There is also another method: Take one gallon of good wood
ashes and three gallons of water; put the ashes in a sack
and boil until the lye is strong; then take out the ashes
and drain off the lye. Wash the kettle and put the lye
back; put in the corn and boil until the lye takes off all
the outside husks of the corn. Drain and dry.
