Our geese, which we acquired
last summer, have increased by
having two young ones. They laid
over 50 eggs but only hatched
these few. However, if you had to
listen to their noise only in the
morning you would think we had
50 of them.
On the plus side is the beautiful
sight of them gliding along on the
Conestoga. They don’t even allow
a canoe to pass our meadow
without alerting us as to its
presence. As I watch them I also
see our neighbors’ ducks dipping
and diving under the water as
they play games. The water is
now too cold for swimming as
more and more yellow leaves
float on its surface.
So, the children go motor
boating instead and explore new
shores of the creek near
Talmage. They bring home
crayfish, mussels, and seaweed
for our goldfish.

MORE POWER TO YOU...
You surely can’t keep them
“down on the farm” and I guess
we wouldn’t want to either. As I
write this morning our children
are scattered to the wind.
One has gone shopping at Park
City, another is away training for
a new job with the Federal Land
Bank, one is laboring at a local
stone quarry for the summer, one
is babysitting for the day and still
another is at the Lancaster
Stockyards preparing to show his
4-H pig. Last but not least is the
youngest who has just gone to
Bible School after sleeping in the
tent in the front yard. Only Mom
and Pop are left.

It seems farmers have always
had their ups and downs. The
other week my husband was
telling the family about the
potatoes his Dad raised.
In 1926 he raised a crop which
brought $3.75 per bushel in the

Miller, Rheems, on September

field. That was the year he
bought a new Buick. But along
came 1931 and potatoes brought
the low price of 25 cents per
bushel and no one wanted them.

Always sort vegetables before
storing them, suggest Extension
vegetable specialists at Penn
sylvania State University. Any
bruised or soft vegetables should
be used immediately or
discarded. Don’t store them with
the sound, firm ones. Lettuce and
other leafy greens are best if used
within two or three days. Peas,
broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and
green onions stay fresh one to two
days. Use beans, cauliflower,
clery, cucumbers, okra, peppers
and summer squash within three
to five days. Root vegetables stay
fresh longer between one and
two weeks.
Tempt those tastebuds with
this cool Cottage Cheese
Dressing. In a small mixing bowl
