An Attractive Home Means 
Contentment 
Keep the children at home by making 
them proud of it. The most effective 
and economical way to do this, is to 
beautify the lawn. Careful arrange- 
ment and good plants are essential. Our 
Landscape Department has specialized 
in this work, is familiar with Wiscon- 
sin conditions, and has probably the 
largest assortment of choice nursery 
stock in the state to select from.

Rye Hoe-Cakes 
The legend of rye hoe-cakes still 
lingers in hoe-cake country. 
These crisp cakes are served like 
the English toasted muffins — that 
is split, buttered and spread with 
marmalade. Rye hoe-cakes may 
be the Scotch representative of 
this tea room specialty, or they 
may be a survival of the famous 
cakes that King Alfred allowed 
to burn while he dreamed of 
battle. 
Rye hoe-cakes are made from a 
three to one rye and wheat flour 
biscuit dough. Roll very thin and 
bake on the iron griddle or “hoe”. 
And by-the-way the “hoe” is the 
stove lid and not the chopping 
hoe. Brown slowly on both sides, 
pile up where they will keep hot, 
and send to the table when you 
have an ample stack — it takes a 
whole rye stack to go around.

Plants that are inclined to mil- 
dew may be dusted with liver of 
sulphur. The best plan, however, 
is to remove the cause of mildew, 
which may be a draught of air or 
moisture conditions.
