To Correct Damaged Grain. —Musty
grain totally unfit for use and which can
scarcely be ground, may, it is said, be ren
dared perfectly sweet and sound by immer
sing it in boiling water, and letting it re
main till the water becomes cold. Thb
quantity of water must be double that of
thegraid'to bfe ptrrified. The musty quality
rarely penetrates through the husk or bran
of the wheat. In the hot water, all the de
cayed or rotten grain swims upon thesur
face, so that the remaining wheat is effectu
aUy cleansed from all impurities, withoa*
any material loss. It is afterwads to be
dried, stiring occasionally, on tb* kiln.
N. E. Farmer.
Peas are much esteemed, every where,
add early in the season sell at high prices.
Those who wish them first should sow in
autumn. Mr. Fessarfhn, author of the
American Gardener, contended that peas
sown in the fall,,rfould be ten or fifteen
days earlier tha* those sown as early as
the ground corfld be prepared in the spring.
If the fall Selected, the ground should be
raised a little by the plough, the peas put
in thick, and protected by planks, broad
fence rails, or straw. In the latter part of
winter & at the opening, on every pleasant
day, if the sun shift's, the covering should
be taken off; t returned again at night
or at the approach of bad weather. The
greatest enemies of peas planted in the fall
are the mice and rats ; but even they may
be kept out by proper attention. They
should not be suffered to build nests about
the covering of peas, and all will be safe.
At the approach of growing weather in the
spring, the ground should be dry, and made
as light as possible.— Agriculturist.
PLANTING FRUIT TREES.
Now is the season for those who intend
to plant out fruit trees to exert themselves.
It is much better to do it now, than to put
it off till spring. Not only is it better for
the trees as they are thus enabled to estab
lish themselves in their new situation be
fore the spring opens, and they bud out—
the fall and winter rains settling the earth
firmly about the roots, which are by no
means idle during the long winter months
-—but the farmer has more leisure now
than in the hurry of spring work. At this
season of the year, too, the nurseries ar?
well stocked; the handsome, healthy
looking plants have not been culled out,
leaving generally but a poor choice for
those who have neglected planting till
spring. If some fresh light mould from
the woods or road sides be put in the hole
for the reception of the tree, it is thought
to act beneficially in giving the young roots
a start.— Western Far. fy Gard.
SALT FOR ANIMALS
The importance of furnishing salt to do
mestic animals, does not appear to be suffi
ciently understood. Though all are aware
of the avidity with which animals eat it
when given them ; there are many who
scarcely salt their animals through the sea
son. Now it is evident that animals should
have it at all times at their command.
They will never eat more than is good for
them, and it is essential to their health and
comfort. The quantity allowed in Spain
for-1000 sheep, is ‘25 quantals—probably
twice the amount the same number usually
get in this country ; and this quantity is
Consumed by them in about five months,
they getting little in the winter or while
journeying to and fro their mountain pas
tures. Lord Somerville allowed a ton of
salt to a thousand sheep and found they
consumed the most in the spring and fall,
and at those seasons it was probably most
useful to themasa security against disease
Os its value for animals in a medicinal
point of view, the following fact, stated
by the celebrated Curwin, must be deemed
decisive :
“Before I commenced giving my cattle
salt, my farrier’s bill averaged 58 pounds
perannum,(or more than 250 dollars,) and
since I have used salt, I have never paid in
anyone year over five shillings.”
Where cattle have access to sheds, trou
ghs with a constant supply of salt in them,
should be kept for their use. Where they
must be salted in the fields, thoughs should
be placed, and salt supplied frequently.
There will, in exposed troughs, always
be more or less loss from rain, but that
should not prevent a supply. It has been
found an excellent practice where sheep
alone come to the troughs to put a little
Car on the bottom and sprinkle the salt up
on it. In this way a small portion of the
fur is taken with the salt, and is not only
found conducive to health, but, rubbed in
this way over the nose, serves to prevent
the attacks of the Estrus ovis or sheep fly.

PRESERVATION OF FRUITS.
