CORN COOKED ON COB
MEETS MOST FAVOR
Roasting in Old-Fashioned
Fireplace Was Popular.

tPrepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Green corn, like many other vege-
tables, is at its best when freshly
gathered. Corn on the cob is not very
convenient to serve or eat, and this
method of cooking it would doubtless
have been abandoned long ago If cut
ting the kernels from the cob before
cooking did not materially modify the
flavor. The most convenient way of
cooking corn on the cob is ordinarily
by boiling but in old-fashioned fire.
places roasting was favorite method.
This still survives as a common house
hold practice in some localities and
also in campfire cookery.
Boiled Corn on the Cob.
Free the corn from husks aud silk
Have kettle of water boiling hard,
drop the corn into the water and cook
10 minutes. If only few ears of
corn are put in a kettle of boiling wa
ter the temperature of the water is
not lowered greatly and the corn will
cook in minutes. On the other hand,
If large quantity of corn is crowded
into kettle of boiling water, the tenn
perature is very much lowered and
the time of cooking must be increased.
When possible, surround the corn with
a generous quantity of boiling water.
Be careful not to cook sweet corn too
long, or it is likely to be tough and
tastelesS.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that when corn
and potatoes are to be cooked at one
time, six to eight ears can be steamed
In the same kettle in which the pota-
toes are boiled. Lay the ears over the
potatoes in rapidly boiling water and
cover the kettle tightly.
Corn Cut From the Cob.
Corn may be cut from the cob and
heated with butter, pepper and little
milk. Use either raw corn, or, better,
corn that has been cooked on the cob
for minutes in the boiling water to
set the juice. With a sharp knife cut
through the center of each row of
grains and with the back of case
knife press the grains of corn from
the hulls. Put the corn in a saucepan
and season with salt, pepper and but
ter. Add enough hot milk to moisten
well and cook 10 minutes. Serve at
once.
Another method sometimes known
as Maine style" is to cut the grain
directly from the cob without scoring
and scraping, and to season and heat
as above This is a good way to
utilize leftover cooked ears.
Succotash.
To a pint of corn cooked as above,
or to the same amount of canned corn,
add a pint Of cooked and seasoned
shelled beans. usually lima beans.

The refrigerator should be thorough
ly cleaned about once a week, at
time when it contains only little ice,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. Remove the ice and all
the food Take out the racks, wash
them in hot water containing soap
or soda, rinse, and wipe dry. If pos
sible, remove the drainpipe, scrub in
side with a long-handled spiral brush
or swab, and scald. If the pipe is not
removable, it should nevertheless be
thoroughly cleaned out, for it may con-
tain not only solid matter from the
melting ice, but also slime formed by
the organisms that thrive in such a
dark, cool, moist situation. The small
trap in the drainpipe should also be
cleaned, and the drain pan washed
and scalded. Wash the inside of the
refrigerator with hot water contain
ing soap or soda, rinse, and dry thor
oughly. A small pointed stick like
a skewer may be used to clean the
corners and seams.

For those who are yet inexperienced
in cake-making few suggestions may
be helpful:
Firstly have all the ingredients
gathered before starting to prepare
the cake, as often most important
ingredient may be lacking. Lining all
cake pans is a good practice as 1t
helps to keep cake moist, makes easier
the removing if it from the pan, and
If too hot, the scorch will be on the
paper and will peel off with it when
the paper is removed.
The old-fashioned cooks were advo-
Gates of much creaming of butter and
sugar. but times have changed snd
the time spent in such work has been
largely saved for more important
things. All ingredients, if well-blended
and given a good beating, will make
fine-g grained cake which answers al
most any purpose. OF course, for
great occasions, such as wedding
cakes work is never considered. The
following is n good, plain foundation
cake which may be used for all or
binary occasions:
Plain Cake.-Take three level table
spoonfuls of butter, add one cupful of
sugar, one-half cupful of milk, two
well-beaten eggs, two teaspoonfulS of
baking powder added to zone and three
fourths cupfuls of flour. Flavor as
liked. beat well and bake In square
tin.

suit In a level cake, as all mixtures
tend to hump up in the middle when
baking, Too much flour will cause
this unsightly hump also. The most
satisfactory cake Is the one which
may be baked as thin as possible
that is with MS little flour. and still
keep from falling when baking The
thinner the batter the more delicate
snd tender the cake.

The spring chicken is just about the

size to serve whole.
Vegetables may be cooked and
served in any quantity small or large;
omelets are good for the small family;
souffles may be prepared in any size
and puddings of various kinds and
small pies may be prepared.
A larger chicken need not be an ex
