Grating Corn.

When green corn has become too hard for boiling, but is still too soft for grinding into meal, make a “gritter,” as follows: Take a piece of tin about 7x14 inches (unsolder a tin pail by heating, and flatten the sides); punch holes through it, close together, with a large nail; bend the sheet into a half cylinder, rough side out, like a horseradish grater; nail the edges to a board somewhat longer and wider than the tin. Then, holding the ear of corn pointing lengthwise from you, grate it into a vessel held between the knees.

The meal thus formed will need no water, but can be mixed in its own milk. Salt it, and bake quickly. The flavor of “gritted bread” is a blend of hot pone and roasting ears—delectable!

Hard corn can be grated by first soaking the ears overnight.
