To Dry and Cook Corn,

f. A. Riehl writes one of our cotempo
raries: ITO dry corn for winter use is not
always an easy matter when done in the
ordinary way; but it is so good dish
when properly cooked, and comes in such
good play during the winter and spring
months, when the good housewife is often
puzzled what to cook, that all could have
a supply and for those who have no bet
ter fixtures for drying, / would recon-
mend the hot-bed. Place the parboiled
corn, cut from the cobs, on boards, or sheets
in the hot-bed, or other frame, and put on
the sash, raising them couple of inches
each end, the sun shining in will make
it so hot that the corn will dry perfectly
In one day; and the heat will be so great
that not fly will go near it, and should
a shower come up it will be quite safe
where it is, and ready to take advantage
of the first bit of sunshine; when properly
dried it will last for years. To cook it, my
wife says, put in a tin or other vessel with
a lid, pour on enough hot water to cover
WE'LL set on stove where it will remain near
the boiling point but should not boil, leave
on three to four hours, then take half cup
of cream, into which stir teaspoonful Of
flour, and pour into the dish with corn, or
instead of the cream use milk, and add Il
small piece of butter: season with a tea
