remarkable growlh the tint corn having been packed about ISM otllie T000 tons were put up In the United States In 1805 Iteeent largo loes I trum souring hove Id to an In velIollon at the 01 nstociooe Ito In itltute of technology The souring Is food to be Iue to tomentnllon set up by bacteria which exist on the ceirn In the field und me not destroyed by the iperalure of 180 degrees to 180 de grcc at which the corn H cooked In the cans To effect sterlllzallon the Ilueker l 1lace the can In retolls hooted by steam under pressure Kx lIrlmeob I has shown that a tempemture above the boiling point of water must b reached d throughout the corn to kill all bacteria and that exposure of the cans for ably minutes to 230 degree r ensures complete sterilization but the minimum lime and temlerlure safety are still to be delcrmlned Considerable Con-siderable time Is I essential on account ot the Iow conduction ot heat throulh the corn A demand for corn of light color BcematolmU led the pacltei to reduce too much the time or tempera lure of the sterilizing process and the souied corn of late years las tcsulled From reord ot on Immense number of observullons Dr Cerhardl Schoii draws the
