Canning Corn. 
In a late number of The R. N.-Y. I 
saw a request for a recipe for canning 
corn. 1 send mine, as 1 have seen none 
like it published in reply. I hope every¬ 
one who likes good corn will try it, as it 
is easily done, and we think the corn the 
finest we have ever had: Nine cupfuls of 
corn, cut off the cob; one cupful sugar; 
one-half cupful salt; one-quarter cupful 
water. Cook for 10 minutes; can while 
boiling hot. When preparing it for the 
table soak over night in cold water.

Plea for Simple Summer Cooking 
When one sees the elaborate dishes de¬ 
scribed and illustrated in some of the wo¬ 
men’s magazines, one is filled with won¬ 
der and admiration of the skill that pro¬ 
duces such delicate and artistic creations. 
At the same time, however, the question 
arises, “Does it pay?” and after due con¬ 
sideration comes the answer, “No, it 
doesn’t ” For the farmer’s wife who does 
her own work, it seems little short of sui¬ 
cidal to try to get up these elaborate 
dishes. If one’s appetite is natural—and 
that is the kind that farmers usually 
have—plain fare will be just exactly as 
satisfactory. In Summer we do not need 
very rich food. If one has berries or 
fruit, and milk, good entire wheat bread, 
good butter and perhaps creaih, what 
more could be wanted for supper? Any 
considerate man—and one of the other 
kind is not worth putting one’s self out 
for—would prefer a supper of this kind 
rather than a more elaborate one in the 
preparation of which his wife has over¬ 
tired herself. In Summer there are so 
many extra things to do, and the heat 
taxes one’s strength so. that if a woman 
can favor herself a little she certainly 
should do so. If she must indulge in 
fancy cooking, let it be in Winter when 
there is not so much to occupy her.

Four Catsup Recipes 
Cucumber Catsup.—For a small quan¬ 
tity take 12 fine full-grown cucumbers and 
lay them an hour in cold water. Then 
pare them and grate them down in a 
deep dish. Grate also six small onions 
and mix them with the grated cucum¬ 
ber; season the mixture to your taste 
with pepper, salt and vinegar, making it 
of the consistency of jam. When thor- 
ouughly mixed put it in a glass jar, 
cover closely so that it will be perfectly 
air-tight. It will be found very nice to eat 
with beef or mutton, and if properly made 
and tightly covered it will keep well. Tt 
should he grated very fine, and the vinegar 
must be real cider vinegar. 
Southern Mixed Catsup.—Peel and cut 
up enough crisp, green cucumbers to till 
a half-gallon measure, sprinkle with salt 
and let stand six hours, press the water 
from them and scald in weak vinegar. 
Prepare half a gallon of cabbage in the 
same way. Chop one dozen small onions, 
cover with boiling water and let stand 
half an hour. Cut in slices one quart 
of green tomatoes, one pint of green 
beans, one dozen small ears of tender 
corn and one dozen green peppers. Scald 
and drain them. Mix two tablespoonfuls 
of grated horse-radish, one teacupful of 
ground mustard, two cupfuls of white 
mustard seed, three tablespoonfuls of tur¬ 
meric, one of mace, three of celery seed, 
one of cinnamon, one of cayenne, two of 
olive oil and one pound of sugar. Put in 
a jar with the prepared vegetables and 
cover with boiling vinegar. 
Red Pepper Catsup.—Two dozen pods 
of red pepper; put in a preserve kettle 
with a half pint of strong vinegar and a 
pint of water; set on the stove and let 
come to a boil. Add one root of grated 
horse-radish, three sliced onions, six 
whole cloves and one-half ounce of white 
mustard seed. Let boil 10 minutes longer 
and strain. Put back in the kettle with a 
half teacupful of brown sugar, one ounce 
of celery seed and a pint of strong vine¬ 
gar. Boil one hour, then bottle. This 
catsup will keep any length of time. 
Green Tomato Catsup.—One peck of 
green tomatoes and two large onions 
sliced. Place them in layers, sprinkling 
salt between; let them stand 24 hours and 
then wash and drain them. Add a quar¬ 
ter of a pound of mustard seed, one ounce 
allspice, one ounce cloves, one ounce 
ground mustard, one ounce ground gin¬ 
ger, two tablespoonfuls black pepper, two 
teaspoonfuls celery seed, a quarter of a 
pound of brown sugar. Put all in pre¬ 
serving pan, cover with vinegar and boil 
two hours; then strain through a sieve 
and bottle for use:
