Six ears of corn (cut the top of the grains off with a grater, then scrape with a knife), four well beaten eggs, one-half teacup cream or milk, pepper and salt and a little flour. If corn is good, will not need the flour. Fry in butter.

Like potatoes, and in fact almost all roots and tubers, beets are much sweeter baked than when prepared in any other way. By this method of cooking all the juices are retained The baking should be performed slowly and carefully. Several hours are usually required. Mrs. C. W. Dryden.
Slice the plant one-half inch thick, sprinkle with salt, place layer upon layer, let stand 15 minutes, then dip in a batter and fry in butter or lard. Another good way is to dip in egg and roll in crushed crackers, and fry same way.

Pare nice, ripe tomatoes, slice in a kettle and add a little ginger, mustard, pepper and butter. Use all these to suit the amount used and the taste. Mrs. S. L. Chaplin.
Break the macaroni into small pieces and stew until tender. Into a pan put a layer of the macaroni, then a layer of grated cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add some small slices of butter. Repeat the layers till the desired amount is prepared. Pour enough milk into the pan so that when cooking it will cover the macaroni. Bake like pudding.
