best materials from the Press—and on it, the success of private and personal per suasion greatly depends; for from this source is drawn the cheering news of the: rapid progress of the cause, which so pow erfully excites the sympathies of men. The Press, too, derives much power from the constitution of the human mind : it can with difficulty resist the influence of truth constantly kept under its con templation. If any one can be induced, weekly, to read, or hear of the advanta ges of temperance, he will, from this cir cumstance, soon become its practical; friend. In fact, from this cause, the Press is almost omnipotent! Happy would it be; for the world, if it was always devoted to the promulgation, advocacy and defence of the truth! We once knew a man] who came near changing his politics, from being limited in his reading for some time, to the columns of an ably con ducted opposition journal. Such is the| power of the Press. So strong is our confidence in its power, that we are in clined to think a rum-seller would quit his awful and horrid traffic, which could be induced weekly to read the Wash ingtonian. The “line upon line”—“pre cept upon precept” system of the Bible, is perfectly irresistible to those who will hear or read, and arc not totally lost to every moral principle. Be up and doin<| Jhen, you young and ardent friends of country and virtue. — Be not satisfied until even our retailers; of poison and death are patrons of the! Washingtonian ; and, least their papers may get under the counter, and so not meet the e'yfcsfof their customers, be not satisfied until every frequenter of a grog shop is also a reader of the Washing tonian. One word more, and we are done.— The contributions of the Temperance So ciety ought to be so liberal as to enable it to furnish the poor with a periodical for constant perusal. Let the rich, there lore, be liberal : timir safety—their en joyment of their wealth depends upon the good order and virtue of the people ; and nothing but temperance can lead to virtue and order. Let all go to the Treasurer and make their contributions. We fear the plan of calling upon those assembled at our meetings will operate unequally, and obtain ail the support of the cause from the few, and, the truth to tell, from the poor. IL DO>l feSTIC DEPARTMKNT. u : a. . > ___ _____ ! Tomatds. The season for this delicious fruit hav ing arrived, we iiave determined to pre-i sent our readers with all the information 1 we possess relative to its cultivation or 1 use. There are four varieties: the large or squash, the cherry or plum, the egg and the golden drop, or yellow. The plum and egg are the best, being firmer, more prolific and better flavored. In the South, they' grow spontaneously from the seeds which fail the preceding year ; but they may be greatly improved by proper cul ture : so, they can be forced either in the hot house or in boxes to mature three or four weeks earlier than in the open air,| but you lose more in flavour than is gain ed in time. The tornata produces most abundantly when planted in tolerably poor soil, forced with a compost consist ing ot one-fifth lime and four-fifths hen or pigion house manure. The vines must be trained early and substantially, other wise they become diseased and the fruit is insipid. For the same reason and to prevent the ravages of insects and worms, it is desirable to sprinkle them frequent ly 7 with lime water. Both the vines and fruit are said to be; healthy and desirable food for cows—as;! taey are greedily eaten by them and , tend to increase the yield of milk and , butter. For winter use.— Tomatas may be 1 preserved when perfectly ripe, by cover- ' mg them in a stone or glass jar, with salt j and water so strong as to bear an egg ] pressing them gently with a plate to keep! them covered in the water and to ex clude the air. 11 Tomatas will also keep —By put- ■* ting them alternately in layers with dryj sand, corn meal, or pine straw, and cov-l f ering the cask so as to exclude the air,!' . and when opened at all, using them in a | few davs. • I ►j It is said they 7 will also keep and retain their colour, if taken when ripe and wiped! dry, without breaking the skin, and put-' ting them in cold vinegar, with a small j bag containing mace, cloves and black pepper, all whole —The air must be com-; s pletely excluded. We append the following receipts for; , cooking this vegetable, from Miss Leslie’s , . and other approved works: ; Stewed Tomatas. —Peel your tomat- I as, cut them in half and squeeze out the 1 seeds. Then put them into a stew-pan without any water, and add to them 'jeayenne and salt to your taste, (and if | ! |you choose,) a little minced onion, and ► some powdered mace. Stew them slow- ' ; ;!y till they are first dissolved and then 1 ipiry* ’ Baked Tomatas.