A Substitute for bread

--Now that meal is hard to get at out our villages and towns, we recommend lie-hominy as a good substitute, at least as a change. The simple plan of preparing it is at follows: To a gallon of shelled corn add a half gallon of good ashes. Boil together until the husk begins to come off the corn. Then rub briskly to clear the grain completely of husk. Wash the corn clean and boil it for ten or twelve hours, adding water from time to time to keep it from burning. --It is then ready, and has only to be warmed over for use as it is needed. It is perhaps better fried. This is said to be more wholesome than big hominy, and it is as good diet as corn bread if not better. It is easy to prepare, and saves the toll. Most housekeepers know how to make it; but a few may not be informed on the important subject, and we pen this paragraph for their benefit.--Edgefield Advertiser.
