For the
Farm Wife and Family
First of all, we start off this
week with a correction. Here
we give a Chocolate Cake that
wins its distinctive position
through salad dressing, and
w« left out the salad dressing.
But thanks to Mrs. W- C- Tibsh
man of Terre Hill, we’re willing
to rectify the error and reprint
the entire recipe, which won a
year’s subscription to Lancaster
Farming for her.
Here it is again:
CHOCOLATE CAKE
One cup sugar
Two cups flour
Four tablespoon cocoa
One and one-half teaspoons
soda
Sift together these ingredients,
then add
One cup salad dressing
One cup cold water
Mix well and bake in 350-de
gree oven
“Thank you so much for the
free subscription to Lancaster
Farming,” Mrs. Hibshman writes,
“I certainly will enjoy reading it.
Perhaps some housewives might
have tried the recipe and it
would possibly be a if
they did not add the salad dress
ing. Thank you.”
And thank you, Mrs Hibshman

year subscription for Lancaster

From RD 1 Pequea, we have a.
nicely-written letter from a
housewife who prefers that her
name be withheld. Here it is:
“I want to thank you for send
ing me your paper- Here is a
Household Hint: For keeping
turnips in the fall, cut tops off
and put them -in an old lard can
that has- a tight fitting lid. Does
n’t matter if the can has some
holes In the bottom If the tops
(aren’t cut off to close, they will
grow out “again and the tops
help make a good salad.
“I take a turnip, wash and
scrub it, cut out any spots, but
don’t peel- Shred it fine, cut the
yellow tops in, put your favorite
salad dressing on it or sweet
vinegar with some chopped-up
Bard-boiled eggs and sprinkle
with paprika. Here you have a
tasty, inexpensive salad.
Household Hint: If you have a
small family or like to make a
baked dish, just get a small port
able oven to fit tightly over your
stove burner and you can bake
as nice as in your large oven,
and it doesn’t take as much elec
tricity.