—Peel some large fine tomatas, cut them up, and take out ■ the seeds. Then put them into a deep >|dish in alternate layers with grated bread- 1 'crumbs, and a very little butter in small : bits. There must be a large proportion of bread-crumbs. Season the whole with ' 1 a little salt, and cayenne pepper. Set it iin an oven, and bake it. In cooking to ■ matas, take care not to have them too . liquid. 1 i Tomata Katchcp. —Gather the to matas on a dry day, and when quite ripe. ’ Peel them, and cut them into quarters. ! 'Put them into a large earthen pan, and 1 I mash and squeeze them till they are rc-' . ducecl to a pulp. Allowing Haifa pint of : . fine salt to a hundred tomatas, put them ! into a preserving kettle, and boil them : jgently with the salt for two hours, stir * ring them frequently to prevent their ! burning. Then strain them through a [ fine sieve, pressing them with the back of a silver spoon. Season them to your taste with mace, cinnamon, nutmeg, gin ’ gcr, and white or red pepper, all powder ed fine. Put the tomata again over the tire with . the spices, and boil it slowly till very , thick, stirring it frequently. When cold, put it up in small bottles,; secure the corks well, and it will koepj good a year or two. . ° 7 i Another. —To make them into cat I sup, 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 stops ■ rising, with two ounces of black pepper, i the same quantity of pimento or allspice, one ounce of ginger, one of cloves, and; [■ half an ounce of tnace. ’ To Pickle Tomatas. —Take a peck of tomatas, (the small round ones are ! best for pickling,) and prick every one with a fork. Put them into a broad : stone or earthen vessel, and sprinkle salt between every layer of tomatas. Cover them, and let them remain three days in; salt. Then put them into vinegar and j water mixed in equal quantities, half and 1 j half, and keep them in it twenty-four! hours, to draw out the saltness. There'' | must be sufficient of the liquid to cover j' the tomatas well. I Tomata Soy. —For this purpose you; 1 must have the best and ripest tomatas, 1 and they must be gathered on a dry day. 1 Do not peel them, but merely cut them 1 into slices. Having strewed some salt l over the bottom of a tub, put in the to matas in layers; sprinkling between each layer (which should be about two inches in thickness) a half pint of salt. Repeat 1 thi3 till you have put in eight quarts or | one peck of tomatas. Cover the tub and I let it set for three days. Then early in :< the morning, put the tomatas into ajl large porcelain kettle, and boil it slowlyli and steadily till ten at night, frequently mashing and stirring the tomatas. Then 1 put it out to cool. Next morning strain ! and press it through a sieve, and when no: r more liquid will pass through, put it intojl a clean kettle with two ounces of cloves, t one ounce of mace, two ounces of black I pepper, and two table-spoonfuls of cay- < enne all powdered. 1 Again let it boil slowly and steadily ! {all day, and put it to cool in the evening:( in a large pan. Cover it, and let it set'l all night. Next day put it into small ! bottles, securing the corks bv dipping ! them in melted rosin, and tying leathers ' over them.j jj If made exactly according to these die rections, and slowly and thoroughly boil ;a ed, it will keep for years in a cool dry ! place, and may be used for many purpo- « ses when fresh tomatas are not to be had. (ti Tomata Broiled. —Take large ripe! tomatas; wipe them, and split them in j half. Broil themon agridiron till brown,jj' turning them when half done. Have b ready in a dish some butter seasoned with a little pepper. When the tomatas are!