Sir W illiam Petty, the greut ship-build

The dream o f being In prison Is not
an uncommon one, although it Is not

dream. It could be easily Interpreted
by the disciples of the Freudlna school,
though they would require all the de

As fo r the mystics In spite o f Its be

nearly all account it to be one o f fa

you simply see a prison Is regarded by
some as indicative o f luck. As to es

saying that it means temporary suc

The soil for cucumbers should be
rich, and It Is a good plan to apply
well-rotted manure under the rows or
hills. I f planted In rows open the fur
row and scatter the manure along the
furrow, turning fresh soil over the ma

Aa cucumbers are easily Injured by
cold It Is not advisable to plant until
all danger o f frost Is over and the
ground has begun to warm up. For
very early cucumbers the seeds should
be planted In a hotbed In old straw

or directly In the soli o f the bed. By
starting the plants In hotbeds the cu
cumbers w ill be ready fo r the table
two or three weeks earlier than tf
started In the open. For the main
crop drill the seed In rows five feet
apart, and after the plants reach a
height o f three or four Inches thin
them to stand tw elve to eighteen
Inches apart In the row, or plant the
seeds In hills four feet apart each way
and thin to three or four plants to the
hill.
Cucumbers should be given frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines fill
most o f the space between the ro w s;
after this very little attention w ill be
needed, except to pull out weeds by
hand. Do not allow any fruit to ripen
on the vines until the end o f (he pick
ing season, as new fruits will not form
while the older ones nre ripening.
