The Pickle Prospect.

The cucumber piokle business is reaching enormous dimensions. On the Gifford lands alone there are 735 aores in thatcrop this year.' To preserve the crop ibere are salting stations at Gifford and Newland, with 28 tanks at the former and 20 it tba latter. Fair Oaks, Kniman, DeMotte, and we think Wheatfield also all have salting stations. For the most part the proepeot is now fine for a big orop, thongb right aronnd Kniman there ha* been a scarcity of rain.
