churches and erecting elegant structures for the

very fortunate. There are number of new churches

one, that of Dr. Potts, has taken the field, finished,
with its pews all prepared and fixed for sale. We

entertained about its being finished in so short a
time. The line between New York and Washing
ton will then be complete when both these lines are
finished. Preparations are in progress to carry out
the project so as to unite Buffalo and New York, and
New York and Boston. All these lines of commu
nication will probably be completed before year
is over The effect of the establishment of magne-
tic felegraphs between the great points of civliza-
ton and business cannot be calculated at this early
day.
VIOLATIONS OF Cry ORDNANcEs.-It will be per-
ceived by reference to the Police Intelligence of
to-day, that no less than 1872 complaints were last
week preferred before the Chief of Police for viola
tons of city ordinances. The new Star Police are
gradually correcting many of the abuses which have
been SO long permitted to exist. After the ranks
shall have been thoroughly cleared OF all black
sheep which have unavoidably crept In, and the
faithful officers shall have had little more expert
ence in the business Of catching thieves, there is
reason to believe that far less crime will be perpe
trated in the city than has been the case for severa
years past.

TO COOK TOMATOES

He that does not love tomatoes is an object of
pity Every ar. of cooking should be employed to
inveigle the appetite Of every man to love veget-
able so wholesome.
Peel dozen ripe tomatoes and fry them in lit
tie sweet butter (which nine Hoosers out of ten
will understand TO mean little clean lard) togeth-
err with two or three sliced green peppers sprinkle
OH little salt; and finally slice up an onion or two,
and let the whole cook thoroughly. This is the
Spanish method of preparing them.
Another method, which from long experience,
we know will wear well, is as follows. The dtrec-
tons are for mess Of tomatoes amounting to about
three pints when cooked
Begin by parbong two onions. While this ia
doing, peel the tomatoes, which is easily done af.
ter hot water has been poured over them; cut them
up and add the onions, also ateacupfull and half
of bread crumbed fne table spoonful of salt
heaping teaspoonful of black pepper, lump of
butter OF the size of turkeys egg, or about four
table spoonsful. Beat these thoroughly together
and set them over slow fire gradually to stew
They should cook slowly and for a long time new
err less than three hours, but the longer the better,
About fifteen minutes before they are to be used
bent up six eggs and stir them in, and put them on
fresh Goals and give them one grand boil up, stir
ring them all the time When so cooked no direc-
tons will be necessary how to eat them.
The art Of cooking the tomato lies mostly in
cooking them enough They should be put to
work the first thing after the breakfast things are
out of the way, even if you do not dine till three.

MANURES.

These are first among the first of requisites
in successful farm management. They are the
strong moving power in agricultural operations
They are as the great steam engine which drives
The vessel onward Good and clean cultivation is,
indeed all important; but it will avail little with
out fertile sol and this fertility must be created,
or kept up, by copious application of manures.-
For these contribute directly, assist indirectly
to the supply of nearly all the nourishment which
plants receives it is these, which, produced chiefly
from the decay of dead vegetable and animal mat
ter combine most powerfully to give new life and
vigor; and thus the apparently putrid mass, is the
very material which is converted into the most
beautiful forms Of nature; and plants and brilliant
flowers spring up from the decay of old forms, and
thus a continued succession of destruction and rem
ovation is carried on through an unlimited success
sion of ages.
Manures possess different degrees of power,
partly from their inherent richness, and partly from
the rapidly with which they throw of their fertil-
zing Ingredients in assisting the growth of plants.
These are given off by solution IN water and in
the form of gas; the one as liquid manure, which
running down, is absorbed by the fine roots; and
the other as air, escaping mostly into the atnos-
phere, and lost.
The great art then, of saving and manufacturing
manure, consists in retaining ana applying TO the
best advantage, these soluble and gaseous portions
Probably more than one half of all the materials
which exist in the country are lost, totally lost by
NOT attending to the drainage of stables and farm
wards This could be retained by copious appli-
cation of straw; by littering with saw dust where
saw-mills are near and more especially by the
frequent coating of yards and stables with dried
peat and smamp muck, of which many parts of our
State furnish inexhausibe supplies. | say dried
peat or muck, because if it is already saturated with
water, of which it will often take IN fve-sxths its
own weight, it cannot absorb the liquid portions of
the manure. But if it will absorb ive-sixths Of
water, it will when dried absorb ve-sixths of liquid
manure, and both together form very rich mate

From the Albany Cultivation.
FARMING IN VERMONT.

AhhlNG I'm V EhMON L.
In the month of May last, we had the pleasure
of making an excursion 20 the "Green Mountain
State"
To one who, like the writer has been for several
years accustomed mostly to the comparatively lev
ell surface of portion of the " great valley" of the
west, the physical features of Vermont are striking
and impressive The different geological charac-
ter Of the two sections forms wide contrast in
their surface and aspect-the primitive region we
have lately visited being, to the traveller capable
of approaching the attractions of nature much the
most interesting. There is, it is true, beauty of
surface TO be met with in the west-the "rolhnop
prairie, the shady Openings" and in other sec
tons the dark primeva forests, are certainly beau
tlul; but the scenery seldom, if ever, rises to the
grand and sublime. In the west, the elevated por-
tons OF the surface have but little variety; what
are called hills appearing to have been formed by
gulleys having been washed by rains from n sur
face originally uniform, leaving the tops of the hills
on general level Here, the upheavings of the
earth have given TO its surface almost endless
variation, elevations OF different attitudes from the
green NIL whose grassy sides, even in the most
sutry heats OF summer are freshened by the ever
gushing fountain, to the hoary mountain whose
lofty summit arrests the career of the storm-cloud
The natural circumstances of Vermont mark it
particularly as n grazing region. Its mountainous
surface is unfavoable to the extensive use of the
pillow and the large cultivation of grain crops while
the richness and permanency of it's pastures the
abundance OF pure water, and the healthfulness of
the atmosphere, show its admirable adaptness to
the rearing Of horses, cattle, and sheep. The ad-
