Canning Corn,

If YOU would serve canned corn this
winter at less than 10 cents can
take day off and do your own can
ming.
A bushel and half or two bushels
of corn in the husks will make "a
solidIy packed pints of corn and each
pint will serve six persons.
Dried corn is an old fashioned dish
that few housekeepers appreciate
these days. 1t has a delicious nutty
sort of taste quite unusual. If there
are two or three ears of corn left
from dinner. scrape the corn from
the cob and spread thinly on drip
ping pan or pie pans and dry slowly
In the oven while making toast. When
brittle, store In clean paper bags You
will be surprised how soon you will
have two or three cups of dried corn
And a. cup Of dried corn will serve
four persons when prepared for a
meal. This is an excellent way to use
leftover corn during the season.
Canned Corn
Husk corn and carefully pick out
silk. Put corn into large kettle of
boiling water and boil 10 minutes,
The kettle should be big enough to
comfortably contain the corn and al
low each ear to be immersed in water.
Drain from boiling water and plunge
into cold water, Let stand one min
ute and drain.
This blanching process is not alb
solutely necessary for corn, but it in
sures keeping and makes firm indi-
vidual kernels. Corn that Is to be
used in made dishes is quite as sat-
isfactory if canned without blanching
and does save time to eliminate two
landings.
After blanching. cut corn from cob
This must be done carefully that no
hard portions of the kcrney arc
scraped out. Cut the tops from the
kernels and scrape out the hearts with
the blunt side of the knife. Pack in
Jars, add ] teaspoon salt and l tea
spoon sugar to a quart. t.
If corn is packed tightly, and this
saves cans and space, pour boiling
water over corn, filling can to within
y Of an inch from the top. Half seal
and process. Boil three hours in hot
water bath, counting from the time
the water begins to boil after putting
in cans
The cans will cool the water. The
water should cover the cans by at
least an inch. Add boiling water as
necessary. Keep cover on boiler dur
ing processing. Remove from boiler
and finish sealing. Cool as quickly as
possible, taking care that no draft
strikes the cans.
Corn for canning or drying should
be full grown but ''in the milk. As
corn ripens the milk sets and becomes
firm and the hulls of the kernels
grow hard. Corn in this state is not
satisfactory for canning. Immature
corn is tssteless and watery.
Dried Corn
Remove husks and silk, Blanch as
IN preceding recipe. Cut from cob.

They can be used year after wear for

upon a sand bar. The accident was
not serious and the vessel after a

But in the discussion of this occur

The matter would have to be re-
