Nonpareil Mayonnaise Salad Dressing. 
—This is given us as an especially good 
tested salad dressing, which never fails 
if the directions are followed: Put an 
egg on the ice three or four hours be¬ 
fore you need to use it. Set a soup 
plate in the refrigerator at the same 
time, and a bottle of salad oil. When 
ready to make the mayonnaise, free the 
yolk of the egg entirely from the white, 
and drop it upon the cold plate. Squeeze 
upon the yolk a teaspoonful of strained 
lemon juice, and begin to stir it into the 
egg with a chilled silver fork. Work 
slowly and steadily until the two are 
thoroughly blended, when drop in a very 
little salad oil. Add this gradually, a 
few drops at a time, working it in for 
a whole minute before you put in more. 
It should be quite thick before you pour 
in the oil by the teaspoonful. A cup¬ 
ful of oil, if properly incorporated, is 
not too much for a single egg. By now 
you should have a smooth golden cream. 
Season, at the last, with a pinch of pap¬ 
rika, or of white pepper, or, if desired, 
a smaller pinch of cayenne, a half tea¬ 
spoonful of salt, and half as much mus¬ 
tard as you have salt. This quantity of 
dressing will suffice for a quart of salad.

Canning Tomatoes and Corn. 
Will you tell me how to can tomatoes 
whole? I think there is some acid or pow¬ 
der used with what is called the raw 
method. I have always canned a large 
quantity, but for two years on the four¬ 
teenth and on to the twenty-first day they 
sour and ferment. I use the Mason can. 
I can from 60n to 700 cans of different 
fruits, but I cannot understand why this 
fermenting takes place. Also would you 
give a recipe for canning corn? 
was. D. A. T. 
Tomatoes arc canned whole, as fol¬ 
lows: Select smooth, firm frut, not 
over ripe, and of a size to slip into the 
jar. Peel without breaking and with 
as little scalding as possible. Have ready 
a preserving kettle of water only 
slightly _ salted, just enough to taste. 
Just as it reaches the boiling point drop 
the tomatoes into it, one layer at a 
time, and heat through. Do not let it 
come to a boil at any time. When 
thoroughly heated transfer tomatoes to 
the cans, being careful not to bruise 
them. Fill the cans with the hot salted 
water and screw the tops on quickly. 
Turn the cans over in a deep kettle 
of hot water until the rubbers are 
heated and set, which hermetically 
seals them. In using drain from the 
salt water, and use just like raw to-

00 YOU NEED FARM HELP ? 
The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid So¬ 
ciety has on its lists men wishing to obtain em¬ 
ployment on farms. Many of them are without 
experience. They are able-bodied and willing to 
work. If you can make use of such help, please 
communicate with us, stating what wages you will 
pay, whether the work is permanent, and whether 
you prefer a single or a married man, with or with¬ 
out experience. Ours is a philanthropic organiza¬ 
tion whose object is to assist and encourage Jewish 
immigrants to become farmers. We charge no 
commission to employer or employee. Address

Running Water on the Farm 
Tf there's a spring or flowing stream where you 
live, you can have running water in your home, 
stables, barn, troughs, etc., by installing a Ni¬ 
agara Hydraulic Ram. No cost to operate. Tho 
Niagara Hydraulic Ram 
keeps pumping all year round. Works 
itself, by self water pressure. Better than 
a windmill. Buy now; get more home 
comfort. Water stock better. Prices

niatoes; they are very nice for salads. 
No “powder” or “acid” should ever 
be used to preserve canned fruit; air¬ 
tight sealing and complete sterilization 
by heat are the requisites. Be sure 
that your jars are very thoroughly 
scalded, and the rubber rings perfect. 
We can tomatoes that are not expected 
to stay whole by cooking in the jars, 
and very rarely lose a jar. They are 
stored in a cool, dark cellar; we think 
light affects canned tomatoes injuri¬ 
ously. 
For canned corn, cut the kernels off 
the cob with a sharp knife, scraping 
out the pulp. Fill into the can a little 
at a time, pressing it down firmly until 
the milk overflows the can. Add a tea¬ 
spoonful of salt. When all are filled 
place the cans in a boiler and cook half 
an hour with the covers laid loosely 
on. Remove from the fire and seal, 
then cook two hours longer. The first 
cooking enables the corn to swell with¬ 
out endangering the cans, which may 
burst if tightly sealed from the first.
