Succotash.
6 ears of corn; 1 pint of string-beans, trimmed and cut into short pieces; 1 tablespoonful of butter rolled in flour; 1 cup of milk; pepper and salt.
Cut the corn from the cob, bruising as little as possible. Put over the fire with the beans in enough hot water, salted, to cover them, and stew gently half an hour. Turn off nearly all the water, and add a cupful of milk. Simmer in this, stirring to prevent burning, twenty minutes; add the floured butter, the pepper and salt, and stew ten minutes. Serve in a deep dish.
