CANNING CORN ON
AND OFF THE COB

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 to ) ears, according
to size of ear. Do not can large ears.
Half gallon or gallon tin cans with
large openings should be used in the
canning of ear corn when idle glass
jars are not available. Gallon tin
cans will hold from to u ears. They
should be graded to uniform size.
In high attitudes, 1000 feet or over,
it will be necessary to increase the
tine requirements in the Gaming Of
sweet corn about 25 per cent, if wa
ter boils at about 202 Farenheit and
even less.
In the average home large number
of glass jars are idle every year The
use of these idle jars is recommended,
but if none are available, the most
economical and practical containers
are the half-gallon and the gallon tin
can.
The gallon tin cans, including sold
ered-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
lis removed from can and steamed for
a few minutes, it cannot be disting-
'uished from sweet corn removed from
the husk in midsummer. The corn
can be heated in the container before
opening to serve.
An ear of sweet corn on the average
dining car and hotel a la carte service
costs 20 cents. Considering this, can
ming corn on the cob for the market
might prove a very profitable invest
ment for thrifty housekeeper and
bring her considerable pin-money.
One advantage of sweet corn canned
on the cob over other canned corn, is
that all the best food values are kept
with the cob. In cutting corn off,
the germ quality of the kernel, which
keeps up its standard, is usually lost.
This germ quality is the part of the
corn that is sought by rats and mice
when they look for. food in the corn
bin, and is the most vital part. Much
of the corn is also rendered mushy
when it is cut from the cob.
In regard to the container for corn
on the cob, it might be mentioned that
for advertising and exhibition pur-
poses glass is much more satisfactory
than the tin can, but if corn on the
cob were to be put up in large guam
titles as a business venture, the glass
would not be practical, being too ex-
pensive, but the tin cans would prove
quite satisfactory.

Houses today, in general, are not SO
large as they used to be. when meas
ured by size alone. The increasing
cost Of lumber, labor, and ether build
Ing items of expense have induced
many economies; but inventive srchi-
tects have made better use Of the
smaller space, so that an eight-room
modern house contains great deal
more convenience than an eight-room
house built twenty years ago, although
the outside dimensions OF the older
house may be very much the larger.
Twenty years study In this direction
has resulted In many improvements,
both In design and by the way OF ada.
ing multitude Of small conveniences.
Formerly little attention was pad
to the spacing of doors and windows
in order to admit of placing the furni-
ture conveniently or artistically. Only
Of late has the possibility Of small
house for comfort and convenience
been recognized. II requires a space
at least IL by feet to accommo-
date a good-sized, comfortable bed;
and this space should not be inter
fered with by placing windows or
doors in the way. The advancing price

QUICK THINKING SAVED DAY

ton, and He Old Il.

At a banquet of the ministers OF
New York, Doctor Johnston Of the
Morrisania church, told this story:
One OF the members Of my church
has instilled into his family the belief
that the collection Is a vitality impor
tant part OF the service.
Consequently his little boy Thomas
never comes to church without his
contribution.
One Sunday, as the elders began to
take up the collection at the morning
service, Thomas looked along the pew
to see II the various members of the
family were provided with contribu'
ton.
Noticing a guest of his sisters emp,
ty-handed, he whispered:
Where Is your money!
I have none was the reply.
Time was short and the necessity
great. In flash the little fellow met
the emergency by saying:
Here take mine! That'll pay for
you, and I'll get under the seat
And, fiinging his own coin into her
lap. he disappeared under the pew,
where he remained until the elder had
gone by-and the reputation Of the
family was saved. Maya.

may creep In; but where windows are
plentiful there is an inducement to
open one, even in cold weather, and
this is a greater blessing than some
persons realize. In building house,
the subject OF ventilation should be
very carefully considered.
Another point that is often over
looked Is in selecting plan which ad-
mits Of placing the living rooms and
bedrooms that are used the most, on
the south side of the house. The hall.
stairway, and some other rooms that
are not used so much may Just as well
face the north. Sunlight is a great
purifier. The direct rays of the sun
will kill disease germs. and they are
the best disinfectant known. Besides
this, bright sunshine induces cheer.

when they broke they would bleed