Being well aware that there are a num
ber of good housewives, who take much
pride and pleasure in setting before their
.guests the best specimens of al 1 kinds of re
freshments, in the most tempting and deli
cious mode of preparation, we propose now
to give some instructions to the ladies of
our farming brethren, on the subject of
making preserves, pfcfefes, &c. We know
that all the good dames-are in the habit of
making some preserves, piekles, &c., but
they will, we trust, pardow ue, when we
My that there are but few amongst them,
whose preserves are perfectly whole and
elimrcor transparent,’ qualities so desirable
both for ffivor and’ beauty ; or where pic
kles have that crispness and relishing fla
vored desirable in them.- The following
receipts have been obtaiiieitAritb some dif
ficulty from a German, who has been in
the habit, for a long time, of preparing
an immense quantity of these articles in a
large produce house, for steam boats and
foreign use. The great object he has ob
tained in his mode, is the prevention of
fermentation at uny period after he has made
them. This is a great point gained. An
other feature in his plun is the using the
white Havana powdered sugar, for it is
impossible that the molasses which brown
sugar of any quality contains, can he clear
ed from it so as to prevent its taste in ‘b°
preserved fruit. For the best mode of pre
serving peaches, observe the following di
rections :
Dissolve in cold water, s much white
Havana sugar as it \yiß bold in solution,
place the raw syrup 111 a copper preserv
ing pan on a fir**) (best made ol charcoal,)
and let it boil slowly, being very particu
lar to skiff l it carefully, and when it is
boiledV n t° a thick syrup, beat up the white
oegg into a froth, and add it, strain
ing it well—then boil for an hour on a brisk
fire, removing the scum which the egg will
bring to the surface. When no more
skimming is necessary, remove the pan
from the fire arid let your syrup cool.—
Then strain the syrup through a flannel.
Then pour a sufficient quantity on your
fruit, (which you have previously prepar
ed by peeling and removing the stones,)
and let it remain so for twenty-four hours,
then boil for one hour, or if the fruit is
green, for one an a half hours, when you
must again allow it to cool, and then if ne
cessary add more syrup. To finish, place
it on a slow fire and boil for one hour,
carefully removing uny foreign matter
which may be thrown to the surface. By
this process you will infallibly liaVe your
preserves whole and beautifully transpar
ent, and of the most delicious flavor.

METALLIC TRUSS,
(LATEST 1 IMPROVEMENT,)
For the immediate relief and radical cure of all
or either of the following varieties of II EIIMA,
{Rupture,) to wit: Scrotal, Femoral, Inguinal,
f'entral, or Umbilical.
The Subscriber having purchased the right
and privilege of applying and using, within the
county of Wilkes, this celebrated instrument for
the radical cure and immediate relief of all per
sons ’vho are the unfortunate subjects of either of
the above mentioned diseases, embraces an ear
ly opportunity of informing such, that they can
be relieved from this distressing malady by ma
king early application. Trusses, of sizes suitable
for every variety of case, will be kept constantly
on hand and applied at a reasonable price.
The inventor of this new and valuable Truss
in his remarks on the subject says:
“Having cured extensive ruptures of eighteen
years standing, and given immediate relief, in a
considerable number of cases, in old and in young
persons, who are now eitiier entirely well, or re
lieved from all inconvenience from this distress
ing and dangerous malady ; persons thus affect
ed, who have not heretofore had an opportunity
of availing themselves of its substantial benefits,
that of immediate relief and ultimate radical cure,
will doubtless now do so.
My Patent Metallic Truss combines the ad
vantages of all other Trusses, without their in
conveniences ; and is equally applicable to the
live different varieties of Rupture enumerated,
and can be worn night and day with comfort and
convenience; and if the patient be prudent and
regards his health, effectually prevents the es
cape of the Viscera. The steel spring Truss, it
is well known, cannot be worn at night, and
consequently, a great deal of time is lost by that
circumstance. The celebrated Mr. Cooper says
in his surgical work upon the subject of the ap
plication and use of the Truss, that, “Whoever
wears a Truss, should be careful to employ it
day and. night, without intermission, so that there
may be no opportunity for the Hernia to protrude
again ; for experience has put it beyond all
doubt, that by the continual unremitted use of a
Truss, and the retention of the contents of Ihe
Hernia, the neck of the sack and the ring may
be gradually lessened in diameter, until they are
entirely closed, and a radical cure of the rup
ture effected.”—This is now the opinion of all
Surgeons of respectability, and with my Truss,
this important injunction of one and all of the
most distinguished Medical men in the world,
can be complied with.
In offering my Truss to the afflicted of Rup
ture, I do it confidently, believing, from actual
experience in my own person, and that of rv.any
others, that it is the most valuable instrument
ever presented for their use. My opinion upon
this subject is corroborated by that of all Physi
cians who have examined it, and had an oppor
tunity of knowing ui the success 1 have had in
relieving and curing ruptures ol different kinds.”
Various certilicates from Physicians of the
highest character could be produced in relation
to tli superiority of this Truss over all others yet
presented to the public ; but I forbear, and trust
that all those who are thus afflicted, will test
the value of the instrument by availing them
selves of its immediate application. It is simple,
convenient, and valuable indeed.
