Plant Glads at Intervals for Constant
Blooming 10 or 11 Weeks Later
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
If you want to watch the pen
nies at your house you aren’t any
different from the rest of us. if
jour budget is stretched to the
breaking point, perhaps there is
aomewhere you can manage a
Utile extra saving.
Maybe you are not using
enough of the cheaper cuts of
meat. Buy more hamburger,
Serf boil, and soup bones. Try
*ame of the extender dishes
made with other ingredients to
atretch the meat. Variety meats
such as liver, heart, and tongue
caller savings.
Salmon, tuna and canned
Anacheon meats offer savings,
Ado. Remember that pink salmon
mill do very well for salmon
loaf or cakes while you’ll want to
Any the red for salads and such.
♦Canned luncheon meats are
asoally all meat and offer you
more meat for your money.
Bologna, wieners and cold cuts
taro also all meat and with warm
«**■ weather are very appealing.
Bacon squares will often be
'satisfactory and can be had
for a fraction of the cost of
fancy sliced bacon.
You can make your own bis
cuit and pastry mixes, and save
money that way. Many of you
.already bake your own bread,
Ant if you do not, it is another
may of saving money.
Many homemakers are expert
making soap and can do so
at a big saving. It is particular
ly satisfactory for doing the fam
ily laundry.
Eggs are cheaper at this time
of year and can be used more
often for a meat substitute. You
can use canned milk in place of
bottled milk for cooking. It is
every bit as satisfactory and
cheaper yet is the new non-fat
powdered milk that is sold in
packages.

New Materials—
Many of the season’s newest
dresses come in beautiful mater
ials but they can be washed at
home and the cleaning bills
saved will be sizeable by the
time the season is done!
Use drippings more often as
seasoning and save the butter or
margarine for the table. Many
of the new shortings, and lard
are suitable for baking and ever
so much cheaper than using but
ter. Some homemakers think
they simply must use the best
of everything — yet often a
cheaper brand will do just as
well. Often cheaper brands and
cuts have just as much food
value.
Raise a garden this year. The
saving in foods eaten from the
garden to the table is great, and
if you can the surplus the easing
of your budget will be extreme
ly noticeable.

Deep Purple Recommended—
If you don’t have too good
luck with annuals, here’s an
idea that helps me. After the
seed is planted, cover the surface
with either gunny sacks or news
papers. They have to be weight
ed so they won't blow away.
Keep the surface moist but don’t
over do it. When the seeds start
to come up, you can remove the
covering.
If you want some early blooms
from annuals, or you didn’t get
around to order perennials, don’t
forget that you can often get the
things you need from your
greenhouse — usually quite rea
sonable.
One year I bought some deep
purple petunias. Long before my
annuals were blooming, our
hearts were gladdened with the
deep purple of the blossoms.
It’s time to think about plant
ing the first gladiolia, and they
usually need to be treated for
thrips. This is done with a lysol
solution. Don’t forget to do it.
If you plant glads at intervals
of two weeks apart, starting in !
late April and continuing
through May, you will have con- 1
tinual blossoms. Glads bloom 10
to 11 weeks after planting. The
small size bulbs bloom later than '
the larger bulbs, they like a sun
ny location, and will usually
grow everywhere, but, of course,
richer ground will produce
larger flowers and taller spikes.
If your lilacs do not do so
well, remember that they like
a sweet soil. Plant them as early
as possible in the spring.
When planting lilacs do not
Inm the tops any. Lilacs often
respond to applications of
lime, using four quarts of lima
to a large bush each year.
After the lilacs have bloomed,
cut off the old blooms and you
will throw more vigor into the ,
new growth. Cut off just the
bloom itself and not the entire
blooming branch.

