The Registers recent bona fide in
formation as to the proper method of
eating corn from the cob has called
forth the following comment. 1t is APP
parently from the pen of II who
knows: Your item in last weeks
Register relative to proper method of
eating corn on the cob is quite well
taken. However, your picturesque de-
scription was lacking in one point,
namely, how to keep from soiling ones
ears when eating corn according to
your directions. You forget the fact
that your ears are closer to the ex-
IRENE corners of you mouth than are
those of Mr.. Berkshire Hog. | am
anxiously awaiting your solution of
this dificulty."-G. S.-Agricultural
