ToMAToEs.-The Horticultural Soci-
ETY. of Paris recommends the following
mode of preserving tomatoes, objecting
to the boiling process, as having a ten
dency to change the quality, and some
times entirely to alter the character of the
fruit GA sufficient quantity of salt is
dissolved in spring or river water to
make it strong enough to bear an egg
select perfectly ripe tomatoes, and place
them well, and without pressing them,
in stone or glazed earthen pot which is
to be filled with the brine cover the pot
with deep plate in such manner that
is presses upon the fruit-and by this
simple process tomatoes may be preser
we'd more than a year without attention.
Before cooking them they should be soak
ed in fresh water for several hours. -

CIDER.


The orchards are bending under the
weight Of apples, and the time of making
cider is near at hand. The general pro,
/ cess is understood, but attention to two OF
three particulars may greatly increase the
value of the liquor. Why does Burling,
ton cider bring, in market, double the
price of that made elsewhere?
Use water freely in making every
thing sweet and clean before you begin
but very sparingly afterwards.
Put your apples after being gathered
for few days in dry place, exposed to
the sun.
Let your casks be perfectly sweet.
See that the straw used be clean and
bright. Throw all the rotten or rotting
apples to your pigs. Keep the several
sorts of apples separate; if ground togeth-
er the cider will not be so good.
When the liquor has undergone suffi-
cient fermentation to throw off the i'm
pure matter in it, and while it is yet
sweet, take clean cask, put into it a
bucket Of cider, set fire to clean rag
that has been dipped in brimstone-let it
burn inside the cask so as to fill it with
the fumes of the brimstone-shake the
cask well, and then fill and bung it
tight.
This mode is highly recommended to
preserve the cider sweet, while it will
Yet be pure. The crab apple should be
more extensively cultivated for cider.
Liquor, as delicious as wine, may be made
from ii.
