GREEN TOMATO PICKLES." e. T. ID. y
wishes to know how to make green tomato
pickles keep through the winter.
The following is number one recipe,
and 1 think will not fail to give satisfac
ton. 1t is good plan to make these
pickles after the first frost, when you will
find many of the green tomatoes unin-
jured, in consequence of having been pro-
tected by the leaves and vines. If tomato
plants are pulled up by the roots before
frost comes, and hung over poles in an
airy place in the cellar, they will continue
to ripen for long time.
Take one peck of green tomatoes, and
one dozen of white onions; slice all thin
and sprinkle with salt, Lei them stand
over night, then drain we'll III a colander
and add the following spices: One box of
mustard; one ounce and half of black
pepper (ground) one ounce Of whole
cloves one ounce of yellow mustard seed,
and one ounce of allspice. Put in your
kettle q layer of spices and tomatoes alter
nately; cover with best cider vinegar, and
let all boil together for twenty minutes.
These pickles are ready for use immedi-

Preserving Sweet Potatoes,

DELAWARE, IND, Sept. Z, 1871.-As
there is large crop of sweet potatoes this
year, and if the same is rushed into mark
ct at digging time, they will bring but a
small price, submit plan for keeping
them which has been completely success
full in my case for the last six years
Dig your potatoes in the forenoon, by
turning them out of the hill or ridge with
a spade, and not touching them with the
hands. 1t should be remembered that they
should be dug before there is frost to kill
the vines. A little frost, which merely
nips the leaves, will, however, do no harm.
After they are turned out of the ground,
let them remain in the sun until evening,
when they should be carefully separated
from the vines and taken to the storing
room.
In handling them, take them up and lay
taem down carefully, as dropping them on
each other, or on the floor, will cause dry
rot. But clean cut does no harm. They
must be stored as soon as they come from
the field, and not allowed tOlay around un-
til some of them commence to rot; IS they
will then all rot before spring. ..--....-~
The boxes for storing should be long and
not very wide and deep (holding about
three or four bushels), and should be set
up foot or so from the floor Of the stor-
ing-rOom, and sufficiently out from the
wall so as to allow air to pass under and
around them.
The free circulation of warm air all
around them is very necessary to carry off
the moisture that the potatoes are con-
stautly throwing off. They should be pack
ed in dust collected from the road or street
when the weather is dry. First throw in
a layer of dust, then put in a bushel or so
of potatoes then throw over these enough
dust to fill all the spaces between them and
quite cover them up; then another layer
of potatoes, and so on until your box is
filled

REHABILITATION :
An ilnatration of the old adare aRiohas

An illustration of the old adage, "Riehes
have wings" is seen in the above, but in
their fight from other localities we are the
gamers, for many of them have seen ft to
take up their abode with US, and prosperity
has followed their removal. Our largest
manufacturers, the firms engaged in the
manufacture of piows and eultivators, are
represented by a capital of 5000, 600; their
annual sales amount to q round million and
8 half dollars. Of wagons there are nearly
100000 worth sold annually; the lumber
and flour mills sell nearly $l,400, 600 worth
3 year; the iron works and miscellaneous es-
Adjustments sell nearly as much more, thus
making the total annual sales amount to a
considerable amount over t0ar million and
a half dollars; while the capital invested in
manufactures amount to orer tac0 million
and a hall dollars; employment is given to
orcr too thousand hands, who are paid an
a. gregate sun Of one million and a hal II
dotGrS. While We have e~ndeRvored to give
8 complete list of our manufacturer, and the
magnitude OF their business, We have neces.
sar1!y confined ourselves to the more impor.
tant; there are numerous smaller but paying
establishments which would swell the totals
to CORES P0ndiEgly high figures.

9val of Chicago Houses in the same line Of
business. All Messrs. Darts goods are
shipped direct from New York and soid at
Chicago prices, which IS an important &C
comodAtaon to the west. Few people have
any idea Of the heavy trade done By this
leading house. By virtue of indomitable
energy and application it has been built up
ap from q very small beginning. The wore.
house adjoins Darts Hall, and is three
stories high with basement; with q depth Of
one hundred and forty feet, and is literally
full Of goods. Forsy-eight feet of the FIRST
floor are used for Offices, occupied by the
Book keeper, Cashier, Bill Clerks, and the
private desks Of the partners. Immediate

Room and desks of the shipping end re-
eeiving clerks. The basement is used for
siering Syrups, Fish, Rope and Cordage, and
other heavy goods. The rear of the first

cushion oy the government, BY purchase,
under the following stipulasions the gov.
ernment to improve the power to its own
liking, and give the Moline Water Power
Company a perpetual grant of one-fourth Of
the power developed, together with a right
to rent additional power at the rate of soc
per annum per square inch. Thus arranged
Tor, both powers were combined and greatly
enlarged and improved, A wing dam runs
up the river for a full mile from the outer
limit of the Sears power, throwing an i'm
mense body of water from the main chan
into the new dam which crosses from
the island TO the Moline shore. The water
pool contains an average width of 500 feet
deep, making an aggregate of SO, 500, 900
feet Of water, Counting from the

Michigan, Illinois and Aississippi
@ Canal.

In the constitutional convention Of the
State of ILLINOIS, l669-'70, held at Spring
6eld, the following preamble and resolution
were read by the Secretary and referred to
the committee on Internal Improvement.
Whereas q law was passed, approved Feb
rusry 18th, 1867, for extending the Illinois
and Michigan Canal westward to the Mis-
sissippi, near Rock Island, and for the i'm
provement Of the Illinois and other rivers /:
and Whereas, at the last session of the
Legislature an appropriation of four nun
dred thousand dollars was made for com.
nencing the work, which sum is now being
expended in the building Of a lock and dam
On the Illinois River, near the city of Henry,
and thirty-ive thousand dollars for the in
provement Of the Little Wabash, which sum
hes been expended in completing a lock
aud dam on that river, near New Haven :;
therefore, Resolced, that the said canal and
the naVIgable waters of the State shall
never be ceded, cold or leased TO any ind
VIdUsl or cooperation, but forever remain the
property OF the people, to be used in their
interest and improved as may be found ex-
pedlent. At the present moment, however,
the canal may be SAID to be a. a standstiIi
for want OF public interest in it. 1t com
mences at the Illinois River opposite Hen
nepin, and passes one mile north of lis
kilws, three miles north of Sheffield, where
It JOINS the feeder from Dixon one and a
third miles north of Mineral, one mile north
OF Anaan, half a mile north of Atkinson.
two miles north of Gsueseo, passing CoIons
on ths north and joining the Mississippi at
Wasertown, q total distance of sixty five
niles. From the Illinois River to Sheffield
is q rise of two hundred and seventy feet.
requiring nine locks. The total cost viii be
between So, 000, 700 and $3.50 0 900. II
IS a pity that the canal is not being pushed
forward with more ~alacrity as it would be 8
most important benefit to the nation, The
canal once completed. war vessels and
ships OF all kinds can pass direct from the
Mississippi to the lakes. We trust that the
government. and the cities and counties to
De benefited, will make such arrangement
that the work can shortly be proceeded With
