The canning demonstration at the
Ridge last week attracted quite a
gathering and doubtless furnished
most of those present with useful in
formation regarding the various pro-
eesses exemplffied. While the putting
UP of fruits and vegetables in glass
jars has always been one of the reg
ular household tasks of the season
hereabouts very much more Of the
work will be done this year than ever
before. In reference to the winter
keeping of vegetables here is some
thing about sweet corn which is per-
haps not generally known. Instead of
cooking the corn, scraping it from the
cob and sealing in jars just place the
ears, tips downward, in tub, barrel
or other clean receptacle Of sufficient
size and cover with a brine Of about
the strength used in picking hams.
BY wedging the ears tightly in the
different layers they will keep their
place until wanted. The method is
said to provide corn for winter con-
sumption as toothsome as II the ears
has just been picked from the stalk.
1t is also method which saves lot
OF trouble as compared with the. can
ing process.

Once upo a time there was a wicked
little mike who lived in the neighbours
back yard. He hated the second girl
because she failed to put butter in the
porridge she left for him on the window
ledge. "Oleomargarine is good enough
for a mike" she said to herself as she
opened the window n set the bowl
outside; besides he will never know
the difference But it is easier to de
ceive a whole boarding house than a
mike. He did know very we'll. and
while swallowing his porridse he
grumbled so loud that the second girl
thought a storm was coming up over
the lake.
Now. the mike resolved to be avenged
and when the second girl announced
her engagement to the grocer's boy he
thought his chance had come. She
shan't have him. he cried with Il twist
of his head that made him look awry
for d week: she shall marry a tom cat
first and meow to the o
SO he set his wicked little wits to
work to prevent the marriage. He
slipped softly underground and dug
some scarlet roots With which he had
murdered his, grandmother and made "a
dark brown stew and put seventy-seven
drops i'm the second girls tea. Then
he stood behind the door and waited
for her to turn green. But she

But the second girl stepped softly
down the cellar stair. and when she
came to an obstruction, picked it up
like a sensible She carried
it out of doors and almost tainted away.
IF it ISN'T gold.' She cried-so loud
that the cook ran out to see h was
the matter. 1T must be my kind lit
tie friend the NIKE who put it there!"
the second girl exclaimed: and it will
pay for my trousseau and set my hus-
ban up in business. Well be as rich
as cheese.'
So she bought fine silks and laces
and got all ready for the wedding.
BY this time the mike was sadly put
to it for n plan. and his face was
screwed up into a number of hard
knots with thinking. AT last he clapped
his hand ON his knee and shouted, g"
have it. I'll put a big bee in the groc-
cry boys bonnet and he'll be too proud
to marry a servant girl"
So he chose q wonderful purple bee,
with wings of green and yellow, n
the bee stung the grocer's boy right
over the left ear. SO he saw everything
Very clearly and dreamed dreams that
he had never dreamed before. 1T is

smacked her lips and told the cook the
tea was better than King solomon
served TO his wives. and as she drank
It her cheeks grew SO pink and her-eyes
SO bright that she o preltier han
ever.
Thereupon the mike behind the door
doubled up with pain, squeezing him
self so tight hat his right foot stuck
in his left eye and he had to hop home
on the other leg. "Ill fix her YETI he
squealed. and once more he kicked his
way into his underground kingdom INC

he dragged up to h light of day and
was surprised to find it the color OF

So he ran and old the second girl,
and they We're married next day by a

wedding-only he was too mad to go,
and moreover he didn't like priests.
And very soon. indeed, the happy pair
