LARGE CUCUMBER PICKLES.— Very nice pickles may be made with the large cucumbers that would be considered unfit for use by some people. Peel them, and take out the seeds and soft part; cut them the long way of the cucumber, cover them with cold vinegar, and let them stand one day and night; drain them well and put on fresh vinegar, with 2 lbs. sugar; put 1 oz. cassia buds in a quart of vinegar
