SWEET CORN

Successful home canning Of sweet
corn depends upon carefui selection Of
tender. juicy corn In the milk stage.
Corn for canning should never stand
longer than few minutes after being
taken from the stalk. Corn which Is
past the milky stage or is stale is very
difficult to can.
Remove husk and silk. Blanch on
the cob by dipping into boiling water
from one to three minutes or until
milk Is set. Have clean hands. and all
utensils scalded. Cut corn on the cob.
Pack Immediately into previously boil
cd Jars to within one inch OF the top.
but do not pack too lightly. Add sea-
soning (one-thlrd level teaspoonful salt
and two-thirds teaspoonful sugar) to
each pint Of corn, and fill jars with
clear hot water. Paddle to allow
liquor to penetrate to the bottom of
the Jar and to remove all air bubbles.
Partially seal Jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure Is recommended. Process pint
Jars IN hours at is pounds pressure.
Seal Immediately, cool as rapidly as
possible, but do so In a place free from
drafts. Do not put Into cold water, as
the Jars will crack. When cold test
for leaks and store In a cool, dark, dry
place.
II the Intermittent process Is used,
boil pint jars 1is hours the first day
and one hour on the second and third
days. Loosen covers before each sub
sequent boiling, and seal completely
after boiling. Cool, test for leaks. and
store.
II the slngle.perlcd continuous boil

least three hours Seal. cool. test for
leaks. aud store.
Take every precauticn to have good
rubber and absolutely tight jars. Test
for leaks each time Jars become cold
und again "a hours after processing.
All Jars showing slightest slgn Of leaks
must be refitted with rubber and re-
procesSed.
Usually a betterflavored finished
corn product can be obtained hv drying
the corn instead Of canning it.--United

WOUNDS STITCHED BY ANTS
Ingenious Operation That Is Feature
Of Surgical Work Among the
Arabs Today.

The mandibles Of ants and Of sew
eral coleopterous insects. Scarites In
particular, have long been employed
In AsIatic surgery. This usage Is of
the most ancient date with the sur
geons Of India and is perpetuated In
our day In Algeria by the Arab opera
tors and to some extent by the Turks
in Asia and the Greek BARRIERS Of
Syria.
According to an English entomo-
logical journal, the barber presses
upon the edge Of the cut with the
fingers Of the left hand and applies
each ant by means Of forceps held
In the right hand. The mandibles
Of the ant are widely opened. the AMI
NAL being in the defensive attitude,
and as the insect is gradually brought
near the wound 1t seizes the pro-
jecting surface and Immediately forces
its mandibTes through the flesh. and
remains in this attitude, pressing the
one mandible against the other with
force and consequently holds the two
edges together. Then the barber sep
arates the head from the thorax with
sup of the scissors, and the head
with the mandlbles remaining in place
continues Its function while the thorax
and abdomen fall to the ground.
The same operation Is repeated with
other ants until at times there
may be dozen pairs Of mandlbles
n'accd at regular intervals, so that
through its whole length the skin Is
united by this very ingenious proce'
,hre. 'ihe heads are allowed to re
