The America Electric Cleaner

NOME DAY, when women have
more to say about building,
there will be fewer grooves in
mouldings to dig out-no Moorish
fretwork in hollow squares, where
dirt is boarded, and radiators will
not be constructed SO that it takes
surgical operation of several hours
to clean them. In short, all unneces-
sary decoration, so-callcd, and all
unsanitary construction will vanish
when the people who do the cleaning
have anything to say about home
building. More women architects
wanted, please! Or more missionary
work among the men in the profess
sion.
Until then the special attachments
OF the vacuum cleaners and their
versatile power to get at dirt by sue
ton, blowing, sweeping and brush
ing, and by all sorts of long necked
and straight and crooked tools that
search out corners and cracks and
cfevlces are woman's only hope.
digging out the corners" is nov

nor the lovers of green corn this
delicious vegetable, served with
plenty of good butter, can al
most form meal in itself, and indee |,
with corn selling at about 60 cents
dozen ears, the remainder of the menu
must be planned along economical lines
If green corn is to be served ad lib
itum in the daily menus.
In boiling corn be sure that the water
is actively boiling and salted; then put
in the ears, from which the husk and
silk has been taken, again heat quickly
to the boiling point and let boil rapidly
for six minutes longer.
1t must be remembered that if the
sugar is lost during standing or cooking,
the corn is tasteess. 1t should go from
the parent stalk to the kettle as quickly
as possible; if left husked in a hot
kitchen for an hour or two much of the
natural sweetness will have departed.
Corn lends itself to many methods of
cooking, and, combined with milk, eggs
or cheese, it IS particularly good. A bit
of minced green pepper, tomatoes or pi-
mentos are always a good addition to
any made corn dish, the blended havors
giving most appetizing zest.
In preparing the. baked steamed corn
strip back the husks (but leave them
on(, then remove the silk carefully, re-
place the husks and soak in cold water
for couple of hours. Have the oven
very hot, lay the corn in a dripping pan
and cover the pan tightly. Let steam
for about fifteen minutes and send to
the table covered with napkin. This
is one of the best ways of cooking green
corn.
Two of the fish dishes are worthy of
special mention. For the baked peppers

Corn and Beans in the Can

use of too old and too large a prod
uct. Catch the beans as small,
young and fresh as possible. Cut
them diagonally into two-inch
lengths if larger beans must be
used. Also for these the addition of
a hot brine made by boiling 2.5
ounces of salt in one gallon of wa
ter is suggested.
All of ones care is in vain unless
good rubbers are used. Do not try
to economic by using last years
rubbers or cheap ones-it may cost
you your whole pack.
Special Directions for Canning Corn
Remove husk and silk. Blanch by
placing the ears Of corn in boiling
water for five minutes. Dip quickly
IN cold water (never allow the corn
to soak) and cut at once from the
cob, packing in hot, sterilized jars,
and placing them in the Gamer one
by one. Do not let some stand while
others are being packed. Add boil
ing water to overlooking, one tea
spoonful of salt, put on the rubbers
and the cover partially sealed
, (Give half a turn to the left with a
Mason jar and leave the side clamp
up with the Lightning type.)
Be sure that the water is three
inches over the top Of the jars and
keep the jars immersed throughout
the process. Bring to a boil and
keep boiling for three hours in a
water bath; with water seal cam
ner give two hours; with five pounds
OF steam pressure, ninety minutes,
and with ten to fifteen pounds pres
sure one hour.
On taking the corn from the can
ner complete the seal, invert and
cool in a place where there is no
draft to cause breakage. Store in a
cool and dark place.
Special Directions for Cannins
String Beans
String and sort string beans
carefully, so that large and small
beans will not be mixed. Blanch in
live steam rather than in boiling
water. Suspend in cheesecloth bag
or in sieve over boiling water and
cover for five to ten minutes. Dip
quickly in cold water (use a piece of
ice in water, if possible). Pack at
once in hot, sterilized jars, fill to
overlooking with hot water and add
one teaspoonful of salt, or fill with
brine made by boiling 2.5 ounces of
salt in one gallon of water. Place
rubbers (kept standing in hot wa
teri and tops in position, make par
tial seal, and place in Gamer sub
merged at least three inches.
Process for two hours in the wa
ter bath-ninety minutes in the wa
ter seal, sixty minutes under five
pounds of steam pressure and forty
minutes under ten pounds pressure.
If the intermittent method is
used process for three days one
hour each day, Tightening seal when
taken from Gamer and partially
loosening it again when it is re-
placed for renewed processing. Same
time for corn.

NHERE are certain fundamen-
tai precautions to be observed

tai precautions to be observed
in canning corn, and no
amount Of after care can correct the
results if these are neglected. Corn
loses it's sweetness on standing, and
if you can old, hard, starchy corn,
it will not improve in the can, and
it is very difficult to keep it from
spelling Be sure that the corn is
young and tender, and have it as
fresh as possible.
Again, most products shrink I'M
der processing, but corn swells, and,
therefore, the jars should not be
packed tightly. Leave half an inch
to an inch (pints and quarts) for
the swelling of the starch grains.
To further emphasize this point
comes the report of Miss Castle in
the June journal of Home Eco
nomics," suggesting that only loose
ly packed jars be used in canning
anything by the usual home meth
DDS, as such a pack insures a high
er temperature in the centre of the
jar, which otherwise may be below
the boiling point. Miss Castle also
emphasizes the Importance of the
depth of the water bath.
All advocates of the cold pack
method insist that the water be we'll
above the top of the jars Zone to
three inches) and be kept there.
Blanching and cold dipping are
important to insure initial cleanli-
ness and some shrinkage before
packing, thus giving fuller jar at
the end of the operation.
There is danger in canning that
the processing time will be counted
when water is not actually boiling.
Whether the cans are put into boil
ing water or at a lower tempera-
tpre, be sure that the time of
processing is only counted from the
time that the water boils, and that
the heat does not fall if you are
using other than a gas or oil stove.
Only the time of boiling counts in
the sterilizing.
Good materials, quick, clearly
work (not ordinary visible kitchen
cleanliness, but the archaeological
cleanliness Of the laboratory, and
a: faithful following of directions
will, we believe (and the belief is
based on experience), give just as
good results with the cold-pack,
one period method as with the in
termittent method which is much
more iaborious, especially in hand
ling large quantities, and is apt to
give an overlooked product.
