Ida’s Notebook I Ida Bisser Fall is a time of preparation for the winter season. We harvest and store up food for ourselves and the animals here on our dairy farm. The men make plans to fill the big silos and the com crib. I harvest the edible soybeans, dig potatoes and pull the peanut stalks and hang them-up to dry. The last beans and tomatoes will soon be picked. And this year. I’ll have an abundant supply of sweet, mild Chinese cabbage. It can be used like lettuce in salads, shredded for slaw or stir-fried.

Ph; (215) 488-1025 This has been a good year for gathering nuts. There are so many hickory nuts that our many squir rels cannot carry them all away. The black walnuts cover the ground and I get a backache pick ing them all up. Picking them up is only a small part of the job of get ting nutmeats for cookies. The hulls must be removed and then the nuts are allowed to dry before they are cracked open. Some peo ple actually enjoy picking the nut meats out of the shells. I guess I’m one of them. i R Cl 19 BRANDTS FARM SUPPLY 1 e © n Automatically feeds each cow an Individual Mixed Better Feeding = Higher Profits! "There is a better way!" Have At CHATS WORTH.