Dear Blanche:
I have written several lettters :
but just don’t mail them so I
hope this will finally reach you.
My little girl received several
nice books for Christmas and one
of those stories about the little
“ole” man who changed jobs
with his wife because he figured
she had such an easy life. But
before the day was over, he had
so much trouble that he decided
to do his own task the next day
and she could do her own. I
think a lot of men no doubt feel
the same way as the hard work
is usually done and a nice meal
awaits them when they come
home tired.
But on the other hand, there
are countless women who fail
to realise the load a father
must carry besides his regular
work.
Odd how a little story can
create an avenue of thought.
I have some floors and furni
ture to dust but I find that stop
ping in the midst of routine to
do something one enjoys doing
has a great deal to do with one’s
happiness and disposition. Oth
er than trying to write letters, I
enjoy new recipes. I have found
that a satisfactory way of keep
ing recipes is by pasting them in
an old book. However, I never
paste one in until I have tried it
to see if it is suitable for my
family. That way one can find
a good recipe in a hurry, in place
of keeping hundreds which one
would never use. A good idea is
to paste them in groups such as
pies, cakes, vegetables, etc.
How many readers, I wonder,
keep a vegetable brush handy
for jobs such as washing a meat
mallet or shredder for vegeta
bles? Try it if you haven’t.
This little hint might save
some friend a heartache. Don’t
leave a lemon or the juice stand
ing on any of your porcelain
sinks, stoves and such. I had the
sad misfortune of discovering a
rough spot on my stove where I
let one lie as the acid eats the
surface.

Casserole a Favorite
When Winter Revisits—
Atkinson, Nebr.
Dear Blanche;
Seems as if spring isn’t sure
what kind of weather to give us.
One day the weather has you
thinking in terms of garden,
flowers and chickens. The next
day it’s winter again—like last
weekend. Here is one of our fa
vorite casseroles. It’s nice to
stick into the oven (wood range)
when you leave for church.
When you get home dinner is all
ready.
MARY ANN’S CASSEROLE
One-half pound sausage (I
use left oyer meatloaf, ham or
any other kind of left over meat),
one number 2 can pork and
beans, one large onion (sliced),
Yz cup tomato juice (use catsup
instead of tomato juice if you
prefer), Ya teaspoon pepper, one
cup apples (sliced, leave skin
on), Ya cup brown sugar, two
teaspoons salt, Yz teaspoon chili
powder.
Cook sausage slightly. Pour off
melted fat. Combine all ingre
dients and place in a casserole.
Bake 1*6 hours in a very slow
oven, makes four ample portions.
With this casserole we like
corn muffins:
Sift into bowl % cup yellow
commeal, IYa cups sifted flour,
three teaspoons baking powder,
Yz teaspoon salt, Ya to Yz cup
sugar (we like Yz cup sugar
best), add two eggs beaten and
one cup thick cream. Beat until
smooth. Put into paper baking
cups or greased muffin pans.
Bake in a hot oven of 425 F. for
15 to 20 minutes. Makes lVs doz
en mufffin.
If you have a gelatin salad
in the refrigerator, your meal is
ready for the table in less than
half an hour.

Did You Know That?
Bacon should be placed in a
cold frying pan and not over
crowded? Cook slowly, turning
to cook evenly, and drain on ab
sorbent paper.
Potatoes, breaded egg plant,
onions, sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
cabbage and squash may be
fried in meat drippings? So don’t
waste them.
Green beans, rice, lima beans,
dried peas, corn, hominy, pota
toes and onions may be seasoned
with meat drippings, too?
Bacon fat or ham drippings
may be used as shortening in
cakes, cookies, pastry, muffins,
biscuits, yeast bread and rolls,
griddle cakes and waffles?

SAYS SANDHILL SAL
In the spring a young man’s
fancy is still where it was all
winter, fall and summer.
Most girls fail to remember
that for marriage you have to
wield a mopstick as well as a
lipstick.
Whoever said everything
would come out in the wash
never heard of the neighbor’s
little boy and the oil can.
Explorers, Leaders
on River Outing
A group of Explorer scouts
and seven leaders spent Friday
evening, Saturday, and Sunday,
April 17, 18 and 19, traveling on
the Niobrara between Valentine
and Meadville, 12 miles north of
Ainsworth. The group exper
ienced rapids, log jams, fishing,
and the excitement of being on
their own. All of the food was
carried along, as was tentage and
all other gear. The overnights
were spent on the bank where
ever convenient.
This trip was the second in a
series of such adventures, the
ulitmate purpose being to estab
lish a yearly trip of a weeks
length for explorers from all
over the Covered Wagon counciL
Last year’s trip was strictly an
experiment and was made only
by adults.
