Recipe Swap
A few of our readers have answered the requests made
for some special recipes and today we are printing those.
Today’s Recipe Swap includes caramel com, com pie,
butternut custard pie, and Moravian Christmas buns, and
molasses peanut brittle. We’re also including a late entree
from last week’s stuffing theme in the Home on the
Range.
We have a request for venison sausage that is not as
sweet as the sweet sausage, and we’re still looking for
recipes for candied dill pickles, hubbard and butternut
squash, pot pie, and cuff ins, those items that are
described as a little bit cupcake and a little bit muffin.

Newly seeded lawns should be mowed
MEDIA - When newly seeded lawns grow to a height of
three to four inches, it is time to mow, but one should not
cut closer than Vk inches, according to experts.
Allowing the grass to grow too tall will be harmful to the
slower germinating types of grasses. This is particularly
important m situations where a mixture was seeded which
contained temporary grasses such as ryegrass or redtop.
Mowing a new lawn at an early stage is necessary to
encourage the grass to form a dense sod. If not mowed,
the new lawn will produce a tall rank type of growth and a
thin sod. In mowing a new lawn, one should remember to
keep the mower sharp and properly adjusted to provide a
clean smooth cut and avoid damaging the grass.
