For the
Farm Wife and Family
There are signs of spring in
the air, but no one can tell what
March may bring. Just the idea
of the grass greening up, some
touches of warmer temperatures,
and plans for gardening all
make one sure that winter’s gone,
spring can’t be far away. Yet
some times March offers some
unpredictable, rugged weather.
It’s planting time, and soon it
will be gardening time As to the
size of your garden, one suggests
selecting plots of two sizes, then
use the one you think ybu can
best manage in the hot, humid
days of summer.
Mrs. Levi Martin, ’up at R 2
Ephrata, sends in several good
recipes this week, and to her
goes this week’s free one-year

writes;

(Lona Mac Dorman)
Some doors have hearts, it seems to me,
They open so invitingly;!
You feel they are quite kind akin,
To all the warmth you find within.
Some doors, so weather-beaten, grey,
Swing open in a listless way,
As if they wish you had not come.
Their stony silence leaves you dumb,
Some classic-doors stand closed and barred,
As if their beauty might be. marred
If any sought admittance there.
Save king or prince or millionaire.
Oh, may mine by a friendly-door; 4
May all who cross the threshold o’er,
Within, find sweet content and rest,
And know each was a welcome guest.
