butter the size of a walnut, and salt to taste. When cooked dry

again, serve hot with cream and sugar.

NEW ENGLAND SUCCOTASH. MRS. S. A. POWERS.

parboil it; add beans cooked until they burst; then add corn, two

tablespoonfuls sugar, butter the size of a walnut, and pepper to

taste. After corn is added, watch carefully to keep from scorching.

butter. Bake about thirty minutes, or until well browned.
