(Answer below.)
Ask the Old Farmer: My
mother used to make two

loaf called “toad-in-the-hole”
and a tart pie. Are you
familiar with these? C.A.,
Pittsburgh.

Teach Small Children
to Pick Up
Once children get into the
habit of cleaning up after
themselves, they’ll
automatically drop soiled
clothes into their own
hamper. To get your
children to accept this habit,
Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson,
Extension clothing specialist
at The Pennsylvania State
University, suggests you
place an extra laundry
hamper where children wash
after playing outdoors. This
way you can keep their
extra-grimy garments
together and away from less
soiled items. An extra
hamper also prevents soiled
-sometimes dripping
clothes from leaving trails of
mud and water through the
house.
