Corn To Boil

Always select young and tender corn for boiling, and drop into boiling water which has been a little salted; boil until done, which will require about twenty-five or thirty minutes. Some prefer it served on the cob, and it is also very nice cut off and seasoned with butter, pepper and salt.
