 HOW TO HAVE GREEN CORN IIV WINTER. 



, Of all the i)i-oiUictioiis of summer, there is 

 hardly one more mitritioiis ami |i;i!atal)le than 

 green corn ; yet it l,s proscriheil a.s contrilintinj; lo 

 some of the complaints of the season. In this, 

 however, as in many other cases the ingenuity of 

 man has found means to turn this inconvenience 

 into good account, by jireparing and keeping this 

 article for winter use. But the method for doin<r 

 .this seems not to he universally known. It is 

 cotiimon in many parts of New England, hut the 

 writer does not recollect to have seen the prepar- 

 ed article in our market. It may be so prepared 

 as to he as good and a^ palatable" in the winter as 

 in the appropriate season, and may he eaten with 

 perfect salety, if not as the promoter of health. 



The siujple process of preparing it is this : The 

 Corn must he taken from the stalk when it is full 

 in the milk, or in that state in which we generallv 

 use it — the husks stripped oft; and the ears thrown 

 into a kettle of boiling water, where it may remain 

 half as long as you would boil it for present use. 

 This will harden it so that it may be easily taken 

 from the cob. It njay then be spread in the sun 

 till it is thoroughly dry. In preparing it for the 

 table, it may be soaked from twelve to fifteen 

 hours and boiled in the same water. — But care 

 must be taken not to boil it too much as that it 

 will make it hard and diminish its sweetness. 



N. B. To get the corn from the cob, everv al- 

 ternate row may be punched oft' with a sharp 

 stick, and the remainder wrung off" with the hands 

 (The above statement is literally true. We have 

 often ate of corn thus prepared and can bear testi- 

 mony of its e.xcellence. Our " better half has 

 prepared a quantity the present season for winter 

 u.se, and it almost makes onr teeth water to think 

 of what good eating it will be in January. Green 

 corn in January, only think of that.— Sttor of the 

 If'arren, Ohio, jVews Letter.)

MASSACHUSETTS SOCIETY 



FOR PROMOTING AGRICULTURE. 



Premium List.. ..1834. 



The Trustees of the Massachusetts Society for 

 Promoting Agriculture believe that the interest of 

 agriculture will be better promoted by appropriat- 

 ing all the money at their disposal, for premiums 

 for the encouragement oi well cultivated farms, the 

 operations of the dairy, a thorough field culture of 

 vegetable and grain crops, agricultural experiments, 

 discoveries and inventions, for trees and live hedges] 

 than by distributing any portion of it to the object^ 

 usually exhibited at the Cattle Show, in Brighton, 

 and trust that they shall be justified in omitting the' 

 show for the present year. They hope the omis- 

 sion will not in any degree relax the energies of 

 Agriculturists, but awaken their attention, and 

 stimulate them to raising prime cattle for labor, 

 and for the dairy, and the general improvement of 

 other animals, that the cattle show in 183.5, may 

 exhibit a greater degree of e.xcellence than in for- 

 mer years, in the selection and preference for the 

 best stocks. 



In conformity with these views, the Trustees 

 have concluded not to have a Cattle Show, a: 

 Brighton, this autumn, but propose to have an 'ex- 

 hibition of Butter aud Cheese, at a place to be de- 

 signated hereafter by the Trustees, on Wednesday, 

 the third day of December next. 



The following premiums are oftered : 

 For Sutler and Cheese exhibited, without regard to 

 the place of Manifaclure. 

 For the best lot, in tubs, pots or firkins, not less 



than 300 lbs ^iqq qq 



For the next best, not less than 300 lbs. 50 00 

 For the best, less than 300 Jbs. and not 

 less than 100 lbs. - - . 30 00
