g. +, CUCUMBERs FOR PICKLES.
Those who plant cucumbers for pickles
only, do not wish to plant seed early and
often when the proper time comes the
soil is very dry. A correspondent of the
american Rural Home says that in such
cases he succeeds by soaking the seed for
twenty four hours, and then planting
them in the hills, covering the hills with
one inch Of rotten manure, and then
moistening the ground if the same is
very dry. have in this manner planted
cucumber seeds in dry and hot weather,
and had them up in three or four DAYS,
and in splendid condition, between rows
OF onion sets, and never touched them un-
til the onions had been removed, and
thereby received a double crop
from a piece of land which other
wise would have had but one crop.

fruit will not seperate from the stone,
weigh and throw the plums whole into
the preserving pan, boil them to pulp,
pass through a sieve, and deduct the
weight of the stones sfrom them when
apportioning the jam. The Orleans plum
may be substituted for greengages in
