6—Lancaster Farming, Friday, January 27, 1956
For the
Farm Wife and Family
You know, sitting inside by a
warm fire with the snow drifting
around outside makes you realize
how beautiful a Pennsylvania
winter dan be. Of course, it was
a bit treacherous underfoot for
both walking and driving, and
nth rrtany of the roads down in
our end off the county blocked
several times, travel was more
than difficult.
What a change this has been
from Christmas. How' well the
snow-capped evergreens would
have looked during the holidays
Wintertime is a wonderful time
for planning- You can sit and
thumb - through the - catalogs
no wonder we used to call them
“dream books.” You can sit and
plan what you're going to plant
this spring, or better still bring
out your movies, snapshots or
color slides »f those summer
days, and see what la difference
the season can make.

Mrs. 'Hibshman writes; “I re-

ing and enjoyed relading the
Women’s Page. Here is a recipe
for a chocolate cake which sounds
different, but is very delicious

One and one-half teaspoons
soda
Four tablespoons cocoa
Sift together these ingredients,
•then add
One cup cold water ,
Mix well and bake in a 350-

Of 'all the types of lettuce to he
found in markets, the crisp head
ed iceberg seems to be the most
popular m America. When choos
ing your lettuce, look for heads
■that are fresh, crisp, tender and
fairly firm to hard.
Lettuce keeps well in the re
frigerator and can be stored there
for several days, even a week if
the lettuce is very fresh when
purchased, in a plastic bag or in
the hydrator Wash lettuce eith
er before it is put away or just
before use. During washing, be
sure to remove any bruised or
rusty outer leaves Thoroughly
drain the washed lettuce and pat
dry with a towel
A very simple salad, but one
that pleases everyone, is made
by cutting the head of lettuce
into wedge-shaped pieces. Pour
over it your favorite dressing
and serve on individual salad
plates. Wilted lettuce salad, made
with crisp bacon is -another fa
vorite This is simple to make
and Can be quite elegant.
If your nylon curtains have be

Some houewive have had a
good ddal of trouble with their
new ‘wonder fabric’ curtains and
drapes falling into holes. Manu
facturers tell us this is because
we have not,had the drapes or
curtains cleaned or washed oft
en enough- It is recommended
that you have them dry cleaned
or washed, depending on the
fabric, at least twice each year.
House dust is most harmful to
these wonder fabrics.

time getting muffins out of

“Recently I sent in la subscrip
tion for Lancaster Fanning and
we enjoy it very much,” writes
Mrs. Lester Faus, RD 2, Man
heim. Continuing, “I especially
like the Women’s Page. I thought
I’d write and tell you a few hints
I find helpful:
Us'e, Scotch Tape to clean
your felt velour, etc., hats.
It takes any dust of lint
right off.
“Another thing I find help- ;
ful is to pin skirts by the belt
on wire clothes hangers with
clothes pins.
“Also: to iron around plas
tic buttons and such, cover
them with aluminum foil.
“Here is an old recipe which
we enjoy,” Mrs- Faus adds:
EGG CHEESE or
SWEET CURDS
Two quarts and one cup sweet
milk
Six eggs and one pint thick
nulk
Let sweet milk get good and
hot, not boiling, just at boiling
point, then have eggs beaten
well and mix with thick milk-
Pour into sweet milk, but don’t
boil- Leave on stove until it
separates, stirring frequently
Pour in cheese molds or fine
sieve
“Delicious when cold and eaten
with molasses on it ” she ad
vises.
Here are some other house
hold hints offered as timely re
minders from the Pennsylvania
State University College of Agri
culture-

Place TV Keep the TV set
away from heat or a frequently

circulation, but not a blast of

operation, just as with an electric
refrigerator

to lose weight or hold your

“hidden” calories. These are ob

The Miller
There a miller; hale and bold,
Beside the river Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till night
No lark so blithe as he;
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be:
“I envy nobody no, not I,
And nobody envies me!”
“Thou’rt wrong, my friend,” said good King Hal,
“As wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light as thine,
I’d gladly'change with the°.
And -tell me now, who makes thee sing,
With voice so loud and, free,
While I am sad^though I’m a king,
Beside the river Dee?”
The miller smiled and doffed his cap.
“I earn my bread,” quoth he;
“I love my wife, I love my friend,
I love-my children three;
I owe no money I can not pay;
I thank the river Dee,
That mill that grinds the corn
That feeds my babes and me.”
“Good-friend,” said Hal, and sighed the while,
“Far'ewell! and happy be!
But say no more, if thou’dst be true,
That no one envies thee.
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown,
"Thy mill, my kingdom’s fee;
Such men as thou are England’s boast,
0 miller of the Dee!”

to very hot water. Fast-colored
cottons, linens and nylons do
better if washed in 110-degree
