l There are cigh, different kinds of cucum- ! bers cultivated tn -Engtand, viz: Early

 Green Cluster, Early Frame. Long Green Turkev, Long White Turkey, Long lPrickly, White Spinod, Short pickle, and lsmall Gerkin or West India. All those will grow ir any soil, but not withthe same vigor. In the culture of all give proper supplies of water in dry warm weather, and

 they must have asuficiency of heat, light, l water, and air. Abercr0mbie recom-

 mends the long prickly kinds for early sunl-

 mer crops.

 The ground being dug and smoothed. line it into squares of six feet; in the cen- | Ire of each dig holc ahont l4 inches Il ldeep,-fill this with rotted dung, and SOW on it five. or six cncnushet soeds-: cover them with mould, and when they rise and 1 take rough leaf, select two to each hill, 4 and draw out the remainder. The sow ling cannot be safely made hero until the

 first of May; for the fall and pickling

 crops, you must SOW about the middle of July. K. .. ss ... l Abcrcrombie recommends, (and my own

 experience has fully satisfied me on this

 point, to stop tho runners as soon as the

 plant has made two rough leaves; us the 1 bud that produces the runner is disclosed

 at the base ofthe second rough loat, 1t may

 be cut off or picked out: or if the runner

 has already started, it may be punched of close. This is called stopping at the first

 joint, and is necessary, to promote a

 stronger stocky growth, and an emission 1 of fruitful laterals,--and from these the

 prolific runners will be successfully produ- ced. The vines, without this process oC

 stopping, would generally be both weuker

 and so deficient in fertile runners, that

 they would extend two or three feet with.

 out showing fruit. S @se
