Two cups of Indian, one cup wheat, One cup sour milk, one cup sweet, One good egg that well you beat, Half a cup molasses, too, Half cup sugar add thereto, • With one spoon of butter new Salt and soda each a spoon;

Mix up quickly and bake it soon;

Then you'll have corn bread complete,

Best of all corn bread you meet.

It will make your boy's eyes shine.

If he's like that boy of mine.

If you have a dozen boys.

To increase your household joys,

Double then this rule I should,

And you'll have two corn cakes good.

When you've nothing nice for tea,

This the very thing will be;

All the men that I have seen.

Say it is of all cakes queen,

Good enough for any king.

That a husband home can bring;

Warming up the human stove,

Cheering up the hearts you love;

And only Tyndall can explain.

The links between corn bread and brain.

Get a husband what he likes,

And save a hundred household strikes.
