sandy loam is considered the best for all kinds of vines, 

 but heavy crops are grown on clay lands. With night 

 soil good pickles can be raised on any well-drained land. 



He also wants to know who are reliable men engaged 

 in this business. In Wilson s Business Directory he will 

 find a list of pickle dealers, the most of whom have fac 

 tories either in the city or out of town. Provost & Wells 

 have a factory at West Mt. Yernon, and Broadmeadow & 

 Stout at Dobbs Ferry. The business is in very few hands, 

 and judging from the large advance made upon the raw 

 article, must yield a fair profit. Probably there is room 

 for the enlargement of the business and for new men to 

 make a living. Every man must judge for himself whom 

 to deal with, and whether the pickle business will pay.

NO. 77. TIM BUNKER ON CURING PICKLES 

 AND EATING THEM. 



ME. EDITOR : &quot; It beats all what a fuss folks are mak 

 ing about pickles,&quot; said Seth Twiggs, walking into our 

 house one hot July night, and taking his seat on the set 

 tee, where he was soon lost in his favorite cloud of smoke.

 new crop just imported from China, or some other furreign 

 parts, insted of bein as old as the Bible. They re bavin 

 a run about equal to Multicaulis and Rohan potato, I m 

 bound to say.&quot;
