the premises, at 1.30 p.m., on Satur
day, October 14, 1939, the following
property owned by Christina Robert
son', deceased, namely: Lot No, 2 on

Corn develops a bacteria which is
hard to kill,: and will not sterilize
short of three or four hours. If the
product is at all tough or stale it
should receive the full four hours.
Remove the ears from the jars and
water as soon as you open a jar and
do- not reheat for the table in water.
Roll each ear in a pan of melted but
ter, and when slightly buttered heat
in a steamer.
Corn on the Cob — Husk and
strip off -all silk. Blanch for ten min
utes in boiling water and cold dip
the ears. Pack the ears in half gallon
jars, butts and tips alternating. Add
1 teaspoonful of salt to each half gal
lon and fill up the jars with boiling
water. Put on rubbers and tops and
seal partially but not tight. Do not
add more water to the jars and do
not them go off the boil. Boil hard
during the entire sterilizing period.
Tighten tops and store.
Corn off the Cob — Can the same
day as picked. Husk the ears and re
move silk. Blanch on the cob for ten
minutes and cold dip. Cut kernels
from cob with a thin sharp knife.
Pack tightly in the jars until quite
full. Add sufficient hot water to fill
all crevices and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Put On rubbers and tops, partially
tighten and Sterilize for three hours.
Corn stored in Crocks — Cut from
cobs and boil for 2() minutes. Drain,
cold dip and drain again thoroughly,
removing any bits of silk or chaff
which may still be amongst it. To
each gallon of corn add 1 cup of sale
and mix thoroughly. Rack in gallon’
.crocks to within a few inches of the
top. Place over it a muslin cloth big
enough to hang over the sides. Put
about one inch of salt on top of the
muslin and store crocks in a cool, dry
place,
’When wanted for table .use remove
the muslin, scoop... out the desired
quantity and quickly replace the ,cov«
er. Rinse the corn thoroughly in cold
water to remove the excess salt.
Sometimes it will be necessary to heat
it in the water (without boiling) to
remove salt. After removing the salt
the corn is quite different to the or
dinary canned product, retaining the
original flavor to a marked degree.
Corn and Tomato (combined) —
Corn canned with a vegetable like
Tomato which contains a high per
centage of acid, will be more easily
sterilized than when canned separate
ly, Blanch on the cob for 10 minutes
arid cold dip. Cut corn from the cob
cutting downward from the tip.
Blanch tomatoes 2 minutes, cold dip,
remove skins, and chop coarsely.. Mix
corn and tomatoes thoroughly and
pack in sterilized jars, adding 1 level
teaspoon salt to each quart. Put on
rubbers and tops and partially tight
en to0s. Sterilize 1% hours. Tighten
tops and store. Use two parts tom
atoes and 1 part corn.
Canning Tomatoes ”
Canning Tomatoes — Tomatoes
can be used in so many ways and in
combination with so many other veg
etables that a good supply is almost
indispensable to the housewife. ‘ A
variety which has few seeds is best
for canning. This point should be re
membered both in choosing seed for
planting and in buying the tomatoes
for canning. Choose fruit which is
fine grained, rich in coloring and firm
fleshed. Tomatoes with large cells for
seed will break up more easily than
varieties which are heavily fleshed.
Do not use over-ripe fruit. Over-ripe
tomatoes will require a few minutes
longer to sterilize than those in prime
condition. Tomatoes are themselves
94% water and it is therefore unnec-
cessary to add further water when
canning them.
Canned Tomatoes for General Pur
poses — Blanch for a minute in boil
ing water, drain and cold dip, then
remove the skins, pack them as whole
as possible in sterilized jars, adding
broken pieces or some strained tom
ato juice to completely fill the jars.
Add 1 lcvrel teaspoon salt to each
quart. Put on rubbers and tops and
partially tighten tops. Place in the
boiler and sterilize for 25 minutes.
Tighten tops and remove from boil
er. Store in the dark.
Canning Tomatoes Thick — Blanch
2 minutes and cold dip, remove skins
and put in the preserving kettle. Boil
until the desired thickness. Pack in
sterilized jars, filling the jars com
pletely. Add 1 level teaspoon salt to
each quart. Put on rubbers and tops
and partially tighten tops. Sterilize
for 20 minutes. Tighten tops, re
move from boiler and store in the
dark.
Canning Tomato Pulp — Cut up
tomatoes but do not peel them. Put
in the preserving kettle and boil them
until quite soft. Press through a sieve
keeping out the skins and seeds. Pack
in sterilized jars adding 1 teaspoon
salt to each quart. Put on rubbers
and tops and partially tighten tops.
Sterilize in the boiler 20 minutes.
Tighten tops and remove jars.
Canning Whole Tomatoes —
Choose firm meaty tomatoes, just big
enough to enter the mouth of the
jars. Blanch HA minutes • and cold
dip them. Remove skins and drop
the tomatoes without breaking into
the jars. Cut up some tomatoes and
put on to boil in the preserving ket
tle, when soft rub through a sieve
and pour the strained juice boiling
hot ovefr the whole tomatoes to com
pletely fill the jars. Add 1 level tea
spoon salt to each quart. Put on rub
bers and tops and partially tighten
tops. Place in the boiler and sterilize
15 minutes. Tighten tops and store.
Tomatoes canned in this manner
will be found excellent for'serving
whole in salads, baked, stuffed or
breaded, or in any way where fresh
ones are used, while the strained
juice is ideal for soups and sauces,

