Canning Corn.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I will send
you my recipe for canning corn as
Miss r. M. wants one. I know she
will be pleased with it when she
tries it.
Prepare corn just as if you were
going to use immedia tely, only leave
off your seasoning. [ use tin cans
only. and they must be free of rust.
Cook your corn in a porcelain ket-
tie and don't have them very juicy.
For two quart corns add a half
teaspoonful of salt; also add soda
about one-third as much as salt;
then when you have them done fill
your cans, solder them perfectly air
tight, and then put your cans in
large pot or boiler. Keep them COW
cred with water and boil five hours
very hard. Then your corn will
keep perfectly nice and sweet as if
fresh. If you fail to get them sol
dered good they will puff up and
burst the can.
| have tried this recipe two years
with good results.
[ have been a reader of The Pro
gressive Farmer twenty years. like
it very much, but I have never writ
ten line for it before. I enjoy
the letters written to Aunt Jennie.
[ live in the western part Of North
Carolina where we have fine water.
fine lands, mountains and valleys;
raise all kinds of fruits, melons and
cantalopes. We have a very good
market for everything we raise; we
also have good churches and schools

Lastly, few words about funeral
wreaths. Do you know that sprigs
of asparagus and parsley make a
beautiful background and that white
clover. and milk weed bloom, alder,
haw-bloom and many others of our
home shrubs and plants can be used
where the more rare flowers are not
to be had? Only last week tiny
baby near us died, and the mother
wanted flowers so badly, but there
were none she could get. So I made
a wire cross and covered it with
the dainty tender plumes of aspara-
gus and filled it out with the tiny
white summer chrysanthemums, and
it was really very pretty land the
mother was satisfied. I think this
beautiful custom putting our fair
est and brightest flowers on the
bosom of our dead. Typical of the
life in death and of the love of God.
Well, no more at present as my

A Few Tricks Learned in the School
of Experience.

Dear Aunt Jennie: Let me tell
you of q few little tricks | learned
in Experiences school. You, my sis.
ter, the small farmers wife, who
own no patent appliances, these hot
days, when butter is in no demand,
and you have a stock of soft, stale
butter on your hands, let me learn
you one of these aforesaid tricks.
Weigh your butter and put into your
churn, with as many gallons of cold
fresh we'll water Cor better still, ice
water) as you have pounds of butter,
and a tablespoonful of salt to each
gallon of water, and churn thirty
minutes. You will be surprised TO
see how firm and sweet and how very
fresh smelling your old butter has
become. Do this first before send
ing to market if you can.
Another think / want to tell you
about is how to make apple butter.
You know we have many recipes tor
boiling hours and hours. But L like
my process better. Use sour, gralny,
mellow apples. Peel, slice and steam
very soft Run through a sieve, or
else marsh fine, so as to have no
lumps. Measure your pulp. Omit
the Juice. Weigh your sugar and al
low half as much as you have fruit:
Put your sugar in your boiler and
wet with just enough water to pre-
vent scorching. Let it boil until 1t
will spin a thread. Now add your
apple pulp and boil together until
it peels when cold Flavor with
any spices desired. This can be cut

me to be among the correspondents
that think cooking is "the dirtiest
drudgery of anything, and has to be
done three times a day in the, 365,
days." I like to cook very much,
and don't think It drudgery.
I agree with Rosabelle about wo-
mans dress. She voiced my senti-
ments exactly. [ would like to see
her. Bye, bye.

besides.
Around here there are very few
vines, and almost all the trees we
have at home. Even the cabbage
palmetto, as we all know, grows as

There is one thing we have here
that l hope will never get to North
Carolina, and that is the saw pal
metto. 1t is a most troublesome
thing. Its trunk seems never to get
over a foot or two high, though tits
always growing. They keep their
heads up, but the body stays on the
ground. They grow over each other

about the size of your finger, almost
to China. They are awful to grub

account of their vile taste. Hogs
grow very fat off them and can be
killed out of the woods.

often to improve the range for cat

tions of the State with which l am

Around here the scenery is unin-
teresting with the exception of our
beautiful bay, with it's numerous
changes and it's boats and fishes; it
is picture that one never tires Ct.

wrong conceptions that great

WAY TO TREAT HAY FEVER.
No Stomach Dosing, Just Breathe
Hyomei-Stops Sneezing and
Smarting.

Clarke & Co. are recommending to
their customers as a cure for hay
fever, Hyomei.
1t is claimed for this remedy that
it stops the spasmodic paroxysms, the
sneezing, the smarting and running
Of the eyes and nose, and other acute
symptoms of this disease.
Many persons have been cured of
hay fever by Hyomei, and the dis
coverer of the remedy processes to be
able to prevent boththe occurrence of
the annual attack and to stop the
progress of the disease, even in the
most chronic farms.
A Hamlin, of Westford, Mass,
writes "Hyomei cured me of hay
fever in one weeks time. Iconsiderit
duty to tell others who suffer from
this disease"
This endorsement is only one of
hundreds that have been received by
the prOprietors of Hyomei, and Clarke
& Co. offer to refund the money if
Hyomei does not do all that is claim
ed for it, is the strongest proof that
can be given as to the confidence they
have in Hyomei's power to cure hay
fever. The complete outfit costs but
$1.O0, while extra bottles can be pro-
cured for so cents.
