By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you nice peo
ple'
Did you have any lunch get
ting those ruffled petunias tc
grow? Are the gladiolus as
splendiferous as you hoped
they'd be? Certainly hope s«,
Now is a good time to set oul
iris ana n
you haven‘1
ordered youi
tulips, as yet
better get ii
done now
That goes for
daffodils, too
Do you know
that you can
move Herer
oeallis this
time of year?

Pease I get mine
from nurseries and have plant
ed some the last two years.
Apples are ripening and will
be cheaper than many other
fruits on the market. You may
be wanting to use them in
cooking, and of course you will
be canning them, too.
Try my trick of adding V«
to % cup crushed pineapple
to every quart of apple sauce
ind your family will sit up
and take a new interest on
the subject of apple sauce.
No other fruit can be pre
pared in so many different
ways as apples.
They may be eaten raw,
cooked, made into jams, jellies,
candied, dried canned prepar
ed as apple juice made into
ddar vinegar, or the skins may
be used to make pectin The
housewife likes apples because
they can be made into so many
different appetizing dishes, and
finds much less waste than
with other fruits.
JELLIED APPLE SAUCE
SALAD
This is a salad which is a
smart idea for this time of
year: two cups tart apple sauce,
one tablespoon gelatin in
Yc cup cold water, Vi cup nut
meats, % cup sliced olives.
Melt gelatin in small amount
of water and add to sauce.
Add sliced olives and chopped
auts. Chill until firm.
FROZEN APPLE SAUCE
CREAM
This is another good idea for
this time of year. Season one
cup strained apple sauce, well
sweetened, with a dash each
af cinamon, and nutmeg; add
one teaspoon melted butter,
zo teaspoons lemon juice, and
*wo tablespoons syrup with
* nreserved ginger, and chil
thoroughly Fold in one cup
heavv whipped cream. Turn
into freezing tray of refriger
ator and freeze two to lour
hours, or until firm. Approxi
mate yield: 114 pints.
APPLE NUT BREAD
Cream together' V\ cup short
I ening, one egg. -li cup sugar,
add two-thirds cup apple
sauce, unsweetened, 14 tea
spoon baking powder, Vk tea
spoon salt 14 cup nuts, two
cups flour, 14 teaspoon soda,
three tablespoon sour milk,
bake 45 minutes in moderate
1 oven of 350 F.

Subscription Winning Letter—
A Wheeler county reader
1 wins a three-months subscrip
tion to The Frontier.
Dear Mrs. Pease;
I’ve been going to write and
thank you for the free sub
scription which I received last
Fall but have kept putting it
off until tomorrow, and now
almost a year has passed be
fore I take time to write.
Last evening, I called a
neighbor to find out how she
made her cherry olives 1 had
tasted some at club one day and
thought I’d like to try them.
She couldn’t find her recipe
so we were going to use a
recipe for crab apple pickles.
Then this morning The Fron
tier came and soon the phone
rang. Did I see the recipe in your
column? So after taking time
out to read it over you can
guess what I’m doing this af
ternoon.
Since 1 last wrote to you,
we have a ray of sunshine to
keep us busy. Her name is
I Mary and she really makes
things “hum" around here,
even though she’s only 514
months-old. Her cooing and
laughter accompanies me dur
ing m o s t of my household
tasks as her basket, chair or
I walker are usually close at
| hand. She has long brown
hair and brown eyes like "mom
| my’s". But otherwise resem
i bles daddy.
Of course, she isn’t one bit
l spoiled. She’s the first grand
child and great-grandchild on
both sides of the house. That
j makes seven others besides
i her parents who think she’s
something special.
I really enjoyed all the
"blisxard” letters. I flew out
and wax gone over seven
weeks before I could get
home. Mary was five-weeks

old then and her daddy had
seen her only a few minutes
at four different times so he
really appreciated our home
coming.
I don’t know if any new
brides who go to live on a
farm will have trouble wash
ing butter, but I found that
adding cold water to the churn
when the butter begins to
come, will stiffen the butter
and wash out more buttermilk.
This is especially true if the
cream is too warm and the
! buttermilk does’t separate pro
1 perly. A thorough washing and
plenty of work makes butter
that is firmer and stays sweet
longer. I had a couple of sad
experiences with rancid butter
before I stumbled onto this
! idea.
I also find that setting a juicy
fruit pie on a cookie sheet sav

