From the \mcncin K*rn?er.
On the various ways of preparing and
employing Indian Corn.
There are many things the rich
have -no need to think of, which
would be of infinite advantage to the
;wor, if they had the knowledge ne
cessary to turn that product of their
labour they have roost in their pow
er, to their own comfort ? you may
perhaps smile when you perceive
this preamble is to usher into notice
the virtuat of Indian Corn. I will al
low you to dii so, if you can find in
my enumeration one use to which 1
put that valuable grain, worthy of
being more generally known. In or
der to swell Ilia list, I mention some
of tha purposes for which it is used,
that are known to every one; before
I enter into the detail of preparing a
di?d>, which I consider the beat, heal*
thirst, and most palatable food wo
have. I will begin with it hwfore the
d i* p*rfe< tlv formed: it can then
!>?? mai'e. if proper y dune, a fine pic
klc. NVe all know Imw delicious roast
ing cars are; when fit for t!iia us? it
w ill make a superior starch; if scald
ed and dried you may ha\e roasting
cars in tho middle of winter. When
the grain i* hardened, you have for
all domestic animals in the ahocks.

' The flour or meal of the grain is the
most wholesome we use; I need only
mention a lew of the ways in which
it is managed in this state, for 1
should never have done Were I only
to give you the receipts for making
the various kinds of corn bread com
mon in thia part of the country. A
favorite way of making corn bread
with us, is to make a batter with
meal, milk, eggs, and a little sliort
ning,* about the consistence of that
for pound cake, which it resembles
in appearance when baked in tins
commonly used for that purpose. In
making light bread by mixing the.
whe.a flour and yeast with mush, \\e
consider it adils much to the sweet
r~ and ?w!:'ofrsr.:ncn?*ss <?f lit? bread;
we likewise in all griddle cakes, mix
meal with wheat flour as tending to
' m;ike them lighter, with fewer eggs
than they would lake with wheat flour
alone ? in short, we use corn meal on
all occasions either with or without
wheat flour ? rot hrcauso we have
not Hour suilicient, hut because wo
prefer meal. I can assure my fair
countrywomen, they need not apply
to quacks or perfumers, or (I forget
what they call them) I mean those, fo
reigners who tend poisons, era! r the
preteuco of rendering those that use
thein more beautiful; and rvcoiuiueiui
them, btcause a few wnruout "id
women have made out, hy attending
to nothing el.se but the application of
various arts to hide their deformity
for a short time, w ho having no beau
ty to endanger, cannot fear the con
scqucnccs. I ?ay those who do believo
in the vii tin s of cosmetkks will find
my favorite corn nioal superior to all
the washes, de Maiutenon, \c. &c.
it will render tha skin smooth, trans
parent and white ? and withal it is
peiTrctly safe; only let them try it in
stead of going to one of those vonders
aforesaid, and spending two or three
dollars for a -nostrum, whit h at best
will only bo a transitory benefit,
leaving a lasting ill effect; let tiKin
put o\er tho fire a pint of water, I
when it bnils stir in as much fine
meal as will make it tho consistence
of paste ? when cooling thoy may add
a spoonful of honey and a little rose
water, though the latter articles arc
not necessary ? let thun use this
paste, or as I vulgarly call it, musli,
instead of soap every time they per
form their morning and evening ab
lutions, or, in other words, wash
themselves. I venture to allirm thoir
complexions will derivo u*>re advan
tage from the application of this
paste, than from any of those wash
es which tlicy pay so high tor.
I come now to the preparation of
the grain, which 1 believe is not as
generally known as it ought to be,
considering its excellence, it is what
we cull lyed hemmony; we likewise
have the largo horomotiy and sn>all
hommony,bothot which are common,
are iiuc dishes and superior to rice
w lion properly managed, but the lyrd
hommony is preferred by every one
who is accustomed to it, as being
?ore wholesome and more palatable.
? A woM in I c ' ?n>kcry which im
plies dial butter, i?to, or viU may be ukJ
|t is prepared by boiling the white
fietd cern in ashes and water, until
the husk or ekin of the grain it loos
ened, which will be the case in a Tow
minutes, and it is necessary to pay
attention lliat it does r.ot remain to.i
Ions; in the ashrs, as it will by that
means taste of the lye ? so soon av
the husk as loosened, it must be wash
ed and rubbed through the hands in
rold water until the gain is eleansed
from the ashes and skin, it inay then
be dried to make use of any time,
or boiled immediately, if wanted.?
When ready to he cook'd for the ta
ble, it must be scalded and p:>< nvc
to boil in plenty of water, obs?iTii;g
always to keep sufiirient hot water
ready to add it aH the first boils away,
'l he grain bursts open into a white
ball and becomes sjft when sufii irnt
i ly done. This is the manner <*e boil
it to eat with milk or cream, cither
warm or rold. It is also used. in this
country by the Indians and Creole
boatmen who prefer it to any thing
else in a soup, bj putting the corn
over with a piece of beef or pork,
leaving the water in it which niak?s
the soup ? in the other rase the gra"i
is taken out of the water. A yanked
acquaintance of mine who knew no
things!' hommoiij ,has become so fond
of this dish as to declare lyed hom
raony and milk to be preferable to
the best sweet meats and cream that
! can he had, and 1 doubt not some
more there are who would think the
same, were they equally to make tin*
trial. 1 have been induccd to write
the preceding.
