TURNIP. 



A celebrated writer observes, that ** the common Tom»ato 

 made into a gravy, by stewing over the fire, and used as a 

 sauce for meat, has been known to quicken the action of the 

 liver and of the bowels, better than any medicine he ever 

 made use of." He states farther, that " when afflicted with 

 inaction of the bowels, headache, a bad taste of the mouth, 

 straitness of the chest, and a dull and painful heaviness of 

 the region of the liver, the whole of these symptoms are 

 removed by Tomato sauce, and the mind, in the course of 

 some few hours, is put in perfect tune." 



To make them into catsup, use one pint of salt to one 

 peck of Tomatoes ; bruise them, and let them stand two 

 days ; then strain them diy, and boil the juice until the scum 

 ceases to rise, with two ounces of black pepper, the same 

 quantity of pimento or allspice, one ounce of ginger, one of 

 cloves, and half an ounce of mace.

This is a wholesome and useful plant, both for man and 

 beast, and highly desei-ving of cultivation. It being the last 

 esculent vegetable in our catalogue, that is raised from seed 

 sold at the various seed stores, I shall endeavour to stimulate 

 those of our yeomanry who have hitherto neglected the cul- 

 ture of this field as well as garden production, to exertirn 

 and diligence, by inserting a few extracts from a paper that 

 now lies before me.
