B—Lancaster Farming, Friday, April 6, 1956
For the
Farm Wife and Family
Easter’s over and the letters
are pouring in from all sections
where Lancaster Farming is
read. We’re most happy to have
them, and ask that you keep
them coming. Perhaps this re
sponse is best described by this
week’s winner of a one-year ex
tension to her Lancaster Farm
ing subscription, Mrs L H. Le
fever, R 4, Manheim, who writes -
We are enjoying your
“big little” paper very much
and we want to thank you
for the earlier sample
copies. I usually turn to the
recipes and household hints
first, then go back and read
the rest. We are enjoying
home made bread I am mak
ing, using the recipe I got
in Lancaster Farming, and
that tempted me to send in
a few recipes that we as a
family liked:

Mix well.- Batter should be
stiff enough, to cut out with a
spoon Fry in deep fat. If the
cakes have too many “legs”
when dropped into the hot oil,
the batter is too thin, and the
cakes actually turn over when
one side is done.
We hope that folks will enjoy
them as much as we did-
Here is another one we liked:
SYRUP FOR PANCAKES ,
One cup brown sugar
One cup' water
One-half teaspoon vanilla

SHE SEEKS A POEM
“I would also like to ask
some information in regards
to a poem we learned in
school, but can’t remember
all of it. Pernaps some read
er could help me find it. I
dc.n't remember the title,
perhaps it was called the
“The Lost Lamb,” Mrs; Le
fever adds.
“It was in the Baldwin Read
er, second or third if I remem
ber correctly, anyway the verses
ended with
“Storm upon the mountain,
Night upon its throne,
And the little snow-white
lamb -
Was left alone, alone ”
“I would be very grateful if
someone could help me locate
the poem,” she concludes
How about it? Anyone re

have a favorite you’d like
included on the Women’s
Page, send it along.

The first time I threw it away
Was when I got the coat
To clean, and emptied pockets, and v
There was the fishing float.
And with old rubber bands and strings
Hooks made from pins in haste,
The,battered float with broken tip
Was added to the waste.
Again it turned up; once more I
Disposed of it, but then
I cleaned his chest of drawers one day
And there it w T as again-.'
I turned it slowly in my hand
And wondered why our son
Had rescued, kept this close without
A. word to any one.
And then I guessed the reason and
Returned it to its place,
Resolved that'we adults would try
To slow our rapid pace
To his because the float was split
Hie day his dearest wish
Came true that wondrous ONLY time
His DAD took him to fish.
