an, Atkinson, Nebraska.
Dear Blanche:
Well, I have tomatoes to
can and my ironing to do,
but while the children aie
outside and all is quiet will
try and drop you a line or
two. Boo! It is cold this morn
ing, but one day we are cook
ed on one side from a hot
south wind, the next day we
are frozen on the other side
with a cold north wind. But
me being Holt county home
grown I am content to be as
is. So should not complain.
Surely hope I can wind up
this canning pretty soon.
Would still like to get some
apples. 1 mixed some apples
and wild plums together for
butter that we like pretty
good. I burned it on the bot
tom of my kettle pretty bad,
but found out that Clorox
took it right off.
I made me a mattress cov
er out of white hybrid seed
eorn sacks. It took me quite
a while as I flat-seamed it all
but now that it is done, it is
a good strong one. I put those
dot snappers on the one end
so it could be taken off easily
to wash. * t
I have a dessert recipe I am
going to send along in case
some one would like it. We
cei tainly do.
»R^HMALLOW DES

Many thanks for your letter,
Mrs. hongratz, which all of
us surely enjoyed. 1 am still
canning too, in fact I plan to i
make some apple and plum
butter into jars yet this week.
We had a big lot of apples
this year and I canned 172
quarts of three different kinds
of apples. To beat the high
cost of living 1 have canned
• monies, peaches,
pears, apricots and plums and
prunes. We raised cabbages,
be ts, car ots. beans, cucum
bers, onions, eelerv and toma
toes and I canned a lot of
tnem. but we had to buy a
case of peas. I don’t agree
those nooole who claim
that it is cheaper to buy than
raise a garden. Our garden
and orchards will certainly
trim down our grocery bill.

■Remember that there is a
high protein content in navy
h ms and try serving navy
beans or lima beans more of
ten. Buy them in dry form
and cook them with a little
meat so that you’ll have some
meat. It will cut down on
your meat bill considerably.
For instance: Bean soup made
with a little bacon is very
good. Or you can cook beans
with short ribs of beef and
they’re very good. I partic
ularly like to cook these dish
o- in mv p essure cooker but
they need not be cooked in a
pressure cooker.
Would you like a recipe?
c H^RT RIBS WITH
BFANS: 3 pounds beef short
rihci 1 round navy beans, 2
tablespoons brown sugar, 1
anrj pepper, water.
Soak beans in water over
night. Dram and put in cov
kettle. Add brown sugar,
salt and pepper and sliced on
ion. Cover with water and
simmer 2 hours. Brown short
ribs. Place beans in open pan
and put brisket on top. Cook
.n '^o v r.vr>n until tender
and meat is done, about an
hour. Add mo e water when
necessary. This will serve
about eight. So vou can cut
the recipe in half for smaller
families.
The above is a basic recipe
whicn you mav change to suit
your tastes. I cut it in half,
omit the onion, as I just don t
care for onion in soup, and
cook 2 cups navy beans with
about 1 pound of beef ribs to
make a soup wnkh is really
very good when properly sea
soned.
* * *
BEAN SOUP WITH BACON
—For the bean soup, I use 2
cups navy beans. Soak over
night if you want to shorten
the time. Use the water in
wmcn L.,ms were soaked, add
enough more to make 3
quui w. A tablespoon of salt,
pepper to season and a tiny
clove of garlic. (Garlic may
be omitted if you wish.) Use
a slice of bacon for each mem
ber of the family, rinds may
be used and a cheap cut of
bacon is fine — fat bacon or
I a i , 1 small smoked ham
butt may be used if you wish.
Cook until beans are tender if
you don’t use pressure cooker,
if you do, cook at 15 pounds
pressure lor 20 minutes.
