Send your letter to LANCASTER FARMING, Quarryviue, ra- “Thanks again,” Mrs. Shreffler adds, to which we may add too, “Many thanks ” For some time, one of our most faithful readers has been Violet Preston of Coatesville, and as I promised last week, we’d start off with a letter from her, and one answering one of her earlier ones: “I have moved to an apartment now, and my new address is 621 East Lincoln Highway, Apt. 10, Coatesville, Pa It’s very nice here Please ask some of your people if they will send clothing packages I requested earlier to my new address About the old clothes, I can sew here and fix anything they send. I have re ceived some packages so far, but wish I could hear from some more. I thank vou very much for what you have done. Mrs Preston also enclosed a recipe, one for Cut rhubarb in the morning, or if you purchase it, always keep it in a cool place until ready to cook it Strip off the skin, and cut into pieces about an inch long Stew m just enough water to prevent _ its burning. When cold, sweeten to taste Cover the pie plates and roll the upper crust about one-half inch thick. Cut into strips an inch wide, and after filling the plate with rhubarb, place four cross pieces on the nm Bake one-half hour. “This is from the 1872 cook book I mentioned earlier, ang it is very good. My grande father gave me the cookbook when I was a girl. If there are any good receipts anyone wants, I will give it to them if they write me- Now from Coatesville to Man heim, and a letter from Mrs Harry Lehman, R 2, who writes. “I have received a few copies of Lancaster Farming in the mail and enjoy reading it. I saw in the July 13 issue that Mrs PrestOn is collecting clothing for needy families Could you give me her address? Maybe I could help her a bit (Mrs-- Lehman, your answer is in the earlier paragraphs, and we’re happy to help you— f?h. 24291 •k d* RHUBARB PIE • • Hosts at Holstein Field Day iJPHP iPl^^ \irV«>* ? u** f 1 ( Speaking for his wife and himself, Mowery Frey here welcomes the hundreds of visitors at his farm Tuesday during the Lancaster County Holstein Breeders Field Day.

Juice of one lemon One-half cup water Pinch of salt Sweeten to taste. Pour this over cabbage and mix well. A little green pepper mixed with the cabbage is also good. For those that like a little coloring in their cole slaw, I suggest you put a drop of yellow coloring in. * r Here, Mrs Lehman adds, is also a recipe for CANNING PICKLES Two cups Vinegar Four cups water Two tablespoons sugar Three-fourths tablespoon salt Bring to a boil, and add your pickles Boil until pickles turn color, just a few minutes. Put pickles in jars and add syrup while boiling. Seal jars at once. Here’s a recipe we’ve wished for quite a while and one I’m sure many of our out of-state readers will enjoy, once they try CANNED SPICED CANTALOPES Two and one-fourth cup sugar Three cups water One and one-half cups vinegar One teaspoon salt One drop cinnamon oil ‘ Boil this syrup -and cool. Peel and slice cantalopes Plaeff in jars and fill to within one inch of top with syrup Seal and cold pack one-half hour. Makes ten pints. Thanks, Mrs. Lehman, for adding to our collection some thing new. - » Here’s a nice list of recipes from a modest reader up East Earl way “I’m sending two receipts which we are very fond of. When you publish these re ceipts, please do not use my name, just the initials, Miss EH. * * ♦ To this reader, whom we can’t identify by name' in these col umns goes free a year of Lan caster Farming for her receipes MARASCHINO CHERRY CAKE One-half cup shortening One and one-half cups sugar Three cups sifted cake flour Three teaspoons baking pow dei One-half teaspoon salt One cup maraschino cherry jurne and water mixed One-half cup chopped nuts 18 maraschino cherries cut fine Five egg whites Cream shortening and one cup sugar.
