For the
Farm Wife and Family
It’s barbecued chicken time
and we’d welcome beat
receipes on the best way to pre
pare this taste-tempting summer
food Much has been discussed
and cussed about barbecue
cooking, but you can find no bet
ter chicken, no better steak than
comes off a charcoal-fired pit,
fireplace, or spit.
Send them along and give
the poultry industry, which is a
tremendous factor in Lancaster
County agricultural economy
to Lancaster Farming, Quart y
ville, Pa.

Here’s a welcome letter from
R 2 Manheim, Mrs. Monroe
Dourte, for which this week we
are sending a year’s extension
to Lancaster Farming.
She writes:
I enjoy reading Lancaster
Farming very much We all know
“vanetyb is the spice of life,”
and that is one of the good
things about Lancaster Farming.
I enjoy the news from Lancas
ter County because that’s home
news Then I appreciate Dr
Foreman’s article on the Sunday
School lesson, which supplies the
Christian emphasis Also the an
nouncements of the religious
broadcasts, then, of course, the
page for the Farm Wife and
Family.
I was born and raised on a
farm, mained and helped my
husband on the farm for 37 years.
We are retired ten years, but
still live on the farm, which to
us seems the best place to live
whether one is young or getting
older
Here are a few hints I have
found helpful and economical:
DREDGING
When a recipe says, “drddge
with flour,” I put flour and sea
soning in a paper bag (a 5-lb
granulated sugar bag is fine),
drop in the food which can be
fish, chicken livers or what have
you, and shake well
The food will be evenly coat
ed, no flour will be wasted, and
no mess Also doughnuts can be
easily sugared by placing sugar
CLOSED SATURDAYS
and the doughnuts in a paper bag,
then shake
FLOUR FOR CORN STARCH
Flour can be substituted for
corn starch. Use twice as much.
DOUBLE BOILER USE
Cook eggs in the shell in low
er part of your double boiler
while cereal or .other food is
cooking in the top section.
CARE OFGLASSES
Avoid cracking jeflly glasses
or glass dishes by setting them
on a cloth wrung out of hot wat
er, or by putting a metal spoon
in glass or dish while pouring hot
jelly or food.
USE WATER SPARINGLY
To save vitamins and min
erals, as well as fuel, most vege
tables should be cooked in the
smallest quantity of water and
with low heat.
OVEN MEALS
Save nickels and dimes, time
and footsteps by using ovens for
preparing complete meals, rather
than single dishes.
SOAKING FRUIT, BEANS
If you soak dried fruit, beans,
etc, in water overnight or at
least lor several hours, you can
save time and fuel.
TO BOIL QUICKER
Add a little salt to the water
in your double boiler and it will
come to a boil much quicker.
That’s why we call a good ar
ray of household hints. Many
thanks, Mrs Dourte, and for
your comment, “Yours for clean,
wholesome reading for our homes
and children.”

A short note from S reader at
RD 1 Baieville, Mrs Paul H.
Neidermyer
“Dear Sir Have you had a
Black Joe Chocolate cake receipe
in your paper about six weeks
ago 9 I mislaid mine and am not
sure if I saw it in your paper. I
know I tried it and it was very
good It took hot water last in
the batter.
I usually, cut out the recipes
ancf, tape them on cards for my
index file, but forgot when I got
busy.
(Can’t recall any receipe for
Black Joe Chocolate Cake, but
should you have one, send it to

is your favorite 9 These are some
favorite recipes for each, but I
like all three.