THE DOWNFALL
OF POLAND
In a recent issue we asked our read
ers for the “Downfall of Poland” and
we had a great response.
The first to bring this poem to the
office was Mrs. M. A, Aitken, of
Bluevale. The poem was contained in
an old fourth book (of the series of
National School 'Books) authorized
by the Council of Public Instruction
for Upper Canada. This reader was
in use for the period 1867 to some
time in the 1880’s ht least. Some re
member it in 1884. The poem was
Lesson XXVIII.
The reader that Mrs. ^Aitken loan
ed us has been in the possession of
the Duff family, of Bluevale, since it
was used at school. Names written
on it are Eva Duff, Jolly Duff, Mary
Duff.
The Downfall .of Poland is really
a portion of the poem “The Pleasure
of Hope” written by the poet Thomas
Campbell. He lived to be 67 years of
age. He was buried in Westminster
Abbey in 1843. The most touching
incident in the last rites was the
throwing of some earth from Kosc
iusko’s grave at Cracow by the Pol
ish Colonel Szynien.
For information regarding this
poem we are indebted to Mrs. Aitken,
Mrs. Marsales and Mrs. A, Irwin, Sr.
The poem:
Oh! sacred Truth, thy triumph ceased
awhile,
And Hope, thy sister, ceased with
thee to smile,
When leagued Oppression pour’d to

Peal'd her loud drum, and twang’d
> her trumpet-horn: ’
Tumultuous horror brooded o’er her
van;
Presaging wrath to Poland—and to
man!
Warsaw’s last •champion from her
height survey’d
Wide o’er the fields a waste of ruin
laid,—
Oh! Heav’n, he cried,—my bleeding
country save
Is there no hand on high to shield
the brave?
Yet, though destruction sweep those
lovely plains,
Rise, fellow-men! our country yet
remains!
By that dread name we wave the
sword on high!
And swear,, for her to live!—with her
to die! ' .
He said, and on the rampart-heights
5 array’d ('
His trusty warriors, few, but undis-
’’ ma'y’d;
Firm-paced and slow,/a horrid front
they form,
Still as the breeze, but dreadful as the
storm;
Low, murm’ring sounds along their
banners, fly,
Revenge or death,—the watchword
and vepiy
Then peal’d the notes, omnipotent to
charm,
And the loud toscin toll’d their last
alarm!
In vain, alas! in vain, ye gallant few!
From rank to rank your volley’d
thunder fleW:—
Oh! bloodiest picture in the book of
time,
Sarmatia fell, unwept, without a
crime,
Found not a generous friend, a pity
ing foe,
Dropp’d from her nerveless grasp the
shatter’d spear,
Clos’d her.bright age, and curb’d her
high career. •
Hope, for a season, bade the world
farewell,
And Freedom shriek’d—as Kosciusko
fell!
The sun went down, nor ceased the
carnage there,
Tumultuous murder shook the mid
night air—
On Prague’s proud arch the fires of
ruin glow,
His blood-dyed waters murmuring
below;
The storm prevails, the rampart
yields away.
Bursts the wild cry of horror and
dismay!
Hark! as the smouldering piles with
j thunder fall,
A thousand shrieks for hopeless-
mercy call!
Earth shook—red meteors flash’d.,
along the sky,
And conscious Nature shudder’d at
the cry!
Departed spirits of the mighty deadF
Ye that at Marathon and Luectra-
bled!
Friends of the world! restore your
swords to man.
Fight in his sacred cause and lead
the van!
Yet for Sarmatia’s tears of blood,
atone, '
And make her arm pissant as your
own!
Oh! once again to Freedom’s cause
return ■
The patriot Tell—the Bruce of Ban
nockburn.

PUMPKINS AND CRANBERRIES-
_____ *9
To many people the pumpkin is the
emblem of the pumpkin pie, while
the cranberry calls for cranberry
sauce and roast turkey. Here are two-
recipes in which you will find the
pumpkin and the cranberry occupying"
entirely new roles. No baking, no
boiling, no eggs,—but the resulting
desserts are delicious:
Pumpkin Rennet Custard
1 package lemon or orange
rennet powder
1 pint milk
% cup canned pumpkin
1 tablespoon brown sugar
teaspoon cinnamon
M teaspoon ginger
Set out individual dessert glasses.
Warm milk with pumpkin, sugar and
spices until LUKEWARM—not hot.
A few drops of the mixture oh the
inside of the wrist .should feel com
fortably warm. Remove from stove.
■Add rennet powder. Stir immediate
ly and briskly not more than one
minute. Pour at once into dessert
dishes. Let set until firm—,about ten
minutes. Then chill in refrigerator.
When ready to serve top with slight
ly sweetened flavored whipped cream
if desired.
Cream Cranberry Compote
1 package vanilla rennet powder
1 cup milk
1 cup light cream
44 cup cranberry sauce
