IN A STRANGE PICKLE I -— TH£ UNFORTUMATE FATE OF A CUCUMBER FARM®!, * “ r*f* k* But Which Helped Along the Widow and Orphans and Saved Fu¬ neral Expenses. We stepped-into Judge mood’s office and took our accustom ed scat, and waited Oil he finished drawing np the contraot for the build ing a union passenger depot, which now awai's the signature of the three railroad com; • -iea and the contract ors. TLo tr .a of the contract, when si .ed, will be given to the reader* ol the News in fall. The News looked wistfully at the Judge, who drew a long breath and said: Well, young man, since fruit and truck farming has assumed auch important proportions in this country, there has been a most wonderful de velopmentin the r. source* of Middle Georgia. On< in this county raised and gutheicd one hundred bushels of ruta bag* turnip seed and •hipped them north. Another real ized two thousand dollars from one crop of sugar cane. Several have made handsome dams from the sale of watermelons, fruits and vegeta bles, and otl have converted their fruit into brr , and of course they had a “high oiu time.” But I wish to call your attention to one of the me«t remarkable occurrences of this century; bit *t the same time it was very sad. There wi? a poor man with a large family, conaisii^® of bis devoted wife and many children, mostly boys and girls. Me owned a few acres of land, a small portion of which was in lich bottom. He con ceived the idea that by proper drain age and cultivation ho might raise large quantities of cucumbers, and by proper management might find a renomerative market for them. So he made his arrangements according ly, and raised his cucumbers, packed them in salt, and shipped them to some northern firm for pickling. The first year he was very successful and sold large quantities of them for prices. The second year lie felt so much encouraged that he increased bis crop and confidently expected a much larger income. During the gathering time, he was constantly en gaged in cutting, sorting, and pack ing Lis cucumbers into barrels and shipping them to his customers. It is well known that when ca cambers are first ent from the there is a piece which exudes bleeds from the stem. One morn mg the farmer cot his hand this juice got into the cut, and hand commenced to inflame, an eruption similar to made its appearance ou his hand extended np his arm, and spread over his whole body. to say, there wan no paiu these eruptions of erisipelas, and be continued to gather and pack encumbers and prepare them shipment. To the groat surprise the farmer these little erisipelas pies Hssnmed the appearance and form of small cucumbers, and tinued to grow: although the farmer kept well uud hearty, he was com polled to strip himself and lake his bed. Of course, the nows this strange phenoiueu far and wide, and the aud scientific men visited him from various sections of the country. One idescribed one thing, and another* One wished to bleed him: one wished to cut the cucumbars another said not let him have any water and they would dry up: anoth er said, stick a hole in each cucum ber and they would die and a new skin form: another wished to him up in a mammoth poultice barn yard manure and draw them all to one head: another said they ought to be scattered. Each had a ent remedy, but all disagreed. So there was some hops that the patient would get well. As the summer ad vanoed, the small cucumbers grew in to big enes and bis whole body was completely covered with them from head to foot, aud they commented to ripen and turu yeilavr and hang down and the man assumed the ap pearance of a huge bnnch of bananas. Wbeu they got ripe they began to shrive! and drv up and $n did the tain. His **p was *11 gone and be died. The Doctor* procured the consent j of the family lo permit an autopsy to ' be made, for the benefit cf science, and they cut into him with their knives, ar.d lo their amazement found uo fleab —no bicod- oo bones —no muscles- - no sinews — uo veines— no arteries; but found only one solid massotcucumber seed. Itwassor* markable that the widow decided that it would bo useless to have the remains interred and foolish to have them cremated, and concluded that she would keep them in the house. So abe had the corpse hang up by the hair of the head and veiled. The next spring some of the cbil dren packed up some of the seed which had dropped on the floor and planted them. They grew rapidly and matured, and instead of being like the parent stock of cucumbers, they were pore pickl6* and needed no vinegar, oo pepper, uo salt, noth ing bat simply packiog into barrels and shipping to market and selling. Of conrae, news of the discovery spread rapidly, and multitudes ofap plications for seed flowed in like the incoming tide, and thus enabled the disconsolate widow aud children to turn the canse of their bereavement into a means of mantainance and support. The wind of affliction was thus tempered to these chosen lambs. They sold small pockets of seed for big peices. and could not supply the demand. The vine grown from the new seed is a perennial evergreen, and can be propogated from cuttings, blooms in the spring, and bears in the summer a bounti fal crop of perfect pickles. The widow sells the seed at $1 a paper £^d hot grown plants at 25 cents each. Tha Griffin Accommodation.
