Recipes for Green Corn.

Green-corn Pudding.-Alow one long
ear of sweet-corn for each person.. Take
half pint of milk, one egg, a dessert
spoonful Of white sugar, one Of sweet
butter, and teaspoontul of salt to every
two ears. Beat the eggs and sugar well
together, and add the milk and salt. Cut
the corn off the obs with sharp knife,
and chop the divided grains with chop
ping-knife, but not too fine; or, better
still, split each row of grains down the
middle before cutting them off the cob.
The corn mast not be boiled first. Stir
the chopped corn into the milk, and bake
in brisk oven in custard-cups or a tin
pan until the top is nicely Drowned, but
not hardened. Serve hot, without sauce.
This is delicious dish, Some persons
prefer it cold. Common corn may be
used, if young and tender, but requires as
much again sugar. Is pe18iH t Fed Il
Green-corn Pie.-Prepare as above, and
bake with a short under-crust-n top
crust. : If preferred, six eggs may be used
to eight long ears; but most persons
would like it best with but four, as
then the taste Of the corn predominates.
Succotash or Beans and Corn.-This is
deservedly a favorite country dish I'm
fortunately, few city people are acquaint-
ed with it, and even in some rural dis
tries housekeepers do not know how to
| make it. Sweet-corn and lima-beans
make the epicure's succotash, but string
beans are commonly used. Strip off the
husks and silk from dozen ears of sweet
corn, and cut the grains off the cobs If
the corn is not very tender, chop as for
green corn pudding. String a quart of
green beans, and chop them into half

gether into quart Of cold water or milk,
cover them close, and boil gently until
done. Usual time, three-quarters of an
hour, but it is safest to test them. A few
minutes before taking off the fire, add a
teacupful of table butter, and salt and
pepper to taste. Stir well together, let it
boil up, then take the succotash out in a
dish with as much Of the liquid as may
be desired. In place of butter, half a
pound of nice corned fat pork may be
boiled with the beans and corn. The
pork should be first cut in very thin
slices, and no additional Salt will be re-
CURED.
To Boil Green Corn.-Trim off the
husks, and put the ears into boiling water
with a tablespoonful Of salt to a dozen
ears If the fire is brisk, tender corn will
| be done in fifteen Or twenty minutes
otherwise in half an hour. Lay napkin
on large dish, and after draining off the
water from the corn, lay it on, turning the
corners of the napkin over it to keep il
hot Some housekeepers prefer to steam
the ears of corn, or to wrap them in a
linen towel while boiling Another Way
Cut the corn off dozen ears, and put il
into a quart Of cold water or milk. Il
should be left over a moderate fire half an
hour Just before taking it off, add two
tablespoonful Of butter, and salt and
pepper to taste. ..-a
Roasted Green Corn Strip off the
husks and roast the ears on gridiron
over brisk coal fire, or in front of wood
fire, turning the ears around so that both
sides may be Drowned Serve smoking
hot, with salt and butter Another way
Put the ears, in their full husks, into a
bed of Goals and hot ashes, and let them
remain there until the outer husks get
pretty thoroughly charred-say from
twenty minutes to half an hour The
inner husks will not be burned, and the
corn cooked in this way is peculiarly
sweet and alatable.-Hearth and Home.
