mail facilities between the two cOuat.es rendered
il necessary to send the additions made to the
line to New York, thus making it in fact double
line all this too, in face Of the competition with
the steamers Of the Collins, the Glasgow, the
Bremen the Havre, and the Antwerp lines. The
truth is that New York is now recognised to be
the great commercial centre of the New World,
and no enterprise of this kind which attempts to
ignore The fact will ever pay These changes
will convert Boston and Philadelphia into mere
dependencies of and tributaries to New York of
scarcely greater importance in q commercial
sense than any of our interior cities.

How to Preserve strawberries.

Select the largest and handsomest
berries, weigh them and spread on
platters. For each pound of fruit,
allow a pound of white powdered su-
gar. Sprinkle half this amount over
the berries, and let them stand sever
al hours in a cool place, to harden and
to form liquor. Put them in a por-
celain lined kettle, and by degrees
strew on the rest of the sugar. Boil
them slowly fifteen minutes, skimming
thoroughly, then take them from the
syrup, and spread again on platters,
to cool and harden into shape. Then
put them into wide-mouthed glass
bottles, pour the syrup on boiling hot,
and seal the jars.

ROSE BUDs.-Perpetual or month

to have them bloom freely during the

blossoming of flowers wcakens the
plants, and often, unless in very rich

about September. During the sum-

watched, and as soon as a bloom has
perfected it should be cut off. In cut

To Prevent smut in Wheat.

Wash the wheat thoroughly till the
water becomes clear--or in other
words, till it will no longer dirty
the water; then take blue vitriol, an
ounce for every bushel of wheat you
have washed, and dissolve it in hot
water and pour it into the tub, cask,
or whatever your wheat is in, as the
wheat must be covered with clear wa
ter at the time, and let it soak in this
vitriol water for not less than six or
more than twelve hours. This pro-
cess should be carried through in the
morning, and at night drain ofthe
water, and the wheat will be fit to
SOW the next morning. 1t will be ne
cessary to stir the wheat occasionally
with a shovel while it is soaking in
the vitriol water, as it tends to scour
it and make it look bright. If this is
done thoroughly, it will be a perma-
nent cure for smut, either in spring or
fall wheat.
