ceipes that have come under our observation:
Daily use Of the Tomato. Cut up with salt,
vinegar and pepper, as you do Cucumbers, land
eat away as fast as you can.
Hoi1 10 Steu Tomatoes Take your tomato
from the vine, ripe; stew them slow, and when
done put in the pot over the fire withoutwater;
stew them slow, and when done put in a small
lump of butter, and eat as you do apple sauce.
If you choose, little crumb of bread or pull
verified crackers may be added. What you
have left, put away in a jar for winter.
Tomato Omele. When stewed, beat up a
half dozen new laid eggs, the yolk and white
separate;when each are well beaten, mix them
with the tomato-put them in pan and beat
them up; you have fine omelet.
To keep them the year round. Take them
full ripe, and scald in hot water, to facilitate
the operation of taking off the skin; when
skinned, boil well in little sugar and salt,
but no water, and then spread in cakes about
an inch thick, in the sun. They will dry e.
nough in three or four days to pack away in
bags, which should hang in dry room.
Hon. to pickle Tomatoes Pick them when
they are ripe. Put them in layers in jar,
with garlicks, mustard seed, horse radish, spi-
ces, &c. as you like, filling up the jar; occas-
ionally putting little fine salt, proportionally
to the quantity laid down, and which is inten.
ded to preserve the tomato. When the jar is
full, pour on the tomatoes cold cider vinegar
lit must be pure) till all is covered, and then
cork up tight and set away for winter.
To make Tomato Preserves. Take them
while quite small and green-put them in cold
clarified syrup, with an orange cut in slices to
every two pounds oftomatoes. Simmer them
over slow fire for two or three hours. There
should be equal weights sugar and tomatoes.
If very superior preserves are wanted, allow
two fresh lemons to three pounds of tomatoes
pare thin the rind Of the lemons, so as to
get none of the white part; squeeze out the
Juice, mix the parings, juice and cold water
sufficient to cover the tomatoes. and put in a
few peach leaves and powdered ginger tied up
in bags. Boil the whole gently for three
fourths of an hour, take up the tomatoes, strain
the liquor, and put with it pound and half
of white sugar for each pound of tomatoes
Put in the tomatoes and boil them gently till
the syrup appears to have entered them. In
the course of a week, turn the syrup from
them, heat it scalding hot, and turn it on to
the tomatoes. Prepared in this way, they re-
semble West India sweetmeatS.

HOW CAN TOMATOES BE PRE-
SERVED

Mr., SNow-Among the many valuable d.
rcctiuns you have provided for your readers, |
do not observe any as TO the best mode of put
ting up and preserving Tomatoes for winters
use. This is vegetable that, for both health
and taste, has recently become favorite dish
here. So far as know, very little care has
been taken in this section to preserve them
Indeed, so little attention has been given to
their preservation, that many think they can
have them no longer than during the season
of their growth. They are easily raised, pro-
ducc abundantly, and, after a little use, all
declare them to be rich treat. Their pres
cnce upon the table at any, or even with all
meals of the day, is quite acceptable.
notice from you at this time, as to the
best mode of putting them up for winter, would
be of service TO at least one of your readers
