The equipment needed is compara- tively simple, but you must be able to store in a tool, dry place if you are storing in odd jars sealed with war- time wax or crocks. We suggest recipes requiring little or no sugar although we have had several requests for those using sugar. But, naturally, if you have sufficient sugar, "go to it" and make the kind that pleases your family.

A brine too weak will tend to soften pickles. -The recommended solution to crisp cucumbers is one pound of salt to five quarts of water, 3. Keep pickled cucumbers green, put a thick layer of fresh green grape or cherry leaves between layers of cucumbers and on top of them be- fore pouring on the brine.
