Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Making the Farm Kitchen Pay
In the first place do not attempt to dry too much corn at once. A better plan is to do a little at a time, and in that way the labor is less and results more satisfactory. Select perfect roasting ears of sweet corn - not over-ripe nor under-ripe - plunge immediately after picking into unsalted boiling water, cover closely, and boil actively about five minutes, or just enough to set the starch and milk.
