ABOUT TOMATOES healthy
vegetable is now used in almost every
conceivable shape as food, and for a
relish, and among the last, is to stew
green tomatoes. This is done by par
ing half dozen and slicing them
down then add little salt and tea
spoonful of sugar, and stew them un-
til they are completely cooked. The
Juice of the tomato is sufficient, with
out the use of any water for stewing.
Season 10 the taste. We speak from
the record, having used them during
the last ten days, and find them
as palatable to our taste as ripe ones.
RIcE.-One Of the best articles of
diet, at this season Of the year, aud a
good one at all seasons, is rice. If
people would eat plenty of well-cook-
ed rice they would have fewer distur-
Dances of the digestive apparatus.-
Rice is both a preventive and cure of
"boWel complaints" The Southern
crop of this excellent grain will this
year reach sc, 900 barrels against $4,000
last year.

We wish to call the particular attention Of
Farmers to our celebrated STAR THRESHER
AND CLEANER which, as lately improved, we
claim it far superior to any other machine now in
market. It is compact and easily portable: sim
pie in its construction, and therefore easy to op
crate by the most inexperienced, and will do its
work with marvellous rapidity and perfection,
and with comparatively the least demand upon
the strength Of the animals driving it,
We have made recent improvements IN this ma
chine by which we are enabled to thoroughly
clean the grain under almost any combination Of
difficulties, and we are now using entirely new
and effective device for relieving the feeder Of
dust, thus making the operation of threshing
comfortable and safe as with the ordinary
chimes it is annoying and frequently destructive
of health.
These Machines are made of suitable sizes for
our Star Railway Horse Power and for our
