TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Kephart's Patent Fruit' and Veeetable Pt eserver. fleat, air, and moisture are the three agents of decomposition. By excluding these, the most delicate fruits, vegetabics, &c. can be preserved with all their original qualities and freshness for any desirable p-r'od. - These three destructive agents can he almost entirely excluded in the Preserver, or sufficiently so to preserve, as long as desired. all the most palatable fruits and vegetables of our land. It is applicable to the preservation of al most every thing of a perishable nature. All descriptions of roots, such as the sweet and Irish potato, turnips. beets, carrots. onions, &c. can be preserved twelve months, retaining all their qualities and freshness as when first taken from the soil; their vegetating power being totally suspended by the low temperature of the apartment in which they are kept. We may add to these the fruits of the orchard, embracing the finest and most delicate verietics of apples and pears, wnich, if placed in the Preserver soon after being plucked from the tree, can be had at all seasons with lI their excellen ces remaining. To these twny be added the productions of foreign orchards, viz: oranges and lemotis, which rank high among the list of luxuries. and which often perish io large quantities during the mildness of spring and heat of summer. Another itt:n of consideratiotn is dried fruits, as dried apples and peaches, raisins, figs. prunes &t. all of which, if kept in thi" Preserver. wall rerain their brighitiess and freshness without any loss in weight or bulk. and free from the depredations of insects. Anothct item of no small inpor lance. is bacon, which, if put in imnedi ately after smoking, will, by the action of the cold, become firm and solid, retaining nil the brightness and sweetness of new bacon and free from the injuries of insects which immediately become torpid. Other. articles of magnitude might be - enumerated, such as prevent the fermenta tion of sweet cider, preservation of butter, lard. eggs, &c. A very important advantago of this method, over all other modes of preserving fruits, &c., arises from the fact, that fruits, vegetables, &c. may be placed in the Pre server as soon as taken from the tree or earth, thereby subjecting these articles at once, to a degree of cold and dryness, which immediately arrest the ripening or mellowing process, (w hich chemists de note as the saccharine fermentation, and almost totolly checked by a low tumpera. ture.) and enabling the fruit when taken out in the spring or summer, to be trans ported-or shipped with as little risk as when-first taken from the orchard ; it hav ing vet to undergo the ripening or mellow. ing.process before the rotting follows. The usual plan of leaving fruits, &c. exposed to the mild climate of the fall, and .to the.warmth and dampness of the earth in winter, when buried, so mellows and-ripensit, that t hen removed from the b or cellar, at the close of the season, ihes imnedately. This, however, wol notbe,tbe' result if the ripening process hadibeeta suspended; the fruit having to undergo.that process when again exposed to the heat of spring and summer, before finally perishing. The niformity and coldness of the temperature, provenots evaporation from fruits, roots, &c. the consequence of which i,s'those articles retain all their juices as wIken first put in. So also with driedl fruits, bacon, &c. which will not diminish either in bulk or weight. Ia the construction of a Preserver there are no limits to its dimensions, one of one hunt'red thcitsand bushels operates as per. fectly,-as one containing but one hundred buishels The same tmay be said of its depth, thirty feet in depth acts similar to one of but half the depth ; such is the tendency of the cold air, in contact with the ice floor. 'to fall to the bottom, attd the wvarm to arise, that half a degree difer ence in temperaturte does not exist bet we'en the top and botto-n. All that is r qttired is to put the articles into barrels or ttox's, place thtem in the Preserver on top of e-acht other with a space of one intch between each tiqr of boxes, extending from top to hot t'im, through whicht space the cold air will dlesenid, keeping the wihole mass of fruti', &c. at a temperature sullicienitly cold toi arrest decomposition. The Preserver is nout only adapted to all countries ni here ice attd fruit are alternate ly produced, btut in the present age, catn lie used to great advantage at all southernt points, where ice has now become ant arti clat of commterce. Ice is sellom shipped to anty of the southern ports, in smaller cargoes than from one hundred to four hundred tons each. Some building must be provided to receive this; for which the . ce