of time. The center of the can must
reach the highest degree of heat posi-
BILE, and they cannot reach that tenn
perature unless the surrounding water
is boiling all of the given time. Let
the cans stand until the next day, then
put them in cold water bath and
cook for half an hour after the water
begins to boil repeat the treatment
on the third day. Tighten the covers
if possible, while contents Of jars are
still boiling hot; wipe and set away
where there is no draft and allow to
cool.
The first boiling if properly done
will kill the living germs, but the
spores will remain unaffected By
the second and third days all of the
spores will have reached the vegeta-
tive stage, in which they reproduce,
and may then be exterminated by con-
tinued boiling heat. It a single germ
is left alive in the food after boiling,
the canning will be failure, because
these invisible enemies Of the house
wife grow and multiply so rapidly
that one left alive will speedily cause
a large amount Of food to spoil. This
is. the only sure process of canning this
vegetable without the use of chemi-
Gals. Success may sometimes attend
the other methods but great deal Of
uncertainty must always exist. If no
germs Of this kind happen to be pres
ent all will be well, but if they are
present, all is lost Another favorable
feature OF this method is that as the
cans are sealed all the time, there is
no danger Of contamination from the
air OF other sources after the canning
process begins.

CANNING CORN.

Institutes, St Anthony Park,
St. Paul, MINI.
Corn has always been considered the
most difficult of vegetables to can sue
cessfully. By the methods commonly
used at least some cans almost spoil.
The bacteria sometimes found upon
the green corn are more resistant
than those found IN any other vegeta-
BILE.
When ready to can corn, select ears
in project roasting ear stage and with
a sharp knife score each row Of grains,
cut very thin slice from the end of
all the grains, and with kitchen
knife Tor the back of sharp knife)
scrape the rest of the cob. For each
quart of corn, put into the kettle a
pint of water and half tablespoonful
Of salt; put corn to cook and add boil
ing water as it evaporates. It should
be as watery as commercial canned
corn usually is. Let 1T cook for fifteen
or twenty minutes after it actually
boils all through. Watch and stir
with wooden spoon to prevent burn
ing but do not allow it to stop boil
ing.
When it has boiled for twenty min
utes fill sterllized jars and seal. Then
place the cans in pan of hot water,
having the water extend up to the
rims and let it boil for half an hour,
being sure that it does boil that length

A Good Young Hog.

In conversation with the News
reporter this week, |. w. Nc
Clure of this city said that he
thought that Kaffir corn was the
ideal feed for hogs as it was GER
tainly fattening food and that
every bit of the grain was di-
gested. To substantiate his be-
lief he stated that he had just
killed a hog less than a year old
which had never been fed any
grain other than kaffir corn and
that the hog netted 324 pounds
after being dressed. Mr.. Nc
Clure is believer in the Pan
handle as a hog raising country.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.

Merry Christmas, readers of
the Randall County News. This
is the last message we can send
you before the beginning of the
New Year. Old 1905 has nearly
run his race. In a few days he
will pass onward and we shall
not see him 90 without regret
in many things.
All of US have a good deal to
thank the old year for. He has
given US what is probably the
greatest crop we have ever
known. In that way he has Law
ished wealth upon US without
stint. Also, he has given most
of US the very best of health.
What use is it to recall the I'M
pleasant things we might have
had during the year? None.
Life is best when we remember
only the good things and let the
other things pass by in oblivion.
So, this year, let US enjoy Christ
mas.
We can sit around the table,
eat our turkey, cranberry sauce
and other goodies" and be glad
that life is so good; that there is
much more sunshine than cloud
as the weather bureau record
proves that we are healthful
more than we are i'll, and that,
as a nation, we will not be plung-
ed into politics for four more
years at least.
That's something, isn't il! It's
a good deal, when We stop to
think of il. There have been

One of our subscribers met the
editor on the street the other
day and requested him either to
make the paper smaller or num-
Der the pages so that he would
know when he had read it all.
He claimed that it was so large
that by the time he read it
through he had forgotten what
was in the first page. Either the
paper must be a whopper or else
the news given is not of the

Has Two Fingers Badly Mashed.

