in another way. When the corn is in proper state for 
boiling, the outer husks are stripped from the ear, leav¬ 
ing on the inside layer. The ears are packed in strong 
brine in a tight barrel. When wanted, the husk is taken 
off*, the corn cut off and soaked in fresh water for twen¬ 
ty-four to thirty-six hours, or until the salt is entirely 
extracted. It is then boiled in the same manner as 
ordinary corn. 
Hussey’s Reaping Machine. 
Editors of the Cultivator.—As the inventor of 
what is known as Hussey’s Mowing and Reaping Machine, 
I am not willing to be held responsible for the operation 
of such machines as are not built by myself, at my ma¬ 
nufactory in Baltimore. If those persons in other parts 
of the country, who are building by permission, and 
those who are infringing on my rights, do not keep up 
with my improvements, it is unjust that their machines 
should be allowed to give a character to my own. You 
will therefore please admit into your advertising columns 
the experience of those who have used my Baltimore 
made machines, and oblige yours, Obed Hussey. Bal¬ 
timore, Md., March 10, 1851. 
Wool Market, April 12, 1851. 
The stock of wool, both fleece and pulled, is light. Very little can 
be said about prices, as they depend much upon the necessities of the 
purchaser. It may be observed, however, that though the stock on 
hand is small, prices have somewhat receded; the manufacturers of 
some styles of goods, preferring to work short time, or stop altogeth¬ 
er, (after working up their stocks on hand,) rather than pay the high 
prices of January and February last. Some of them finding that 
they could realize a greater profit by selling their wool than by work¬ 
ing it, have adopted that course. Wool of the ensuing clip is being 
contracted for in some of the Western States, particularly in Ohio, at 
highes rates than the prices in the eastern markets, even now, will 
warrant.

T HE subscribers will continue to receive and seel Wool on Com¬ 
mission. From long experience, an extensive acquaintance with 
manufacturers, close application, and increased facilities tor transact¬ 
ing business, they hope to give satisfaction to those who may favor 
them with consignments. 
All who desire it can have their clips kept separate. 
Sales will be made invariably for Cash. 
The charges for receiving, sorting and selling will be one and a 
half cents per pound, and insurance, which will be at the rale of 
25 cents on $100 worth of Wool for each term of three months or un¬ 
der. 
It will be observed by our terms for selling, See., that we we have 
returned to the price charged the first year this enterprize was es¬ 
tablished. The experience of the past two years has fully proved 
that the proprietors cannot be adequately compensated for their labor 
and expenses, at the rate recently charged; consequently they have 
advanced the commission for selling to tiie price above mentioned.

Patent Fan Mills and Grain Cradles. 
’WJ E continue to manufacture these Celebrated Mills and Cradles. 
VV Our Mills have been awarded seven First Premiums at the 
New-York State Fairs—three Silver Medals at the great American 
Institute in New-York—also at the State Fairs of Pennsylvania, Ma¬ 
ryland, Michigan and Ohio, and at a large number of County Fairs. 
They have never been awarded the second premium—always the 
first, and they stand without a rival. We feel confident in recom¬ 
mending them as the best in market. 
Our CRADLES have taken the First Premiums at two New-York 
State Fai s. We have made valuable improvements on them the last 
year, for which we have letters patent. They can be taken apart and 
packed in boxes, and put together again, with very little trouble, by 
almost any one. 
Orders solicited from, and work sent to any part of the United

their day and failed, the Anti-Pyric Paint alone will maintain its 
reputation as a perfect protection against the weather, falling sparks

perishable by age! Thousands have used it for the last three years 
without a single failure.
