HusKrSG THE CORN.

In packing, the corn is put up in tin cans
A 5-s inches long, 5 IL inches in diameter,
weighing, when filed, tweniy-seven ounces
They are then cncased in wrappers, are
placed in square wooden boxes or eases
two dozen cans to the case, and are shipped
not only TO various points throughout the
United States, the Canadas, Central America,
ETC., but TO almost every other habitable por.
ton of the globe. II Is available in all cii-
mates, opening equally we'll in the arctic
regions ard in the tropics. In one instance
it goes to a missionary port in Africa, where
it is transported by the negroes on foot COO
miles from the point of unloading. In all
the great eenters of the south and west are
seen the familiar cases, which bear on their
iilumined label the inscription of Maine's
"world-renowned sweet corn" Some of the
western states produce quito good canned
corn, but no other state than Maine furnishes
it as nutritious, sweet and tender,
Her soil and atmosphere are peculiarly
adapted to the growth of sugar corn, which
is q dwarf variety. A few years ago chemical
analysis was made of corn packed in Maine,
Maryland and Iowa, as representative geo.
graphical points, which showed the following
as to tho food value of the three lots: Maine
corn, 456.7; Iowa corn, 350.7; Maryland,
303.7. BY this it was shown that the Maine
corn stood 30 per cent. above the Iowa
and 50 per cent, above the Maryland in food
value; or If Maryland corn is worth so cents
per dozen cans and Iowa 81, the Maine corn
is worth S1.25.

LABELLING THE CAN.

Up to tho year 1874 tho corn was cut from
the cob by hand with a small, bent knife with
n guagc, with the other hand steadying and
turning the CIR against the inside Of Il long
tray. Now II machine does the work as well
one man turning ont as much as twelve men
could by hand. The ear is placed in position
by the left hand, while by an immediate lever
stroke with the right it is forced through an
ingenious arrangement of knives and longi-
tuiinal seTapers, which in an instant cut of
the kernels clean. and, what was the most
difficult obstacle III overcome, removes all the
juice without tab king any OF the hull, a feat
moi always ACCOMPLISHED by new or careless
operators by hand under the old system.
This season Il couple of steam corn-cutting
machines are also being used in one factory.
The fact that only fy3 or six weeks out of the
year are available for experimenting explains
why it has taken SO long n time 10 perfect the
cutting and other corn-l,acking machinery.
Pressing" follows. This is measuring and
filing the can with u certain amount of corr
through the hole in the upper end, prepare
tory to sealing. Two kinds of machines have
lately come into use for this, each Of which
does three-foid work over hand. With the
machines an ordinary workman can press
sixty cans II minute, or &c, 900 in ton hours
which is more than three times as much az
can be 10 with the old hand-press by the
quickest ana stoutest man, with the aid of a
boy.
Sealing is the next step. A tin cap is
placed over the aperture and soldcrcd on
with Il hot revolving iron. In this, too, there
have been improvements, though not so raii.

Something About Warts.

Warts consist chiefly Of an overgrowth Of
the papila Of the skin. The exciting causes
OF this oyergrowth are various, and often no
cause is recognized. They are moro likely to
occur in childhood, probably because tho
phenomena Of growth arc then more active
than at other times. They seem to be most
common where the skin is most exposed to
all kinds OF irritation. as upon the hands.
Sometimes they appear to be communicated
from one person to another, and some per.
Sons show a great susceptibility to them.
Warts usually appear suddenly, and often
as suddenly disappear. Doubtless upon this
popularity depends the success Of the charms
and incantatlons 50 commonly employed for
their removal. Il is not improbable that tho
fixed attention excited by the incantation
may influence the nutrition Of the part and
30 favor the change in the papilH Of the skin
essential to the disappearance Of the wart.
The writer used to amuse himself with the
various popular charms or with. others ex-
temporized at the moment, much to the edi-
Gcation II comfort Of the sufferers. It is
possible that in some instances where the
charm involved the rubbing upon the warts
d INc JhlCt VI Ntl lam AINNto IA i4tAtI ildJ
have readily had a medicinal influence. This
treatment by charm has been alluded to be-
cause Of its frequent use and the frequent
apparent success which has attracted tho
notice of writer's.
The most prompt and efficient method Of
disposing of warts is to thoroughly scrape
them out. This leaves a little ''punehed-out"
looking hole in the skin, which heals quickly
if kept clean. II any bleeding occurs it can
be stopped by hot water. This e%xtirpation,
II thorough, generally prevents It return.
II this seems too radical a performance
Tor domestic medicine, the glacial acetic
acid, or a saturated solution of s~alicylic acid,
may be applied carefully 70 the wart. The
ssiek of a match OF q piece OF cigar lighter
Is a convenient Implement for making the
application. Tho liquid should 30 applied
freely 10 the wsrt, but not allowed 70 flow
around. The surrounding skin may he pro-
leeted by vaseline or b%icarbenate Of soda
before the application. After a day or two
rub off the dead part and make II new apy!i-
cation, and repeat until the wart is GONE