*; well broiled, put them into the dish, and'* jpress each a little with the back of a ; spoon, so that the juice may run into the: butter and mix with it. This is to make' | the gravy. Send them to the table hot.! Tomatas are very good sliced, and fried i in butter. i Preserved Tomatas. —Take large (fine tomatas, (not too ripe.) and. scald them to make the skins come off easily. | VVeigh them, and to each pound allow a ; pound of the best brown sugar, and the (grated peel of a large lemon. Put all to igether into a preserving kettle, and hav ing boiled it slowly for three hours, (skimming it carefully,) add the juice of the lemons, and boil it an hour longer.; Then put the whole into jars, and when cool cover and tie them up closely.— This is a cheap and excellent sweetmeat: i but the lemon must on no account be o mitted. It may be improved by boiling ( a little ginger with the other ingredients. i Tomata Honey. —To each pound of tomatas, allow the grated peal of a lemon ' and six fresh peach-leaves. Boil them i slowly till they are all to pieces; then squeeze and strain them through a bag. To each pint of liquid allow a pound of loaf-sugar, and the juice of one lemon.! Boil them together half an hour, or till they become a thick jelly. Then put it into glasses, and lay double tissue (taper closely over the top. It will be scarcely distinguishable from real honey. Gumbo. —Take an equal quantity of young tender ochras, and of ripe tomatas, (for instance, a quarter of a pack of each.) Chop the ochras fine, and scald) and peel the tomatas. Put them into a| stew-pan without any water. Add a lump of butter,and a very little salt and pepper; and, if you choose, an onion minced fine. Let it stew steadily for an hour. Then strain it, and send it to ta ble as soup in a tureen. It should be like a jelly, and is a favorite New Orleans dish. Eat dry toast with it. Gumbo Soup. —Take four pounds of i the lean of a fresh round of beef and cut (the meat into small pieces, avoiding care fully all the fat. Season the meat with a little pepper and salt, and put it on to (boil with three quarts and a pint of water ((not more.) Boil it slowly and skim it (well. When no more scum rises, put in half a peck of ochras, peeled and sliced, and half a peck of tomatas cut in quar ters. Boil it slowly till the ochras and tomatas are entirely dissolved, and the meat all to rags. Then strain it through !a cullender, and send it to tabic with sli- Icesofdry toast. This soup cannot be I made in less than seven or ci<Wit hours J It you dine at two, you must put on the meat to boil at six or seven in the morn ing. It should be as thick as jelly. To make Tomato Pies. —The tomat-i oes are skinned and sliced, and after be ing mixed with sugar spiced and pre pared in the same manner as other pics. Spiced Tomatoes.— Receipt for a bushel of Tomatoes. —Take your toma toes and pour boiling water over them, skim them, then boil them well, after which add a tea spoonful of salt, a tabic j spoonful of black pepper, one table spoon-1- ful of Cayenne, half an ounce of cloves., an ounce of mace; mix well, and put the| tomatoes in jars, run mutton suet over them, and tie buckskin over the tops: j prepared in this way, they will keep a i year. Pickling Cucumbers. A correspondent of the New England 1 < Farmer gives an efficacious method of pickling cucumbers, which he learnt from an old sea captain in the West In dies. The receipt is very simple, and < the superiority of pickles cured by its di- \ rcctions, has been tested by many years ( experience. They are neither affected • by age, season, nor climate. The fol- J lowing is the receipt: “To each hund- ] red of cucumbers put a pint of salt, and 1 pour in boiling water sufficient to cover ( the whole. Cover them tight to prevent ( the steam from escaping, and in this con- ] dition let them stand for twenty-four 1 hours. They are then to bo taken out, j and after being wiped, perfectly dry, ( (care being taken that tho skin is not ( broken,) placed in the jar in which they < are to be kept. Boiling Vinegar (if spice j is to be used it should be boiled with the ( vinegar) is then to be put to them, the ’ jar closed tight, and in a fortnight deli- j cious hard pickles are produced, as green j as the day they were upon the vines.” ( The best vinegar to be used. j ( List of Payments to the Washingtonian.
