MOST POPULAR OF PICKLES
Dill Flavor Has a Hold on People
That No Other Variety Seems
to Possess.

The dill Is most familiar to us In
connection with dill pickles. and per.
haps some of us use the name with
out knowing that it belongs to a plant,
the seeds and tiny thread-like leaves
OF which are used for flavoring Ger
man and Italian cooks make most OF
1t, chiefly in preserves and pickles.
The flavor suggests a combination of
fennel and mint. In appearance the
oil plant Is something like the tall
Wild parsnip, Though originally ma

lily In gardens In a colder climate if
given warm situation and well
drained soil
For dill pickles the cucumbers,
one quart Of small-sized ones, should
De used as soon as they are picked.
Scrub them, without breaking the
skin, and lay In cold water In which
quarter of cupful OF table salt has
been dissolved, using enough water
to cover the cucumbers. Let this
stand over night, pour off the water
add fresh water and drain, then pack
the cucumbers with two or three pep
pers, tablespoonful of mixed spice
and some branches of dill, in a quart
fruit jar. Dissolve a quarter of
cupful or more Of sugar In enough
scalding hot vinegar to fill the jar to
overflowing; adjust the rubber ring
and fasten the cover down securely.
After the jar Is opened If the vine
gar scums over, pour it off and re-
place 1t with a second supply Of scald-
ing hot vinegar and sugar. The
pickles should then keep in good con.
dltion though opened daily.
