Mr. Samuel Johns, Ed ra, Iowa, describes In
the Kansas Farmer his method of raising cucum-
beers Wy the barrel:
Take Il common salt barrel, knock both ends
ont, set II in convenient place, and fill nearly
full of well rotted manure. Form three hills for
the vines, enc on the cast, one on the west and
the other on the south sideOf the barrel. Have
but three plants in hill, then place brush to
keep the vines up from the ground. Keep the
barrel well Watered and If those three hills don
furnish enough pickles for large family, then
think me n false prophet" The same method is
employed Just as successfully in growing melons.

should be poured into the barrel daily. Half

barrel.
