 N. A. B.-Please tell me how to can hominy made of whole grains of corn? And how to cap beets?
 A. Hominy is broken corn. To can green corn, fill tin canister, | place it in boiling water and allow it to remain several hours. The top and bottom will swell, and the can may burst if not strongly made. Some puncture the vessel and solder the opening when the steam has es- capped. Others do not consider this necessary. If the vessel is cooked a long time in a bath of brine, in which a higher temperature may be obtained than in water, and then sealed dramatically, the corn will keep. I do not find a satisfactory recipe for canning beets.
