one pint salt, four tablespoonfuls ground cloves, four tablespoonfuls
allspice.

RIPE TOMATO PICKLE.
Puncture the tomato with a thorn or straw. Put a layer of tomatoes,
with onions cut up. Sprinkle salt on them, then put another layer of
tomatoes and onions, with salt sprinkled over them. When you have
filled the jar or vessel with tomatoes, let them remain about a week,
then lay them in dishes to drain. Give each tomato a gentle squeeze,
to get the salt water out. Put them in a jar and cover with strong
vinegar. Boil a small quantity of vinegar with pepper, horseradish,
and such other spices as you like, and pour it over the tomatoes. To
two gallons of tomatoes, use a box of mustard dissolved in the
vinegar.--_Mrs. C. C._
