CANNING SWEET CORN ON COB
Blanch in boiling water S to 10 mil

Blanch in boiling water to 10 min
utes, according to ripeness, size, and
freshness; plunge quickly in cold water.
Pack. alternating butts and tips add
lust a little boiling water and one level
teaspoonful of salt to each quart. Place
rubber and top and partially tighten.
(Cap and tip tins. Process $50 to Z4O
minutes in hot water bath; / y hours
water seal outfit; go minutes under tve
or more pounds of steam; 40 minutes IN
aluminium pressure cooker. Remove jars,
tighten covers, invert, and cool. Heat
up for table use in steamer, not in water.
If corn seems fiat or water-logged, it has
been overlooked or allowed to stand in
too much water.
Use one or two quart glass jars if not
needed for other products. Quart jars
will hold two ears, 2-quart jars will hold
from three to five ears, according to size
of ear. Do not can large ears. Half
gallon or gallon tin cans with large open
ings should be used in the canning of ear
corn when idle glass jars are not availa-
BILE Gallon tin cans will hold from o
to u ears. They should be graded to
uniform size.
/ It will be necessary to increase the time
requirements in the canning of sweet
corn about rs per cent, If water boils at
about 2O2 degrees Fahrenheit and even
/ less.
In the average home a large number
of glass jars are idle every year. The
use of these idle jars is recommended,
but if none are available, the most econ
omical and practical containers are the
half-gallon and the gallon tin can.
The gallon tin cans, including soldered
hemmed caps, will cost about six cents
apiece, but they will hold six to twelve
ears of corn, which is enough for a good
sized family. If the corn is removed
from can and steamed for a few minute:
it cannot be distinguished from the swee
corn removed from the husk in midsum
mer. The corn can be heated in the
container before opening to serve.
An ear of sweet corn on the average
dining-c car and hotel a la carte service
costs IS cents. Considering this, canning
corn on the cob for the market nigh
prove a very profitable investment for I
thrifty housekeeper and bring to he
considerable pin money.
One advantage of sweet corn canned
on the cob over other canned corn is tina
all the best food values are kept with thu
cob. In cutting corn off the germ quail
ity of the kernel, which keeps up it
standard, is usually lost. This germ
quality is the part of the corn that i
sought by rats and mice when they lool
for food in the corn bin, and is the mos
vital part. Much of the corn is also rem
dered mushy when it is cut from tn
cob.
In regard to the container for corn Of
the cob it might be mentioned that 70
advertising and exhibition purposes glas
is much more satisfactory than the til
can, but if corn on the cob were to be pu
up in large quantities as business ven
ture, the glass would not be practical
being too expensive, but the tin can
would prove quite satisfactory.

u. S. GIVES RECIPE
FOR CANNING CORN.

The following seasonable recipes for
the canning Of corn have proven both
practical and economical for the house
wife. The recipes have been worked
out in the departments canning kitchen
and the products tested for nearly two
years.
These recipes have been used IN con-
nection with the five different types OF
canning devices and the corn has been
put up in all types of retainers, such as
glass top, screw top, suction top and TIN
cans. The method employed as the cold
PACK method, the same as is now being
used in the best commercial factories OF
the world. instead of requiring the labor
ious and tedious method Of fractional
sterilization of an hour each day for three
consecutive days and the lifting OF the
products in and out of the canning de-
vices three times. The method now em-
ploved contemplates but one sterilization
and turns out the product in better shape,
with better color, texture and flavor than
the fractional sterilization method.
By following these recipes and method
the family can have corn, either on or
off the cob, throughout the year at
very reasonable expense Of time, energy
and money.

Remove husk, silk, shank, tips, and
injured or defective places. Blanch corn
in boiling water or steam chest for from
five TO ten minutes. The time depends
upon the stage of ripeness, size OF ears
and degree of freshness. Remove the
ears and plunge quickly in cold water.
Cut the corn from the cob with sharp,
