The Frontier Woman . . . Quick Tricks for Picnics By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE The Fourth of July is coming up and maybe you’re going to have a picnic. It’s a good safe and sane way to entertain the youngsters, that is, if you don’t have an accident on the high way. For that matter, you can picnic in ycur own back yard. Here’s a way to make quick baked beans, and if you bake them in brown crockery with a lid, or in a bean pot or a glass casserole with a lid and wrap them in many layers of newspa per, you can keep them hot for noorr consumption. Use one large can pork and beans and add about Ya cup white sugar or 1/3 cup brown sugar (or you can use molasses or, maple syrup). Add Ya cup to mato catsup and two or three slices of bacon. Stir well and bake in a greas ed casserole for about an hour at 375 F. To save dishes and make it more fun for the kids, buy a batch of ice cream cones. Most grocery stores sell them. Serve the ice cream to everyone in these. Tastes so good. If you like some different tast ing stuffed eggs, hard boil them as usual, split the eggs and nee the yolks. Then add salad type sandwich filling, a bit more sugar and a touch of vinegar. Refill the egg halves and sprinkle with paprika. Potato chips are good for pic nics. They won’t spoil from the neat, are easily served and can be eaten from the fingers. Potato straws can be bought canned and be served in the same way. — tfw — Mrs. Pickering Wins Subscription— Redbird, Nebr. Dear Blanche: Yesterday when the mail came, I was very pleasantly re minded that I had forgotten to send you the pickle recipe I had promised when I last wrote to you. A lady from O’Neill wrote and asked me to send her the recipe Of course, I did. ' SWEET PICKLES Wash two gallons small cu cumbers and place in a stone jar. Make a brine of salt and water strong enough to float an egg and cover cucumbers, weighting them down to keep them in the brine. Soak in brine for seven days. Remove cucumbers and split each one lengthwise. Soak in cold water 24 hours, changing the water four or five times. Then add two tablespoons pow dered alum to enough cold water to cover cucumbers and soak in this solution for 24 hours. Next simmer the pickles for 30 min utes in a solution of three ta blespoons powdered sugar and enough water to cover. Rinse well and drain thoroughly, then place pickles back in stone jar. Scald each morning for five mornings with the following syrup — seven cups sugar, one quart vinegar, two tablespoons mixed pickling spice (tied in a rloth bag). You may add green food col oring. I prefer to use three cups sugar in the original syrup, add ing one cup each successive morning until seven are used. On the fifth day the pickles are ready to eat or can. I have been busy picking ber ries the past two weeks. We set out a patch of black raspberries last year and they did very well, I think, as I have picked 48 quarts of berries. They are de licious fresh with cream and sugar and I’ve made a number of pints of jam that will help solve the school lunch problem tjjjs fall and winter. Have you ever picked. dew berries? They are producing abundantly this year, too. I say cne earns those things when they pick them — they are so scratchy and thorny, even the leaves are covered with little stickers. I have canned 20 quarts of them and so far as I’m con cerned they can quit bearing for this year. I surely missed “The Frontier Woman” column when I failed to find it in one or two issues re cently. I always turn first to >our column to read the recipes and helps and see if I know the writer of the letter used. They are always interesting, such a variety of thought and ideas—-it seems I always find a special help or idea each week or a new SWITCH TO SQUIRT Never An After-Thirst ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I recipe for the family to enjoy. MRS. CLAUDE PICKERING SAYS SANDHILL SAL Try to be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. It isn’t always easy, but it gets »sier if you keep trying! Think only the best, work for the best and expect the best. You might get it. Work on improving yourself and you won’t have so much time to criticize the efforts of others. Fertilized Grass to Be Studied On Friday, July 2, at 9 a.m., a group of Holt county farmers, ranchers, businessmen and per sonnel! from the University of Nebraska college of agriculture will leave the courthouse in O’ Neill to see first-hand what so many people are interested in. They will study what can be done to make native grassland produce more hay and beef per acre. Three years of experimental work in this county will be viewed and discussed. The in creased results of clover and grass are “almost unbelievable,” according to County Agent A. Neil Dawes. In 1953, one high yielding plot yielded 3.45 tons of hay per acre while the untreated area yielded 126 tons per acre. The total cost was approximately $17.
