To PR1eaRE Green Corn FOR USE IN
WINrER.-A few months since, a farmer
ate some green corn at our mothers table,
which he liked so waIl that he requests
US to furnish the process of curing to our
readers.
She has large copper boiler Of boiling
water, which she fills with ears OF husked
corn, such as are used for roasting ears,
and after boiling about ten minutes, the
corn is scraped off with an iron spoon,
and spread in the sun to dry, either on
plates, boards, or cloths. When thor
oughly dried, it is hung up in bags, and
makes in the winter most delightful
dish-almost as good as fresh green corn
The best kind IS the sweet corn, OF
which the best variety is that which
shrinks most in drying.
IMPROVED Corn BRBAD-Take Of corn
meal suffici, Mt quantity to make stiff
batter, with 8 pints OF sour milk, 8 eggs
we'll beaten; 2 OF. shortening; l gill beet
molasses; a little salt and saleratus;
grease pan we'll, and bake quick.

To MAKE HoMMoNY.--Take the white
flint corn-the same as is used in the
southern states; let the miller pass II
through the hopper as coarse as possible;
take what quantity is wanted and silt IN
the usual meal sieve; blow Out The hulls,
then wash; put it in the pot with plenty
Ut cold water and little salt; boil till
soft, which will be in about an aour or so
Mock RlcE PUDDING. Take hommony,
prepared as above. When boiled, set IT
by to cool; then mix milk and eggs aud
sweetcn TO taste the same as Tor rice.
Grease the pan or spider we'll, and bake.
When done, CRATE nutmeg OH the top. !
usually raise little white flint every
year, aud would send you some II had
an opportunity.
Cool speaking Of cool water,
the Philadelphia Ledger says, I'VE eau
suggest mode within the reach OF every
person. Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel
used tor water be surrounded with one
or more folds OF coarse cotton, 10 be con
slan.ly wet. The evaporation Of the
water from this will carry off the hea,
from the water inside, and soon reduce il
to the freezing point. In india aud other
tropical climates where ice cannot be
produced, this practice is common. Le
every mechanic or laborer have at hi:
place OF employment two pitchers thu
provided, and with lids or covers, the ont
to contain water Tor drinking and the 9th
er for evaporation, and he can Away
have supply Of cold water in warn
weather"
COMPOSITION TO PRESERVE EGGS --Tak'
half bushel Of quick lime and put il il
a tub, and slack it with hot water till
becomes OF the thickness OF cream; the
add 81 lbs. salt and ID cream Of tartar
Sur them together; then store your egg
in kegs or barrels and pour in the prepal
alion when cod, till the eggs are entire
ly covered. This quantity is enough 10
one barrel Of eggs. Ii the cask is keI
|,ight. the eggs will keep Is months Q
perhaps two years.-Far. Journal.
