TURNIP. 
A celebrated writer observes, that < ‘ the common Tomato 
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 dry, 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 deserving 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 exertion 
and diligence, by inserting a few extracts from a paper that 
now lies before me.
