| TEXT | This industry was inaugurated by Mr. D. M. Baldwin in the year 1880, at what is known as "Eagle Place," a finely situated point about one and one-half miles south of Brantford. A tract of eighty-five acres of land is devoted to the raising of an extra quality of sweet corn; this corn is all husked by hand in a careful manner; the corn is then cut from the cob by appropriate machinery and the grains or kernels are prepared for canning, which is done while the corn is in a raw state. The next process is the cooking, which is accomplished after the cans are closed, thus preserving the natural flavour and virtue of the corn, as by this method all evaporation of the aroma is prevented. This establishment is conveniently arranged for the various manipulations that are performed therein. Each department has its distinctive character, and throughout the whole there is an air of cleanliness and order equal to the kitchen of a tidy housewife. The different pieces of apparatus and machinery are all of the best modern style, and are supplied with steam and power from a forty horse-power steam engine with good boilers. This plant was completed at a cost of about six thousand dollars, and gives employment to seventy-five men during the canning season, which lasts only about eighteen days. All goods produced here find a ready market in the Dominion of Canada, and add materially to the list of palatable articles produced in this county. |
