6—Lancaster Farming, Friday, March %, 1956
For the
Farm Wife and Family
One of the most enjoyable
notes we’ve had in a long time
is a card from Mrs Benuel S.
Blank of R 2 Narvon. In her own
words, “We enjoy Lancaster
Farming very much. Here is a
recipe that is a little different
and will bring good results.
SUNSHINE PIE
A pound of patience
You must find
Mix well with
Loving words and kind,
Drop in two pounds
Of helpful deeds
And' thoughts for
Other peoples’ needs,
A peck of smiles -
Will make the crust,
Then stir and bake
It well you must.
And now I’ll ask
That you try,
A slice from oft our
Sunshine Pie

a household and in many a
menu. This week we’re offering
several Lenten recipes that are
good any season, especially good
when variety is needed at this
time of year. But don’t forget,
fish and seafoods make excellent
change from the customary diet,
Quality manufacturing is the by

CAN ANYONE HELP?
We have another card
from a reader on R 2 Narvon
who writes:
“We have two flowering al
mond shrubs in our yard,
and we do not know how to
care for them. How should
we trim them, and what kind
of fertilizer do they need for
best results?
If you have an answer, send
it to, Lancaster Farming, and
we'll forward the replies
The stormy March has come at last
.With-wind and cloud and changing skies.
I hear the rushing of the blast
That through the snowy valley flies.
Ah, passing few are they who speak,
Wild, stormy month, in praise of thee;
Yef, though thy winds are loud and bleak;
Thou are a welcome month to me.
For thou, to northern lands again
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle train
And wear’sf the gentle name bf Spring.
And in thy reign of blast and storm
Smiles many a long, bright sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm
And heaven puts on the blue May.
Then sing aloud the rushing rills
And the full springs, from frost set free,
That brightly leaping down the hills,
Are just set out to meet the sea.
The year’s departing beauty hides
Of wintry storms the sullen threat,
But in thy sternest frown abides
A look of kindly promise yetr „
Thou bring’st the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers.
When the wide bloom on earth that lies,
Seems of a brighter world than ours.
