Fried Chicken and Green Corn.

Fried Chicken and Green Corn.
Down i'll the country just about
This time the fields are moist and green,
The woods are cool and ali leaved out
And brooks with fish in flow between
Their grassy banks; the nights are prime,
From eve to incense breathing morn.
And they. approach that happy time
or fried spring chicken and green corn.
Down in the country there's a spell
OF gladness, or by night or day
And in the fields there clings the smell.
The odor of the new cut hay;
Inc sound of many whistled tune
Across the loamy field is borne.
And that bright day is coming soon
Or fried spring chicken and green corn.
Down in the country there's the cluck
And c1atter of the Plymouth Rock
And CORY heads will soon be struck
From stretched necks at the chopping
block;
The half grown rooster will be thrust
In boiling water-pumage shorn:
Then biscuit with rich brown crust
And fried spring chicken and green corn.
Down In the country--when look
Out of my window can see
The field. the meadow and the brook,
The red barn and the apple tree:
And to my nostrils as / gaze
There comes the incense of the morn,
To tell me of the coming days
OF fried spring chicken and green corn.

First condensed MIX.

The idea of condensing milk to make
1t keep better occurred first to French
chemist named Appert. in 1897. Seven

reaching the boiling point was first used.

dispose of 2OO,OOOOOO pounds Of condensed
milk a year. valued at over $12OOO,O0O.
