■quarters of a pound of sugar to every pound of fruit ; 
crush them together to a smooth mass ; then put it in a 
preserving kettle over a gentle fire ; stir it with a wood- 
en or silver spoon until it is jelly-like and thick ,• let it 
do slowly for some time, then try some on a plate; if, 
when cold, it is like jelly, it is enough. Put it in small 
jars or tumblers, and secure as directed. Currant-juice, 
with a pound of sugar to a pint, to four or five pounds 
strawberries, and the required quantity of sugar, makes 
the jam very nice. Half a pound of sugar for each 
pound of fruit will make very fine jam, or marmalade, 
which is the same, cooked until it is very thick, and re- 
duced ; take care that it does not burn. 
TO PRESERVE STRAW'BERRIES WHOLE. 
Another excellent wmy is to make the syrup boiling 
hot; and having picked fine, large strawberries free 
from hulls (or, if preferred, leave them and half an inch 
of the stem on.) pour it over them ; let it remain until 
the next day, then drain it off, and boil again; return it 
hot to the fruit; let them remain for another night; 
then put them into the kettle, and boil gently for half an 
hour; cut one in two ; if it is done through, take them 
from the syrup with a skimmer, and spread them on flat 
dishes to cool ; boil the syrup until thick and rich; then 
put the fruit into glass jars ; let the syrup cool and settle ; 
then pour it carefully off from the sediment over the 
fruit. 
STRAWBERRIES STEWED FOR TARTS. 
Make a syrup of one pound of sugar and a teacup of 
water; add a little white of eggs ; let it boil, and skim 
■it until only a foam rises ; then put in a quart of berries, 
free from stems and hull; let them boil till they look 
clear, and the syrup is quite thick. Finish as directed 
for tarts, wdth tine puff paste. 
Soap, White Lead and Oil. — Mr. Editor — It is not so 
generally known as it should be, that a mixture of the 
above named ingredients makes an excellent coating for 
gates, fences and out-buildings. The addition of the 
soap (soft soap only is to be used) considerably diminish- 
es the expense of the paint, without, in any degree, lessen- 
ing its durability, or the facility of laying it on. 
I have a house, the north-west side of which was paint- 
-ed with this mixture nineteen years ago, and the paint is 
now much more brilliant than that put upon the other 
sides at the same time, though the latter was of the best 
quality of white lead and oil, and four heavy coats ap- 
plied, while the soap paint I applied but two. Fences 
painted with this mixture, as well as the roofs of build- 
ings, for which purpose any coloring matter, or pigment 
may be substituted for the lead, endure much longer, it 
is ascertained, than those painted with pure oil paint. 
The alkalescent qualities of the compound render them 
impervious to the atmospheric influences which are the 
chief causes of decay and rot. The quantity of soap to be 
used can be best ascertained by experience ; on this point 
no definite rules can be prescribed . — New England Famv-

French Rolls for Breakfast. — 1 pint of flour, whites 
■of 3 eggs, table- spoonful of butter, 2 large spoonfuls of 
fresh yeast ; milk enough to make it stiff dough. Let it 
rise over night. 
Cure for Founder. — A correspondent of the Ohio 
Cultivator says of a mare he had badly foundered ; 
“I took her to the well, and bathed her legs and shoul- 
ders well in cold water. I then had her bled in the mouth 
by sticking a sharp knife in the third rib of the roof. She 
bled pretty freely, swallowing most of the blood, for about 
one hour. J never saw a stiffer animal attempt to walk. 
I turned her out again, and the next day she was as well 
-as ever, with no signs of the founder. If the horse is 
likely to bleed too much, give him some flour or wheat 
bran to lick.”

• Augusta, Ga., April 3, 1 855, 
I have been running one of Scott's Little Oi'int Corn and Coh 
JVb. 4, for the last five weeks, and it performs to ray entire 
swtisfaction It wa^ warranted to grind 20 bushels per hour, but I 
have ground over 35 bushels in an hour and a half, or equal to 23>^ 
bushels per hour. In feeding 80 horses, I save at least loO bushels of 
Corn per momh, it n' w requiring only 200 bushels of Corn with the 
cob, where I formerly fed 8()0. I consider it decidedly the best kind 
of Crusher ever got up, and if I could not replace mine I would not 
sell it for $500. I. D MATHEWS,
