TO PRESERVE CUCUMBERS FOR
PICKLING.

Cat the cucumbors from off the vines
without bruising the stems ; lay them care
fully in basket take them to the cellar
sort them and pack thom in barrels, putting
different sizes in seperate barrels ; sprc ad
a layer of salt between each layer of Gu
cumbels there should be sufficient salt to
entirely cover tho pickles between the lay
ers. Continue to pack the cucumbers
daily as they arc picked, never using any
but fine cuoumbers, discarding all that are
crooked or Of slow growth, Keep boards
over the pickles, and weight to press them
under the brine, which will be formed
without the addition of water,with the juice
extracted from the fruit by the salt
Pickles packed in this manner may be pre-
served for years, if there are no impurities
in the salt but if the salt is mixed with
lime, they will soon soften and spoil.

TOMATOES.

The season for tomatoes is now athand
and almost every one appreciates their val
ue. Passing by garden few day ago
which, in most respects, resented evidence
of careful and intelligent culture, we were
sorry to observe that the growing tomatoes
were wholly neglected. The vines were
large, and spread SaIl over the ground ;
but there was but a small show Of fruit -
And because there may be many such
gardens, whoro the tomatoes are neglected
we say 10 our readers BE sure and pro
vide some kind Of support for your toma'
TO plants, it matters but little how the sup
port is nado, provided it keeps the fruit
from the ground, and exposed to the lgbl
and air. And, besides, if you would have
large fruit Of the best quality, cut or pinch
of the laterales when sufficient number o.
flowers are set.

GATHERING pOTATOEs.

There is time which is the fittest ard
best in which to perform any kind of work
where the elements, and seasons of nature,
have anything to do with it. Gathering
potatoes is one ofthat kind. When should
this bo done Manifestly as soon as they
are ripe, and ordinarily this will be in a.
bout four months and a half from the time
the seed is covered in the ground. After
The potato is ripe, there is no reason why
il should remain in tho ground, and GER
tainly since it cannot increase their size
or goodness by deferring gathering, the
sooner it is harvested tho less danger will
arise from heavy rains; asd while the
soil is dry the more easily it can be taken
from the earth, But there is an impor-
liant consideration connected with this
The earlier the potato is dug, the better
opportunity thercis to destroy the rank
weeds that have sprung up since the last
hoeing. In digging, care should be taken
to destroy all the weeds; and in doing
this an aye should be had for the next
season. The potato tops and all the weeds
should be buried as you pass along in dig.
ging. Dig hill of potatoes, leaving the
hill open to receive the top weeds: then
take earth from the next hill back to cover
the tops and weeds thus deposited. In
this way you destroy at least one-half OF
the seeds of weeds before they mature, and
are adding to your ground valuable
manuring for the coming season. And
when your lot is dug over in this way il
looks clean and farm-like, and you have
done as good service to the lot as one goot
ploughing would be, and better This
mode Of harvesting would suggest the ear
liost practicable planting of the potato, tha
irs harvesting may be made earlier. And
he earlier it is harvested, we feel satisfied
,he better for the health and cleanliness
of the soil and the moro profit to the far
mer.

SYSTEM IN GAMBLING.

To stand by and see the wreck of ga system" is
one Of the most dismal spectsces in the world.
The most marvellous thing is that the ship
goes TO pieces in few minutes. There is q stout
English gentleman, for instance, in rich brown
wig, and flowing white waistcoat, who has dis
covered "a system" and has come to play it. We
may suspect that he has been good deal
knocked about" and has rubbed up against all
manner of characters; for no talked in French
and German with fuency that more respectable
people do not attain. He has his fixed place On
the croupier's right; has q little volume on
gaming, beautifully scored in black and red lines
and has, besides, black crOp-haired, t9inkling-
eyed aide-de-camp whose Guty il is to do hur-
Tied arithmetic, and lay down the money. Before
the chief is 70 be seen a most inviting and varied
pile two fat rouleauX, three heaps of golden
dOuble-FrederiCks, and three or four heaps of
heavy double hOrins. Every morning he comes,
and gaming menal secures his place for him,
according 10 the formula, by laying bit OF silver
on a card, and there he SITS from eleven until
about two.
The system consists Of beginning with cou-
pie of tiorins. II he win, the same sum, and a

Englishman and his system; and II was known
that he was winning steadily and surely about
