Corn
Strip off the husks and silk, and put in a kettle of boiling water and boil
hard for fifteen minutes; do not salt the water, as salt makes corn tough.
Put a napkin on a platter with one end hanging over the end; lay the corn on
and fold the end of the napkin over to keep it warm.
Canned Corn
Turn the corn into the colander and pour water through it a moment.
Heat a cup of milk with a tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful of salt,
and three shakes of pepper, and mix with the corn and cook for two minutes.
Or, put in a buttered baking-dish and brown in the oven.
Many people never wash corn; it is better to do so.
