BRATTLEBORO.

The Brattleboro Jelly company has bought
thus far this season 4, 250, 900 cucnmbers for
picking. which will make about 5000 barrels
Of pickles. These are sold all over New
England, New York and the south. This
years crop of cucumbers is the largest and
best ever grown in Brattleboro. Eugene
Akley raised little over 240, 900 cucumbers
from one acre of ground for which he
received $240, while W. G Cushing raised
2l4,044, John T. Wright, 17075S, and G. D.
Whitman, from two acres, 257 1866 cucumbers,
at the rate of 81. 1000. The vinegar for
picking comes from the west and contains
six per cent malt, the balance corn and rye.
The price of vinegar is double that of two
years ago, but the jelly company finds it of
better quality than that made from cider, so
they exchange their boiled cider for the west
ern product, though they make considerable
cider vinegar. The company is buying all of
the apples to be had in the vicinity at 20 cents
hundred pounds, as against Is cents last
hope to get 10000 this year, though there is
a scarcity of fruit. The apples are converted
into cider by steam evaporation. The com
pany has not begun the manufacture of Jelly,
as experience proves that October fruit is bet
ter for the purpose than that picked in Sep
TENDER.
