GREEN CORN (STEWED)

Husk and clean as for boiling corn; with a sharp knife cut off the top of the grain, being careful not to cut too close to the cob and with the back of the knife press out the remaining pulp. When cut in this way, the corn is much more juicy than when the grains are cut close to the cob. Place the milk in a granite saucepan, and when boiling, add the butter and corn; cook from ten to fifteen minutes, or until it loses its raw taste. Stir frequently, and season to taste with salt and sugar.
