Wash the cucumbers and pack them
into a water-tight receptacle such as a
barrel, key or crock, which is perfectly
clean Holders, made Of yellow or
pitch pine Should not be used, as they
will give an unpleasant flavor On the
bottom of the receptacle should be
placed layer of dill seed and small
quantity Of mixed spices, varying with
the size Of the holder. Another LAYER
of dill seed and spices should be made
when the container is half full, and an
other near the top, when the container
is nearly filed. The contents should be
covered with an inch layer of beet tops
or grape leaves to protect them from
spoilage that may occur in the surface
during the process of fermentation.
Place a board cover on the contents
and press it down with weights of
| brick or stone, avoiding the use Of sand
stone and limestone. For the brine use
one pound Of salt to each ten quarts
Of water and to this add two-thirds OF
a quart Of vinegar. Pour into the hold
eT enough brine to cover the contents
After allowing this mixture to stand
for 81 hours make the holder air-tight

Fermenting Cucumbers.

The use Of brine III preparing vege-
tables for winter use has much to com
mend it to the consideration of the
housewife. No cooking Is required by
this process, the salt brine being the
only requirement. An important fea-
ture of this method is that vegetables
thus prepared may be served as they are
or they may be freshened by soaking
in clear water and cooked as fresh vege
tables.

every nook and corner of the country
to take part in what may be their last
big encampment. With the veterans
there will gather members of nearly
a dozen allied organizations, and alto
gether Boston is preparing to enter
tain several thousand visitors. There
is every reason to believe that the
coming encampment will be one of the
most notable that the G. A. r. has
held in recent years. The present war
enthusiasm prevailing throughout the
country is expected to give added in

who fought for the flag more than

who were brave enough to fight and
suffer for their country on battlefield
and in prison, are too cowardly to go

spoken to about it by devout comrades
