Canning Corn and Beans

T am sending you my recipe for canning beans, also corn, which are both splendid. To can corn: Nine cups of corn one cup of sugar one-half cup of salt, two and one-half cups of water. Cook 20 minutes in a granite vessel and seal In cutting the corn off the cob, make but one cutting and you will find it preserves it's flavor better, as the salt will soften Kernels if they are too fine. To can beans: String, break and wash, as for cooking Then cook, salt to taste, and cook until al- most done. Have plenty of liquid over them. Place in jars. To two quart jars add one-half teacup of boiling vinegar, and finish filling the jar with the liquid in which they were cooked. If you don't like the vinegar taste. parboil thor oughly first Will readers of the H. H. c. please tell me how to can peas and asparagus at home. I am young wom- an and have been much helped by reading the Corner items, but I have always been timid about sending in recipes, although I've done canning and preserving for years. L. ""
 Your timidity Is needless. Any one who cans corn successfully is compe- tent to handle any other branch of the business. Follow your own rules in putting up asparagus, and you can give the Corner point"

the other old masters, who is considered the most adequate composer for that in strument?" I asked.
 'Hasselmans is undoubtedly the great est exponent of modern music for the harp" was the answer. Harp music, however, is in it's infancy, owing to the limitations of the harp up to the nine- teenth century,"
 I've often heard a harp compared to baby" said Mss Gilmore charmingly. Tt needs much attention. It certainly requires careful tuning and constant watching"
 Again very clever thing has been said by the inimitable MT. Huneker" Miss Gilmore continued, "who declared that the reason the plano had supplanted the harp in popularity was because 1t drowns small talk and after dinner conversa- tfon, whereas one must pay attention when the harp is played"
 Whom do you regard as the foremost harpist of the day?" I inquired.
 MT. Cortese is simply wonderful, as I've said" Miss Gilmore answered. 'He has splendid future and his playing is marvellous Ada Sassoli, Renie and Sal zado are others who are great artists' "One's technique the harp-is it not much more difficult than the piano?" asked.
 First of all, position is the foundation, :" MISS Gilmore said. 'Once acquired, the rest Is easier. Of course, pedalling has such a direct bearing on the harp that 1t predominates also. The feet, the hands, the head, the mind-all are employed. A great musical genius, noted for his wit, has said. comparing the harp and the piano, that the piano lends itself more readily to the insults offered in the mod ern music room than the harp, and be- sides, the piano has the advantage of be- ing stronger and more useful as a piece of furniture and can be used as a gen. eral catch-all. from hat pins to the fam fly album. Perhaps that might answer the question why so few people choose the harp as their favorite instrument"

tess. He, you know, was one of Hassel- mans latest pupils, and one of his fa- vorites That, of course, means every thing for HasSelmans was the greatest exponent of the harp. He was adored in Paris and everywhere he was known, in fact MT. Cortese Is very young. and besides his concert tours, he teaches in Memphis, where he has more than 20 pu- pills on the harp
 That seems a bit unusual" I sug- gested, "as the harp is so infrequently chosen as a solo instrument"
 And that is so odd, isn't it?' asked Miss Gilmore. Tt is such a beautiful instrument. Of course. it has no rival save the piano, the two being similar, on account of being built on the diatonic scale. But 1t is not so mechanical as the piano. Perhaps the fact that it takes so many, many years to master the harp is one reason of its lack of popularity as a solo instrument. Some great harpist upon being asked how many years were re- quired to make any heacway at all on the harp answered quickly:
 Seven; one for each pedal'
 -Im glad I learned to dance in my younger days" said Miss Gilmore, with the air of a Methuselah, ''and also that I know the modern dances. It helps me lot in my pedalling.. As a matter of fact, the evolution of the harp has been nothing short of marvellous. In 1920 Se- bastian Erard was responsible for what is known as the double action harp, making the sharps and flats and thus changing it two tones. This rendered the harp more versatile as a solo instrument giv- ing 1t an advantage over the old one-key arrangement. Beethoven, who made the orchestra as one instrument in the hands of the composer, did not care for the harp, and that fact Is often quoted against it. But that was because the harp was only perfected about seven years before his death and therefore at the time of his unfortunate deafness"
 With Beethoven not writing music Tor the harp" I observed, "and few of

Clam Chowder

T am inclosing a recipe for clam chowder: One-half pound of salt pork. one pound of bacon, four onions cut into small pieces and fried a golden brown, two quarts or more of boiling water. Put in the fried onion. bacon and pork. Cut into dice potatoes. then add Season with salt and add half can of corn, half can of peas half can of tomatoes, one and one-half clans. The clans go in at the last Boil up. This makes one gallon of chowder.
 MRS. H. D. R."
 We are indebted to you for a recipe new and odd. I have never known that other vegetables besides potatoes and tomatoes were used in clam chowder And the quantity of clans seems dis proportionate to the bulk of other ma terials. My first thought in reading the formula was of the kings exclamation over the list rendered by Falstaff and his men. What, but one pennyworth of bread for this monstrous deal of sack! Yet all the ingredients of your chowder are excellent of their kind and the result must be savory compound for sensible picnic or "clam bake"

Kills Rats and Mice

Here are a few household hints that perhaps may be or use to the corner ites. know them personally. To rid the house rats and mice sprinkle chloride of lime, dry, about the en- trance of their haunts. Another rat re- mover is to get common dry sponge, in melted tallow, or meat gravy, which is better still. Place these bits within easy access for the rats. They will eat greedily. The moisture of their stomachs will cause the dry sponge to swell and kill them. Place water with in reach! That will hasten results, as sponge expands quickly. A cure for roup in chickens: Mix one ounce of oil of sassafras, one ounce of tincture of iron, one ounce of alcohol half an ounce of prickly ash fluid extract, and one-fouSth ounce of oil of anise. Put a teaspoonful into gallon of drinking water. This has been thoroughly tested and found to be excellent If directions are followed you will have no more trouble with roup. I am yours for the good for the Corner. MRS J. o. F'
 You prove your faith and love by your works The expedient for ridding the house of rats has the stamp of an cient usage. It seemed excruciatingly funny to me as a child, when I heard an eccentric neighbor extol it as the most effectual remedy for the pests he had ever tried He claimed it as his in- vention l believed it then. You incline me to doubt his word. All the same. it Is ingenious-and, as I said-comical.
 Soap as a Remedy
 T offer suggestions that may be of use to Cornerites. Any one whose beds are infested with bedbugs will find it great help, especially those who use wooden beds or springs with wooden parts. Take any kind of laundry soap that will soften readily in water, and with the softened cake draw it along the cracks and crevices till it entirely closes them; pressing down as you go along. As you know, the soap will harden as 1t dries; and bugs cannot get in or out. It will last for years. To exterminate them in the house, use corrosive sublimate, mixed with car bol1c acid. l use a small paint brush and daub it plentifully around all the doors, windows. frames, holdings, base- boards, etc. When dropped upon live vermin 1t will instantly kill them.
 MRS. R. F. T."
 AS notable housewives recall with inward groanings, the warm weather now upon us invites and encourages all sorts and conditions of detestable Insects to invade human habitations and destroy the comfort we consider is our just due after the rigors of winter are a thing of the past.
