SERVING CORN ON THE COB
Typical American Dish Requires Some
Care In Its Proper Preparation
for the Table.

There Is no vegetable Of which so
much can be made as the typically
American sweet green corn. Some
persons insist that no dish Is more de-
licious than corn on the cob, but there
Is a certain art which must be mas
tered IL even this simple dish is to be
well prepared. One way to boil 1t Is
to select thick. short ears and remove
all of the husk excepting the inner
layer. Strip that down and take on
all the silk and cut out the grains that
are dried or discolored. Tie the husk
over the ear again and boil it 20 min
utes in a deep covered pot. or Is min
utes If the ears are small. Then re-
move the string which holds the husk
in place and serve either In the husks
or without the husks on folded nap
kin.
Another way to prepare corn on the
cob Is to remove the outer leaves and
silk from six young ears and put them
In a saucepan with just enough water
to cover them. Add half cupful OF
milk, half an ounce of butter and a
pinch of salt. Cook for 20 minutes.
