PRESERVING GREEN CORN FOR
WINTER.

The canning Of corn in families 80 sener-
orally fails that we cannot recommend the

is that which is properly dried. The first
essential is good corn, and the next is to dry
it carefully before it gets too old. Mrs. NJ.

Gates the following sensible ideas about pre-
pairing it:
'It is wonder that 50 few should have
anything by field cs,rn for table use and
for drying there is srIll greater contras
between the common field corn ard the gar
den varieties. have been used for years to
drying corn. Boil the green ears a minute
or two just to harden the milk, then en-.
from the cob and spread on a cloth in the
sun fol two days, taking it in at night it
will then keep anywhere. When cooked, il

wanted for a week or TWO may be wet. Il
cooks quicker and tastes better. 4 little

for two years past have pot some down IN

quickly prepared. At fir,t | had d fficulty

Of ;he Canning establishments around cur

several large Canning embellishments located

plan Of applying is, to furnish each plant
with a small handful mixed well with the

plant is started, and while cultfvaring, anoth-
er small handful rnay be scattered as top
