CUCU NBERS

The soil for CuCumbcrs should be
rich, and it Is good plan TO apply
wcll-rootcd manure under the rows
OF hills. If planted i'll rows, open
the furrow and scatter the manure
along the furrow, turning fresh
soil over the manure before plant
ing the seeds. If the seeds are
planted i'm hills, coninc the appli-
cation OF manure to the area oc-
cupicd by the hills.
As cucumbcrs are easily injured
bv cold, it is not advisable to plant
until all danger OF frost is over
and the ground has begun to warm
up. For very early cucucmhers the
seeds should be planted in a hot
bed in old strawberry boxes or
plant bands or directly in the soil
of the bed. By starting the plants
i'll hotbeds the cucumbers will be
ready for the table two or three
weeks earlier than if started in the
open. For the main crop, drill TIE
seed III rows 5 feet apart, and after
the plants reach a height of 3 or 4
inches thin them to stand II to Is
inches apart in the row, or plant
the seeds in hills 4 feet apart each
wav and thin to two or three
plants TO the hill.
Cucumbers should be given fire,
quent shallow cultivation until the
vines fill most of the space between
the rows; after this very little at
tention will be needed, except tC
pull out any weeds by hand. Dc
not allow any fruit to ripen on the
vines until the end of picking sea
son, as new fruits will not form
while older ones are ripening.
Young cucumber plants are of
ten DESTROYED by the cucumbe
beetle. 1t is possible to protect tn,
plants by covering them with small
wooden frames over which mosuui
| to netting has been stretched.

lection against the cucumber bee
