Escaped Hail Storms and Floods
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you tall, dark
and handsome, short, fat and
likeable people! I know you’re
all mighty busy at your house
this week, because all of us
are. Canning has reached its
peak.
If you’re making pickles you
might like to know that grape
leaves added
to the pickles
while you are
brining them,
will give them
a good green
color. The
same is true
when you can
pickles by the
quick method,
adding the
__ green gnape
Blanche Spann leaves will
Pease give the P»ck
les a good,
green, harmless, color.
To prevent discoloring of ap
ples when you are making ap- j
plesauce, remember to cook
them in an enamel or granite
ware kettle and to stir with a
wooden spoon.
When I can applesauce, I like
to add half a cup of crushed
pineapple, to very quart of ap
ple sauce. You have a much
more flavorful product this way.
When you are peeling peach
es for canning, dip them into
vinegar-salt water. Use 2 table
spoons of each to 1 gallon of
cold water. This will keep them |
from discoloring. Rinse them
before canning.
You can add flavor to canned
pears by various methods. For
instance, use the juice and rind
of half an orange to each quart
of syrup. Remove the rind be
fore packing pears.
For cinnamon pears use 2 to
3 tablespoons red hots to each
quart of syrup.
For ginger pears: Use ginger
tea (water in which ginger root
is boiled) instead of plain water
for making syrup.
For pineapple pears, use pine
apple juice instead of water for
making the syrup. And for
plum pears use tart, red plum
* juice instead of water for mak
ing pears.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
Pickling time is drawing a

like some pickle recipes.

Farm Wife Soliloquy—
Dear Mrs. Pease:
Harvest is in full swing on the
farm. The alfalfa has been cut
for tiie second time, the grain
is in the shock awaiting the
threshers who will arrive ’most
any day now, the corn has been
laid by for some time and the
! wild hay crop is being stacked.
This year, on the farm, has
been a fruitful one. So far the
crops that are harvested have
been good, and the ofies still in
I the growing process look very
| promising. The hail storms and
| floods that have hit in parts of
the country were terrible and
j we feel fortunate to have escap
I ed them and hope they have
1 worn themslves out by now and
do not strike again.
Wasn't July a lovely
month? Such nice rains and
cool nights for sleeping, so
different from the usual hot,
dry, windy weather we get
in July.
It seems the summer has
flashed by us, for soon school
children will be starting back
to school. I helped clean the
schoolhouse this week in prep
aration for the coming year and
it seemed only last week the
youngsters came bounding home
overjoyed at the prospects of a
3-month vacation. How very
true it is that time waits for no
man.
The busy housewife has found
that “time waits for no wom
an," too, especially now with
canning and a dozen other jobs
wedged in to the already full
circle of household duties. 1
' guess I have taken up enough of
your time. I will send a few
Did You Know’s and then sign
off.
When you heat milk for cus
tards, or puddings, it will not
scorch if sugar is sprinkled in
the milk.
If you heat lemons in boiling
water a few minutes before you
squeeze them you'll get twice as
much juice.
If you rub a little butter a
round the top of the kettle the
jelly won’t boil over.
If you put a teaspoon of but
ter in the cold juice before you
boil it for jelly there will be no
scum on the jelly.
If you sprinke salt in the
grease before you put the chick
en into it to fry, you’ll have less
popping on your stove.
“A FARMER’S WIFE”
SANDHILL SAL
There is a saying that you can
lead a horse to water but you
can’t make him drink it. Well,
you can tell your wife you’re
nandsome, but you can’t make
her think it!
I told her she looked like a
million. She loved it. The funny
part of it was she looked every
year of it!
Good luck follows some peo
ple all their lives—and some it
never catches up with.
The people always looking
for 4-leaf clovers would get
rich quicker mowing the lawn.
