QUESTION Glenda Strouse, Northumberland, would
like to know the title and author of an excerpt from the follow
ing poem. The complete poem appeared in the 12/9 issue, but
we need to condense for space. It's her grandmother’s favo
rite poem and she could recite every word until a stroke took
her voice. She is 89 and in a nursing home, but Glenda reads
this pdem to her every Christmas. Glenda said that there may
be parts missing or wrong since she wrote it from memory.
The yule log blazed in the ancient hold.
The begger shrank from the biting cold.
The baron’s only daughter, the little Lady Grace
was better dressed than any guest and fairer in the face.
Yet never a thought of pride had she
as she gaily danced round the Christmas tree.
QUESTION—Mrs. David Fisher, 1068 Back Maitland Rd.,
Lewistown, PA 17044, is looking for “Engine Whistles,” the

QUESTION Al Freysz, Middletown, Md., would like to
know where to obtain parte for a Bonanza apple parer.
QUESTION David Hoover. Ephrata, wants to know if
Joseph Barr one dollar bills are collector items. There are five

ANSWER Thanks to Stan Kitchen, Dallas, for sending
recipes, which really answer three requests: Betty Bronson
wanted recipes for beef jerky made with strips of beef and also
one made with ground beef and then dehydrated. Joanne
Trombley's husband wanted recipes for marinades for beef
jerky.
Remove all fat from round or other venison steak cut in thin
strips, cutting along grain of meat or it will fall apart while
cooking.
Place meat side by side in a square container. Sprinkle with
salt, pepper, and liquid smoke.
Repeat layers until meat is used up. Weigh down top with
heavy cover. Chill overnight.
In morning drain off liquid and pat dry. Place toothpick
through one rack placed at top of oven.
Line bottom of oven to catch dripping. Bake at 250 degrees
until dried about 3Vi to 4 hours. Cool. Store in light container
in refrigerator or at cool temperature.
Jerky
Cut beef strips with grain about the size of a piece of sliced
bacon. Remove all fat. Prepare pickling solution.
Add enough cool water to an earthen crock to cover meat
you want to brine, about 2 gallons.
Add kosher or pickling salt to water until a whole raw egg (in
shell) floats.
Add about 12 bay leaves, small handful of peppercorns, 2
large tablespoons dry mustard, 2 cupsJarown sugar. Stir until
dissolved. Soak venison in brine solution for 24 hours in a cool
place.
Remove from brine, wash meat in water, rinse out crock
and add 2 gallons fresh water. Soak venison in clear water for
8 hours. Remove from water and trim off any fat missed the
first time.
Dry meat (this step is very important) because you want to
dry smoke the meat, not cook it. If too much moisture is pre
sent, the jerky will not store well. However, if you choose to
keep it refrigerated when completed, drying the meat com
pletely is not important. Use one of the following methods to
dry meat.
Hang meat on clothesline in basement.
Paper clips make handy hooks
Hang meat outside on a cool day.
Place several layers of paper towels, repeat process, alter
nating layers of meat and towels. Place in refrigerator, uncov
ered. Change towels if necessary after 8 hours (this is my
favorite method).
Place in smoker and smoke for 8 hours, usually about 3
pans of chips are required over that period of time.

ANSWER—Bernice E. Haas, Emmaus, wanted the words
to the following poem supplied by Marianne Zimmerman of
Orrstown.
The Crust
/ must not throw upon the floor
The crust I cannot eat.
There’s many a little hungry one
Would think it quite a treat.
My parents take the kindest care
To get me wholesome food.
And so I must not waste a bit
That may do others good.
The corn from which my bread is made
God causes it to grow,
'Tis sad to waste what He has given
He would both see and know.
’Tis wilful waste makes woeful want
And / may live to say.
Oh haw I wish I had that bread
Which once I threw away.
