Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, you fascinating folks
Bet some of you have garden
in all ready. I got to pouring ov
er the flower and garden book
today and in my mind I spent
lot of cash. As long as it was i)
my mind, and not on paper,
guess I oouW afford it. Grin.
I’d like to have an old-fash
iorted hybrid, perpetual pink ros«
that wouldn't turn brown whei
it blooms. It seems our season

. d»„. bloom only once,
KeaM and Fran Karl
Druschki off-and-on, mostly in
June. But I would love a good
pink old-fashioned rose.
Ah well, my climbing rose does
well in spite of bad weather,
and all else that happens to it,
showering us with tmy clusters
of red roses. I do love them and
they make such pretty bouquets
although the blooming season is
not very long.
Still got some apple sauce
left in the cellar? How would
you like to make up a batch
of apple sauce cookies today?
I have made these and we like
them -maybe you wi 1 too, al
though cookie tastes vary, I
know.
APPLE SAUCE COOKIES
One-fourth cup shortening, I
cup sugar, 1 egg, 2 cups flour, hi
teaspoon cinnamon, Vi teaspoon
cloves, hi teaspoon salt, Vi tea
spoon baking powder, 1 cup thick
unsweetened apple sauce. Cream
shortening, add sugar gradually,
stirring continuously. Whip in
egg. Mix dry ingredients thor
oughly, add alternately with the
apple sauce, adding flour first
and last. Drop from a spoon on
a buttered cookie sheet about 2
inches apart. Bake until nicely
browned in a 350 F. oven. Re
move the cookies with a spatula
before they cool. One-half cup
raisins, or nutmeats, or a mix
ture of the two may be added.
A good refrigerator roll is a
good thing to have in the recipe
file. This Bran Refrigerator Roll
is a bit on the different side and
may suit the family fine if they
like bran in baked things.
BRAN REFRIGERATOR ROLLS
One cup shortening, 1 cup wa
ter (boiling), V4 cup sugar, 1 cup
bran, 6 cups flour or more (sif
ted before measuring), iy« tea
spoon salt, 2 eggs, (well-beaten),
2 compressed yeast rolls, 1 cup
lukewarm water. Mix shorten
ing, boiling water, sugar, bran
and salt, stirring until shorten
ing is melted. Let stand until
mixture is lukewarm. Add eggs
and yeast cakes dissolved in
- lukewarm water. Add flour. Beat
thoroughly. Cover bowl and
place in refrigerator overnight
or until ready to use. Form balls
of dough to fill muffins tins a
bout half full. Let rise three
• hours. Bake at 400 F. about 15 to
| 20 minutes.
» If the family would prefer a
plain refrigerator roll, here is
one that I think you will find
satisfactory:
REFRIGERATOR ROLLS
One cup boiling water, y« cup
sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 table
? spoons shortening, 2 cups flour
l (about 2 cups more) 1 cake com
[ pressed yeast, 2 tablespoons luke
; warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1
egg. Mix boiling water, y« cup
’ sugar, salt and shortening and
let cool. Soften the yeast in two
taiblespoons lukewarm water
and 1 teaspoon sugar, then stir
into first mixture. Add beaten
egg and 2 cups flour. Beat
thoroughly then stir in as much
flour as possible, about 2 cups
but do not knead. Cover and put
away in refrigerator until wanted. <
Use only enough flour on board
and hands to prevent sticking
and make into rolls. Let rise 3
hours. Bake at 400 F. for 20 to ' <
I 25 minutes.

Chicken Goes Good
On Cold Days—
"Sandhill Billy’" wins one of
our 3-months’ subscription prizes
today. The other goes to “Just
a Reader.”
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I saw your SOS in The Fron
tier so thought I’d take a chance
on a prize once again. I really
enjoy your column every week.
A friend gives me the paper. You
have problems, too, don’t you?
I have been doing lots of sew
ing this winter. I have made two
vanity sets and started a third.
I can’t crochet so am getting an
other lady to do it.
These cold days chicken goes
good. For dinner today I am
having chicken pot pie. We all
like it. I put it in a large bread
pan, put in the diced chicken,
pour the gravy over it and top
with baking powder biscuits.
Topped off with lemon pie, it
makes a very filling meal
I wish some of your readers
would tell me what's wrong
with my geraniums. They grow
tall and won't bloom. I have
them in small cans. I hope
some one can give me some
advice. What don't I do and
what should I do?
I have an unusual carrot grow
ing in my kitchen window. I took
a large carrot, cut it off till there
was about 4 inches of the top
left. Then with a potato peeler,
I take the center, half down, out
and put a string in the bottom of
the carrot so it can be hung up
and put water in it daily. It will !
ge*t leaves and they grow up
around the carrot like a basket.
Mine is starting to grow nice.
It won’t be long ’till it’s time
for baby chicks. What I wouldn’t
give to be on a farm or ranch
again and raise them, also a gar
den.
But my husband has a very
good job and likes it. So I guess
I will stay here.
I guess I’d better close for now.
Hope this letter solves your SOS
problem. Best of luck to all the
readers of The Frontier. ,

some time, so thought I would
send a lew recipes and also a
lew hints.

can prevent the choper from
slipping.

ite cups cream, pinch of salt, 1
large onion. Mix in order given

Since we have some space left
! and an extra letter to use, we
are mailing out a small gift to
the writer of this letter. In fact,
j the gift was mailed some time
before publication.
Dear Blanche:
Have you tried textile paint
ing/ It is such fun and goes so
fast. Nice for tea towels, lunch
! cloths, hankies and such. Figur
ing painting is fun too although
not so practical, very lovely and
interesting to do. Either kind of
painting makes nice original
: gifts.
I You can’t beat old - fashioned
embroidery for beauty and dur
ability but some times some
thing easier and quicker will do
just as well.
REA has arrived at our farm
and by now we do like and use
it! It is such a help and we would
be lost without it. Isn’t it funny
how we take things for granted
once we get them for awhile?
Here is:

One cup lard, Vz cup boiling
waer, 1 teaspoon baking powder,
1 teaspoon salt. Mix above and
add flour to make stiff, about 2
