Corn Requires Care.
Corn seems to give the most trouble,
but with a little care and study this
product may be canned as easily as
Iny other. Select corn that is just be-
tween the milk and the dough stage.
Blanch not longer than five minutes.
A plunge in cold water is sutficient.
Cut the corn from the cob with a
sharp knife and pack at once in
otsrilised jars. ~Best results can be
accomplished when two people cut and
one person fills. if working alone. cut
oi! sufficient corn to fill one jar, pour
on boiling water, add salt, place. rub-

jar at once in the canner. a little

ed has a cheesy appearance after
canning. Corn should never be allow-
ed to remain in the told dip and large
quantities should not be dipped all one
time unless sufficient help is availa-
ble to handle the product quickly.
Waterlogged or soaked corn indicates
slow and inefficient packing.
Faded Beets.
The older the beet the more chance
there is for loss of color. Leave on
1 inch of the stem and all of the tail
while blanching. Blanch not more
than five minutes and cold dip. To
remove the skin the beet should be
scraped, not peeled. Beets should
be packed whole it possible. Well-
canned beets will show a slight loss
of color when removed from the can-
ner, but will brighten up in a few days.
Small beets that run 40 to the quart
are the most suitable size lor first ,
class packs.
Ohrinkage of Greens.
This is usually due to insudlcient
‘ blanching during the canning process.
The proper way to blanch all greens
or pot herbs is in a steamer or in a
'vessel improvised to do the blanching
in live steam above the water line. if
this in done, a high percentage of
mineral salts and volatile oil is re-
mined by the product. i

Water for Home Canning.
'l‘lle hardening of beans, peas. and
some other products after cooking or
processing. or the turning of green
vegetables to a dark olive or russet‘
color, usually indicates that the wa-.
ter contains too higll a percentage of
mincral matter. Water used for can-
ning purposes should be pure, soft]
and as free as possible from objection-i
able and excessive quantities of min-i
cral matter. if a large quantity of‘
food products is to be canned and
then- is difficulty with the watcr’avail-
