to it before taking it away from the fire, as this is an essential par

Succotash in Winter. 



Take, when green, your corn, either on the cob or carefully shell- 

 ed, and your beans in the pod. Dip them in boiling water, and care- 

 fully dry them in the shade where there is a free circulation of air. 

 Pack them up in a box or bag, in which they should be kept in a 

 dry place; and succotash may be made from them as well in winter 

 as in summer. — Agriculturist. 



Samp or Hulled Corn, 



Take a pint, a quart, or more, of the grains of hard, ripe flint or 

 gourd-seed corn; soak them over night in a lessive or ley, and then 

 pound them in a large wooden mortar, with a wooden pestle; the 

 skin of each grain is by that means peeled off, and the farinaceous 

 part left whole, which, being boiled, swells into a white soft pulp, 

 and eaten with milk, or with butter and sugar, is delicious. — Dr. 

 Franklin. 



Hommony. 



Wash a pint of grits, (particles of flint-corn ground to one-fourth 

 the size of a grain of mustard, with the finer parts of the flour se- 

 parated by a sieve,) in two or three waters, taking care each time to 

 let them settle. When you pour oflf the water, the grits must be 

 well rubbed with the hands, in order to separate them from the finer 

 particles of flour. Then put them into a sauce-pan, with a pint of 

 water slightly salted, and let them boil slowly for nearly half an 

 hour, occasionally stirring the mixture as soon as it begins to boil. 



Hommony may be boiled to any consistency that may be preferred, 

 from that of mush to the dryness of rice. — A. Barclay, Esq., H. B. 

 M. Consul at JYew York. 



Indian Gruel. 



Take one quart of boiling water and stir in two or three table- 

 spoonfuls of finely sifted Indian meal, previously mixed with a little 

 cold water. Add salt to your liking, and let the mixture boil for 

 fifteen or twenty minutes. A small quantity of pulverized crackers, 

 a few raisins, or a little sugar added, will render it more palatable 

 to the sick. — From a Lady.
