CUCUMBERS. 
Earline“s in truck farming means every¬ 
thing. The following directions, if care¬ 
fully followed, will bring Cucumbers about 
three weeks earlier in sections where pre¬ 
cautions have to be taken against frost. 
Take a sufficient number of old tomato cans and place 
them in a fire, so as to remove the solder from the joints. 
After this has been done tie them into shape again by a 
stout string drawn around them; pack them closely togeth¬ 
er in a frame in the ground with a glass sash over them, fill 
them with good soil, planting from four to five seeds in each 
can. Water them, close the sash and do not open it until 
you see the seeds are coming up. After this, in good 
weather, give plenty of air and water; thin out to three in a 
can; they will be ready to plant out in four weeks, possibly 
three. Before planting out have the ground well plowed, 
fine and in good order. Set the plants in the field about 
eight feet apart; lift the cans from the frame and carry to 
the field in such a manner as not to shake them apart; have 
holes dug two feet deep and wide, and every eight feet; in 
each ppt two shovelsful of well rotted manure, mix thor¬ 
oughly with an equal amount of soil; cut the strings holding 
the can together, set it in at the right depth, that is so the 
top of the can will be even with the ground, carefully un¬ 
wind the can and fill in the hole, throwing around the plant, 
just below the surface, a handful of cotton seed meal. Use 
your own judgment in planting in the cans, remembering 
that plants can not remain in them longer than four weeks 
after planting the seed. Many truckers plant seeds in the 
field in February and protect them by glowing them under
