METHODS OF CANNING CORN 



young corn flavor. The weight of the con- 

 tents should be about 21 ounces. If put 

 up in 'Maryland style,' the kernels should 

 be separate and the brine nearly clear and 

 the corn shbuld weigh not less than 13.5 

 ounces, exclusive of the liquor. 



"A can of standard corn should be well 

 filled, reasonably tender, fairly bright color 

 or slightly brown, and nearly free from 

 silk, bits of cob or husk. The flavor should 

 be characteristic of young sweet corn. If 

 put up in 'Maryland style,' a part of the 

 kernels may be somewhat hardened and 

 the brine a little cloudy." * 



Lately there has been some advancement 

 in the canning of corn at home, and there 

 are a great many outfits on the market 

 which are useful for this purpose. The 

 steam pressure canning outfit ranges in 

 price from 310 up, according to the style 

 desired. It is possible, some people have 

 found out, to invest $7S or 3100 in one of 

 these canning outfits, and thereby increase 

 the returns from the corn in this way.
