For the
Farm Wife and Family
There’s n( thing like snow, a
good, warm fn o in_thc kitchen
stove, good talk ..nd good eating
And good eating we have this
week, with lots of recipes, maybe
some repeat itcipes, along with
a hatful of household hints We
sure enjoy hearing from you, and
it seems you’re hlyng the column
more. Keep those recipes and
household hints coming
You know these recipes are
being tried and true several
wrote or told me this week that
they have given the column the
kitchen test and the results
were mighty tasty. .
But this week, it’s a couple old
tuners, probably from a tattered,
well worn recipe book that pro
vide a free year’s subscription to
Mrs- Abram Summy at Rl, Man
heim
She writes -
“As I have taken some cookies
from your paper, I will send some
in. I always like new ones and
someone might dike to try these
They are the old kind from moth
er
JUMBLES
One pound sugar -
One and one-fourth pound of
flour
Three-fourths pound of butter
Three eggs
One-fourth cup sweet milk
One-half teispoon soda
Take a small piece of dough in
your hand, roll :t and make a ring-
These are very good.”
Getting to the end of this
recipe, I found there was no
oven temperature and no time
indicated-Being a strict cook
book-m-one-hand and spoon-m
-the-other, I gave Mrs- Summy

like mother was for the
cook stove in that day had no
temperature indicator, and may
be it was a toothpick or the
single straw of a new broom
that told when cookies were
done If the straw came out dry,
the cookies were done But for
the strict rule-book cook, Mrs.
Summy suggests 375 degrees,
maybe 15 minutes.
Here’s another old-timer from
the recipe book of Mrs Summy.

“It’s hard to mix all the flour
at tunes,” Mrs- Summy adds, “but
you should put it in much like
the bakers do”
Roll, slice and bake-

“Thanking you for your paper,”
Mrs Summy tells Lancaster Farm
ing-
Sunday nights were always
nights for popcorn and apples
back home. The snow swirled
around outside, lard was used
unsparingly in the hot cast iron
skillet with battered granite lid,
and a dishpan was filled for the
family-
Soon the "task” passed from
mother to tliO youngsters, and
some lessons were learned-
Have you ever tasted popcorn
popped in tallow?
Tried and tine, we said earlier
Here’s a note from one of our
readers who submitted an earlier
recipe She received a letter from
another Lancaster Farming read
er “saying it was the best sugar
cookie recipe she has ever made
She said I should put it in more
papers Just to let you know the
recipes are tried, and I do enjoy
your paper.’’
Mrs Mervui Wenger, R 3 Man

household hints that look mightj
appetizing
Here’s one item:
An easy way to keep the oven
of your stove clean after bak
ing pies that sometimes cook
out, sprinkle salt on it wjiil e
still! hot See how easy it washes
off
We might add a warning, be
careful about trying to wash
splashes off hot porcelain

Swinging dowr. into another sec