II. l.. Wagner, manager for the
Canyon City Mattress Factory,
had the misfortune to have two
of his fingers on his right hand
very badly mashed last Satur-
day afternoon. In attempting to
fix some of the machinery his
first and second fingers were
caught in a cog wheel and the
flesh and nails badly torn. While
the SGdnds were very paln1ul IL
is not thought that he will lose
either finger.
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-12-25

Confidence is the by-worl of
the people of this county at the
present time. And it does not
have to be spoken either for any
person to know that the entire
population of the county have the
utmost confidence in this coun-
try as a farming district. In
fact it is farming district and
a good one right now and we
only need more farmers-one
for each quarter section-when
this county will certainly be the
banner county of the state.
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-12-25

Now we are at the end of the
year and we must stop and cal
culate somewhat upon what we
have done during the past twelve
months. Have we done as much
toward the advancement of the
interests of the city as we
should? Have we organized a de-
partment for the preservation of
property and possibly of lives
from the ravages of flames? Do
we realize that the longer we
wait about this matter the great
err will be the hazard to all the
business property as well as the
residences of the city? The
more business houses that are
erected-and are being erected
rapidly-the more property
there is exposed to the flames of
fire which will surely come soon
er or later. Let's get to work
for once and organize a depart
ment before the bells shall ring
out the old and ring in the new
year.

lots of worse years than 1908.
You bet.
And the new year, 1909-what
does he hold for us? Good luck,
let us hope good luck, prosper
ity, peace and plenty.
Did you ever notice that life is
a good deal what we make of it?
It's a fact. Ever notice, too, that
the children laugh a great deal
more than they cry-that the
birds sing most of the time they
are awake-that it's easy to get
the smile habit?
However, this isn't a sermon
the editor merely got into a re-
Elective mood. He's got it out of
his system now and is able to do,
at last, what he started out to do
at first = wish you a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New
Year-a prosperous one too.
We hope you will enjoy your
Christmas as much as when you
were young and that when you
balance the books on the first of
January you will find a good gen
erous profit laughing at you
from the balance sheet-not a
profit in material wealth alone
but a profit in the wide expert
ence of happiness.

UNCLE SANS POST OFFICE.
Anew Moments Spent Within the Building Re-
veals Many Harassing and Funny
Things to the News Man.

AS is often the case the News
reporter is apt to bob up most
anywhere in his search for items
of interest to the people who
read our columns. Last Tues
day the rep" chased himself
over to the Post office and en-
deavored to get a few moments
conversation with Post Master
Hunt. Nothing doing. AT least
nothing doing so far as the re-
porter getting time to have any
conhab with the worthy p. NJ.
Say, if you were never behind
the bars in the post office during
holiday rush you had better
make friends with some post
master and get in there for about
fifteen minutes. That will be
long enough for anybody. Every
kind of question is asked, mail
is to be received and sent out,
letters to be stamped, parcels to
be weighed, money orders to be
issued and regis try packages to
be looked after and these are
only o lew of the many things
which happen inside that the out
side, knows barely a thing about.
The reporter tried to wait un-
til the rush was over but soon
found out that it was useless SO
he pulled out his watch and
timed himself for just fifteen
minutes and here is what happen
ed to the two men waiting upon
the windows over there.
Seventeen people asked for
their mail. One Mexican asked
for ia carta de Mexicana.' Two
people wanted their private boxes
opened. And many other things
The reporter tried to keep up
with the questions asked and
here is a record which he takes
from his note book, and this does
not include the asking for mail.
What is the difference in rate
for sealed and unsealed packages:
How many stamps will it take
for this?
Loan me pencil please:
Do | have to put my name on
a registered package:
Gimme - cents worth stamp
ed envelopes and ) postal cards.
What's the postage on this?
If a registered package is lost