apartment, ini connection with tho Preserver, woutld lie most appropriatte; thIts alue it~ a dloutble purpoese, thait of settling the ice at theo tolp, while o: the, same time, preser.vitng the fruit, &c. below. It will be found upon examitnation, thtat this plant appears to lbe the only otne, by which fru,it, &c. cab be kept during all seasons of the year at thte samte uniform temperature, and as coldi as dare be desired, and without anty danger of freezinig. Boxes and barrels of fruit may be placed over the surface of ice ini an ordinary ice house, but the consequence will be, that all the heat of spring, summer and autumn, must first pass through those barrels and boxes, before it can reach the ice below to. be takrea up. In addition to this, fruit in that position will become frozen so soon as frost makes its appearance ; the strata of ice below, and the action of the frost with out, sootn ruining all, Other arguments. if reqtrired, might be advanced to prove that the hecr.in de scribed Fruit andt Vegetable Preserver, is the only meatns to accomplish the purpose designed, ntnd furnish td mankinid, at all seasons, the richest and rarest varieties of fruits and vegetable. Th'e success of this invention is based upon the following philosophical and chemical truths, and to -which tho attent tiot,-of. all professing a knowledge of those sciences are invited. Does not cold air descend and warm air I ascend ? if so (after almost totally ex and sides of the Preserver by the use of saw-dust, charcoal, &c.) must not the whole interior or fruit rbom' remain at or near the temperature of toe fl.or on which the ice rests. Does not fruit, after being pickrd from the tree, undergo the saccha rine fermentation, or what is known as the mellowing or ripening process, after which is it not often followed by one or more of the other fermentations ? viz: vinous, acetous and putrefactive fermentation, which completes the rotting process? Ir so. does not a temperature of 33deg. or34 deg. almost totally arrest all these fermen tations? Does not a temperature of 34 'deg. suspend the vegetating power of all vegetables, such as roots, &c.? If these are answered in the aflirmative, it is evi (lent that the Preserver will accomplish all that it is designed to accomplish. We would say, i. conclusion, that the public may satisfy themselves of the facts contained in this sheet, we invite them to call upon D. M. Frazier. St. Louis, Mo., B Darby, Philadelphia. Pa., P. Kephart, altimore, Md., or T. B. Gug & Co. Charleston, S. C., at either of which places, they will be shown a Preserver iu opera'inon. All communications will receive prompt attention if addressed to P. KEPHA RT, Baltimore, Md. Colton Raising and Spinning Con trasted.-The great necessity for a change in our industrial pursuit, is becoming every day more al more evident. Where it once was ex ernely profitable to grow this staple, planters now come near starving in persisting in its culture. A correspondent of the Alabama Planter, says : Cotton raising is ra'ther an uncertain atnd uitprofitahle ca!ling It is a little like gold digging, delusive : yet I do not know what else to engage in, unless I build a factory. I have water power near at hand sufficient to drive one or two thou sands spindles. From what I can learn. manufacturing cotton is far more profitable than raising it. In fact, if a house with which I have correspondence, makes cor rect statement, a factory costing 15 to 20.000 dollars would pay fur itself in twelve or eighteen months. If you can send me a partner with funds, I should be tempted to try the expnriment. Low Price of Rail Road Iron.-The Boston Traveller says, that contracts for Rail Road Iron, delivered in Boston, duty and all charges-paid, can be made in Eng land at $20 per ton. If our up country Rail Roads can purchase their Iroo before a rise takes place, the enterprizes will be safe. The northern manufacturers of Rail Road Iron, say that no sum short of $70 per ton will pay the manufuctuter in this country. and many declare that $75 will leave but little profits. From the Baltimore Sun. LocKJA.-l have noticed lately se veral deaths by lockjaw, and for the in formation of all I will give a certain remudy. When any one runs a nail or any'sharp iron in ap heir frame, taki a comm ith iobacco,i cloth or silk han it' over the bowl of the pike. an' ow the smoke through the stem into the. wound-hold the stem close, to carry the hot smoke into the wvound. Two or three pipes full will be suflicient to set the wound dis. charging. I have tried ij on myself and five others, and found it to give imme diate relief. If the wvoundl has been of some days' standing it will opent it again, if the tobacco is good. Trny it, any one wvho may chancc to get such a wvonnd. W.
