ON THE VARIOUS WAYS OF PREPARING
AND EMPLOVlNQ INDIAN CORN.
There arc maniy things the rich have
no need to think of, which would be
of infinite advantage to the' poQr 'i tl
they had the knowledge necessary to
turn that product of their labour they
have moat in their power, to their own
comfort you may perhaps smile when
you perceive this preamble is to usher
into notice the virtues of Indian corn,
I will allow you to do so, if you can find
in my enumeration one use to which I
put that valuable grain, worthy of be
ing more generally known. In order
to swell the list, I mention some of the
purpose!! for which it is used, that arc
indwn to every one j before I enter in
to the detail of preparing a dish, which
1 consider the best, healthiest, and
most palatable food we have, I will be
gin with it before the seed is perfect
ly formed ; it can then be made, if prop
erly done, ajine pictle- . We all know
how delicious roasting ear arej wh,en
tit for this use it will make a superior
starch if scalded and dried you may
have roasting" car in the middle of
winter.' When the grain is hardened,
you have for all the domestic animals
in the shocks, tops, &c. etc. The leaves
of the shoe k or husk, by slitting them
finely, make excellent mattresses or un
der beds. The flour or meal of the
grain is the most wholesome we usej
1 need ny mention a few of tire ways
in which it is managed in this state, for
I should never have done were I only
to give you the receipts for making the
various kinds of com bread common
in this part of the country, A favor
ite way of making corn bread with us,
is to make a batter with meal, milk,
eggs, and a little sltorrntng, 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 wheat flour and yeast with
mush, we consider it adds much to the
sweetness and wholesomenest of the
bread ; we likewise in all griddle cakes,
mix meal with wheat flour as tending
to make them lighter, with fewer eggs
than they would take with wheat flour
alone in short, we use corn meal on
all occasions, either with or without
wheat flour not because we have not
flour sufficient, but because we prefer
meal. I can assure my fair country
women, they need not apply to quacks
or perfumers, or (I forget what they
call them) I mean those foreigners who
vend poisons, under the pretence of
rendering those that use them more
beautiful j and recommend them, be
cause a few wornourrold women have
made out, by attending to nothing else
but the application of various arts to
hide their deformity for a short time,
who having no beauty to endanger,
Cinnot fear the consequences. I say
those who do believe in the virtues of
cosmeticks will find my favorite corn
meal superior to all the washes, de
Maintenon, &c. &c. it will render the
skin smooth, transparent and white
and withal it is perfectly safe j only let
them try it instead of going to one of
those venders aforesaid, and spending
two or three dollars for a nostrum,
which at best will only be a transitory
benefit, leaving a lasting ill effect i let
them put over the fire a pint of water,
when it boils stir in as much fine meal
as will make it the consistence of paste
when cooling they may add a spoon
full of honey and a little rose water,
though the latter articles are not ne
cessary let them use this pastc 'or as
I vulgarly call it, muiA, instead cf soap
every time they perform their morn
ing and evening ablutions, or, in other
words, wash themselves. I venture to
affirm their complexions will derive
more advantage trn the application
of this paste, than from any of those
washes which they pay so high for." 1
I come now to the preparation of
the grain, which I believe is not asgen
crally known as it ought to he, consid
ering its excellence. It is what we call
lyed hommony we likewise have the
large hommony and small-hommony,
both of which are common, are fine
dishes and .superior to rice when prop
erly mat aged i but the lyed hommony
A word it. Domestic Cookery which implies
that butter, htrd, or oil, may be used,
is preferred by every one who is ic
customcd to it, as being more whole
some and more palatable. It is pre
pared by boiling the white field corn in
ashes and wan r, until the husk or skin
of the grain is loosened, which wjll be
the Case in a lew minutes, and it is ne
cessary to pay .attention that it dots not
remain too long in the ashes, as it will
by that means taste of the lyc-tso soon
as the husk is loosened, it must be wash
ed and rubbed through the hands in
cold water until the grain is cleansed
from the ashes and skin, it may then
be dried to make use of at any time,
or boiled immediately, if wanted.
When ready to be cooked for the table,
it must be scalded and put over in boil
in plenty of water, observing always
to keep sufficient hot water ready to
add to it as tie first boils away The
grain oursts open into a white ball and
becomes soft when sufficiently done.
This is the manner we boil it to eat
with milk or cream, either warm or
cold. It is also used in this country
by the Indians and Creole boatmen,
who prefer ft to any thing else in it
soup, by putting the corn over with a
piece of beef or pork, leaving the wa
ter in it which makes the soup -in the
other case the grain is taken out of the
water A yankee acquaintance of
mine who knew nothing of hommo
ny, has become so fond of this dish as
to declare lyed hommony and milk to
be preferable to the beat sweet meats
and cream that can be had, and I doubt
not some more there are who would
think the same, were they equally to
make the trial. I have been induced to
write the preceding. '

We have received by the Amity, the 72d num
ber of the Edinburgh Review, the general dull
ness of which in a great measure justifies tlio
contemptuous notice of the declining state of

by the writers of Blackwood's Magazine, , The
only articles of any general interest in the pres
