Tlie use of corn on the cob is not a new idea. It is well known and 

 practised in other countries. We have been backward in making 

 greater use of it and the necessities of the war may well result in our 

 adopting better methods which we shall continue to follow in times 

 of peace. 



TO STOKE CORN, BLACK EYE PEAS, Etc. 



Thoroughly dry in the sun or otherwise, and be sure that there are no 

 weevils present. Place in clean, well dried receptacles such as demi- 

 johns, petrol drums, kerosine oil tins, casks, etc., and seal uj). Examine 

 monthly and if weevils are found place a little ant poison (carbon 

 bisulphide) on a piece of cloth, or in a shallow tin or saucer, on the top 

 of the corn or peas. Close up the vessel for at least twenty-four hours 

 and then air the contents for a short time if the seed is to be used for 

 sowing ; if not the vessel need not be opened.
