WaGMO tTLTORAL. 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. Alb. Cult. 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. Western Farmer.

Price’s 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. JAMES W. PRICE, n. v. Washington, Dec. 10, 1840. 15—2 t • _ ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE.
