Cucumbers succeed best in warm, rich, sandyloamy ground. They should not be planted in theopen air until there is a prospect of settled warmweather; about the middle of May. Plant in hillsabout four feet apart each way. Put ten or fifteeriseeds in a hill, half an inch deep, and press theearth smoothly with the back of the hoe. The hillsshould be previously prepared by mixing thoroughlywith the soil of each a shovelful of well rotted man-ure. When all danger from insects is past, thin outthe plants, leaving three or four of the strongestto each hill. The fruit should be gathered whenlarge enough, whether required for use or not, asIf left to ripen on the vines, it destroys their pro-ductiveness. For pickles, plant from June to mid-dle of July. When small sprinkle the plants, whenthe dew is on, with ashes or air-slacked lime to pro-tect them from bugs. One pound is sufficient for an acre. KALEV
