
in Rubber letters on the leg. 
These Boots, although seeming¬ 
ly high priced, are more economi¬ 
cal than a Boot of less cost, and 
with proper care will 
render good service 
from Fall until 
Spring.

Twenty-Five Gent Dinners 
FOR FAMILIES OF SIX. 
By Miss JULIET CORSON, 
Superintendent of the New York Cooking School. 
Miss Corson undeiakes to show that a good dinner can he 
made for the sum of twenty-live cents, not only for one per¬ 
son, but for a family of six, comprising the two parents and 
four children of the usual ages and appetites. We can com¬ 
mend this work to every family, especially to farmers’ fam¬ 
ilies, who will find here the methods of cooking the articles 
of food furnished by the farm, in a variety of acceptable 
forms. Most farmers have a great abundance, but their 
tables lack variety, and to this end, Miss Corson’s little book 
will be found full of useful hints.

The Shepherd’s Manual. 
A Practical Treatise on the Sheep. 
Designed Especially for American Shepherds. 
By HENRY STEYVART. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The first edition of this Manual has been so well received, 
and the letters acknowledging indebtedness for assistance 
derived from it have been so many and so emphatic, that 
the author lias the best of reasons for presenting this new 
and enlarged edition to the public. It is intended to be so 
plain that a farmer, or a farmer’s son, who has never kept a 
sheep, may learn from its pages how to manage a flock suc¬ 
cessfully, and to he so complete that even the experienced 
shepherd may gather some suggestions from it. The author 
feels, with enlarged experience since the first publication of 
the volume, that lie can still more confidently than before 
encourage the young shepherd to accept this Manual as a 
guide and a counsellor.

A Trochar for Cattle-Men. 
In June of 1S72 we gave illustrations of a Trochar and 
Cannula io be used in ringing a hull, and on 
page 13 (January) and page 97 (March) of the 
American Agriculturist for 1S73 (copies of 
which may be got from this office for 15 cents 
each) wc described the use of this apparatus 
in relieving hovcu in cattle. These ar¬ 
ticles have brought out a large demand for 
Trochars, and failing to find just the right 
kind among the makers of surgical imple¬ 
ments, we have induced an establishment 
to undertake their manufacture. We give 
herewith a small engraving of the Trochar. 
These articles are now in the trade, and 
maybe had of most dealers in agricultural 
implements. Those who can not get them from dealers 
can receive them from this office, prepaid, for $1.00.
