Ii is "A mistake. bv mo- means uncopnou tn
suppose that there is very little for the
breeder to do during the summer months in
the way of proyidinS for the wants If his
stock. 1t is true that the same unceasipg
care and watchfuness which is so Imperative
" demanded Of the farmer during the lone

indispensable; but the prudent and thought
full breeder will not forget that even at this
season, when the grass is green on every hin
side, aud the sleek coats, and rapid growth of
his animals attests the richness and abundance
of the pastures, there are important matters
which require his attention. Chief among
these we would mention the provision Of a
constant and abundant supply of salt. and
clear fresh water The Importance of provid-

ers who entirely neglect it, but it is common
mistake to feed it at irregular or too great
intervals, and without any regard to econ

The best rule for sailing animals is to keep
it constantly before them and they will then
take it in such quantities, and only in such
quantities, as their systems require; but if
deprived of it for some time. they become so
eager for it, that they may cat so much as to
injure them the first time they are literally

How Shall we Cook the Tomato.

1t is wonderful how rapidly this delicious
and wholesome vegetable has come into rene.
raj and almost universal use, but lot to be
kept the year round, like the potato, in any
form, without destroying its delcacy.
The tomato is so common now, and every
body is so familiar with the manner OF rails
ing it to perfection, and the various ways of
cooking, serving and preserving it, that you
too seldom find anything said about it in our
agricultural papers. We, however, have a
notion that there are some ways of cooking
tomatoes better than others, and that now and
then person, by force of habit, falls into
certain ways Of cooking them, and needs an
occasional reminder that these are not the
only ways in which they can be served. 4
sliced raw tomato in vinegar, with a little salt
and pepper, is not the worst of dishes. A
common stew Of tomato, with butter, salt and
pepper is probably about as common dish
as can be found, and gives you the fine rich
favor of the fruit, and is not to be neglected
/ Then you can obtain an exquisite dish by
broiling them. You can utterly spoil the
dish by putting in sugar or mixing il with
pounded crackers or crumbs of bread. You
lose all the delicious flavor of the fruit, and
have in its stead kind of sweet and almost
tasteess compound that has no character
whatever. OF course the flavor of the cook
ed dish Of tomatoes can be kept almost in it,
natural state, or can be changed, smothered
and almost destroyed, by the cunning ant OF
the cook, and it would take pages to record
how this may be done, and with what shade,
of difference in the result We do not pro-
pose to enter into the subject at large, or to
offer anything new on the subject We think.
however, there is one way of cooking the
vegetable which so far excels all others that
mention Of it should never be omitted, when.
ever the subject Of cooking this fruit is al.
luded to, and that is bdkiag Il. Select some
good, ripe, fair tomatoes and place them IN
the dish side by side till the bottom is cover
ed. Then bake them until they are well done
) When you take the dish out of the oven. yor
will fluid the tomatoes nearly covered with
the juice, almost as light colored as water
which has oozed out as they were baking
!, Take them hot from the oven to the tabl,
: when you are ready to eat them. Put one Of
them in saucer, and pour upon it, all hot
some Of the juice from the pan. Then oper
the top of the tomato with spoon and pu
in generous slice of buttcr, and pepper an,
salt il you like il. As soon as the butter i
melted, you will find you have before you botl
the substance and the juice Of the vegetable
in such state that for dolieaey and richness
, Of flavor it cannot be equalled in any Other
form it can be presented. While we are AL
ways grateful for raw tomato, or a stew, on
any other way Of serving them almost, vet
when we want to crafty the palate in tn,
