Picking CucuTbers.--A correspondent OF
The New England Farmer gives an effica.
cious method Of picking ~cncutnbera, which
he learnt from an old sea captain IN the West
Indies. The recipe 10 very simple, and the
superiority of pickles cured by its direction,
has been tested by many years Of experience.
They are neither affected by age, season, or
climate: " To each hundred Of ~cucunbers
put a pint Of salt, and pour In boiling water
sufficient TO cover the whole. Cover iharn
tight to prevent tho steam from escaping, and
in this condition let them stand for twenty
four hours. They are then ID be taken out,
and after wiping them perfectly drys(. Care
being taken that she skin is not broken, J

Boiling vinegar is then to be put to them, the
jar closed tight, and in q fortnight delicious
hard pickles are produced, as green 40 the
day they were upon the vine. The best VIM
