Mr. .Samuel Jolinn, Kid rn, Iowa, describes in
the Kansas Farmer his melhodof mining cucum
bers y Hie bnrrcl:
" lake a eouinioit salt barrel, knock both cuds
out, set It in a convenient place, and till nearly
full of well-rotted manure. Form three bills lor
tho vines, one on the cast, one on tho went and
tho other on tho south sideof the barrel. Have
but three plants in a hill, then place, brush to
keep tho vines up from the ground Keep the1
barrel well watered, and If those three hillsdoii't
tiirulsh enough pickles lor a largo family, ilieu
think mo a false prophet." The aame method la I
employed Just as successfully in growing melons.
We have tried It with. Hie bent success, Water I
should be poured Into the barrel daily, ll.ilf- i
