complete list of his hands and full report

have every overseer present. They wish
to reappoint the hands for the different

them every year; and the overseers can
greatly assist the Board Of super, isors II

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.

There are those who are morbidly
anxious about their health, watching
every sym7ton and dosing themselves
on the slightest provocation. There are
others who never give the matter a
thought, but permit real symptoms to
lapse into the certainties of disease. Be,
tween these two extremes tie wise man
steers-never unduly anxious, and yet
not permitting genuine symptoms to dew
elop. He knows that delays are danger
Gus, and he knows, moreover, that the
medicine most likely to be affective is
that which goes straight to the seats of
disease, and tones up the digestive organs,
strengthens the system and purifies the
system and purifies the blood. He takes
a few doses of s. S. S., and soon firds
that all the symptoms have disappeared,
and that he is in better condition than
ever. The great vegetable remedy has
no rival.

Can ned Corn.
Clerk.

Some inquiries for directions for can
ming corn, leads to the republication Of
he following recipe:
The first essential is to have good
tender sweet corn, and as fresh from the
field as possible. Cut the corn from the
cob. To six quarts Of corn add one
ounce of tartaric acid dissolved in cold
water enough to cover the corn. The
tartaric acid should be put into the water
first, and the corn added while the water
is cold. Let it come to boil. 1t will
foam IN boiling considerably and must
DE boiled until the froth settles, when it
Is ready to can. If there is not enough
water to cover the corn more nav be
added at any time, afterward stirring i,
well. Put up in glass while hot and seal
tightly. This is simple process; the
corn is almost absolutely certain to keep
indefinitely. Open the can four
or five hours before 1t is needed
and stir well through the corn with the
liqnor left over it, one teaspoonful oil
shaking Soda to each quart and let il
stand, stirring it occasionally, until time
to prepare it for the table, which need
not require more than ten or fifteen
minutes, then bring 1t to the boiling
point and season to taste just as you
would in summer. Your teaspoons may
be little too large or small, and you
may not get enough or little too much
soda il. 1t is easy too add little more
if the corn is not as sweet as it should be-
[ there is too much in the corn will vel
low; in this case there should be al
hand little Of the acid that can be
added in small quantities until the proper
color is obtained. Corn preserved in
this way retains the crisp tenderness
Of the summer vegetable, and skillfully
prepared may be easily mistaken fol-
fresh corn. In some cases little sugar
added is an improvement.

The outlook for big crop of tomatoes

Mr.. Bishop is very deserving young
nan and We wish him much success In
his undertaking. lie says he is not
going tc undertake any very great thing
right away but wants to build up his

acres in tomatoes when he got his mas
chinery and now he is waiting for the
fruit to ripeD to begin work"

For instance, the length of the Rateigh &