1 bles out onto the sheet instead
I of in the oven.
Canning time is here again
i and here is a recipe of some
! thing we like.
PICKLED BEANS AND
CARROTS
Cook two quarts whole green
or yellow wax beans in boil
| ing salted water, using one
teaspoon salt to one quart
water. When tender. drain,
preserve liquid. Cook two quart
young carrots, cut in Va inch
strips the same way. Pack in
hot, sterilized jars, alternating
beans and carrots. If you pre
fer, add a slice of onion to the
top of each jar.
Mix the following ingred
ients: Three cups vegetable li
quid, two cups brown sugar,
one teaspoon salt, % teaspoon
pepper, one teaspoon allspice,
one teaspoon stick cinnamon. !
Heat to boiling. Fill jars and
seal. Makes eight pints.
If you have extra vegetable
liquid use it in gravies, gela
tine salads, soups, sauces or
mix with cold tomato juice as
an appetizer. Never throw it
away, it contains valuable vit
amins and minerals.
Guess I’ve rambled on enough
and nap time will soon be ov
er so I’ll have to get busy.

Dear Frontier Lady:
Well, I see this hot weather
doesn’t have you down. It
surely "gets my goat,” but the
last few nights it has been a
trifle cooler. After we had so
many hot nights and couldn’t
sleep the "boss” decided to
screen in part of our large
front porch and finally ended
up screening it all. Some time
in the future we will have a
I Summer sleeping porch.
It has been like a lot of ot
her jobs that are pushing all
the time. We keep thinking we
will surely get that done next |
Summer at least, but there Is
always something else that
needs attention first.
Threshing took my husband
out of his carpentering of late,
until the rains came and stop- 1
ped the threshing. The thresh
ing won’t be much of a job,
once it gets dry enough again.
Grain was poor and most peo
ple combine now, so the straw
(goes back where it belongs.
The corn looks nice here, and
since the rains, is should grow
well. One of our grandsons,
age eight, has been his mother’s
right hand man, while his dad

The only home made movies
that I really like to see, are
the ones that someone took of
mine and me.
Listen girls, before you buy
any of that $24-an-ounce per
fume: Just be sure the man
you want to catch is worth it!
One of the best ways we
know of to kill time is to work
it to death.
The best types of towns have
more grocery than liquor
stores.
Somebody must have a
“screw loose" who says that
carrots are good for the eye

rabbit.
dy and older brother help
thresh, so he and mother had
a treat of roasting ears. They
had just started out to chore
and met his daddy and broth
er at the gate and as the
grandson had a roasting ear
in his hand, he gave them
each a bite. They went on in
the house expecting to find
roasting ears they could eat,
even though they had just fin
ished their supper.
And mother said: “They will
get fooled won’t they, when
they find those three little ears
left.” The eight-year-old said,
“What do you mean, three ears?
I ate those.” So daddy and
junior were fooled all right.
They brought me some of
the nicest wild chockcherries
today. I went right at them
and made them into jelly. It
is lovely.
I noticed in the paper to
day that they are consider
ing having a ladies' lounge
and rest room in O'Neill.
What a blessing that would
be, as the stores have only a
small space for seats, and
one gets rather tired of walk
ing the streets, or sitting in
the car, while the other fell
ow gets his shopping done.
Some of the stores have nice
rest rooms now, but there are
people who misuse them terr
ibly by writing on thfe walls
and throwing trash every
place.
I believe I have rambled on
plenty far now, and should I
be lucky enough for a three
months’ subscription, please
add it to the Charley Ross sub
scription.
I am enclosing a few hints,
too.
When boiling eggs, put a
teaspoon of salt in the water
you boil them in, use more
salt if you cook a large kettle
full, if they should crack, the
whites won’t run out.
Also, when putting eggs to
cook, start with cold water.
The egg shells will come oif
better and use eggs a day or
two old.
When testing eggs to see if
hard or soft, give one a twirl
on the table, if it spins slowly,
it is soft, if fast, it is hard. Or
put that egg you want to be
soft on top of the others that
are nearly cooked. Take dif
ferent colored eggs or pencil
mark them. Then as my daugh
ter said, ‘ The rest can think
those are the ones that didn’t
hatch.”
