Day By Day 
That is what keeps one’s courage up; 
we are called on to live only one day 
at a time. .Although we carry iuuumer- 
ahle tasks over from today to heap up 
t-oinorrow, it is always one day ahead I 
.\iid what a difi’erence .a few moments’ 
rime lias made in the length of the days! 
I cannot adjust myself to the shortening 
liours, so must make use of the night to 
lengthen the days. Tonight I have made 
fair quarts of apple jelly, craked out 
three jiints of walnut kernels and looked 
over the jiapers, so I think, considering 
what I have already done. I am entitled 
to a hit of rest. Speaking of walnuts, 
they are imw selling at Mo cents a pound, 
with prosper-ts of going highei'. If it 
were not for so many other tasks, one 
could ('asily make .$1 per day after the 
walnuts are hulled and dried. When 
hulling, he sure to grease your hands 
thoroughly before beginning, and the 
stain is more easily removed. 
A friend recently told me that in mak¬ 
ing biscuits she always pinched olf a 
pit'ce of the dough about the size of a hen 
egg, and dropped it baek in (he sour milk. 
The iie.vt time she lifts out that piece and 
adds to the Hour with lard in center. 
Work in with the milk. soda, and pinch 
of salt to make a soft dough ; roll thin, 
b.-ike quickly. 'I'he result is better bread 
with less shortening. A few jjotatoes 
mashed tine and addei] is a ludi) to bis¬ 
cuits as well as light bi'ead. 
.\nother day gone by; si.x busluds of 
sweet potatoes wrapped in |»at)er ant!

for the hogs, and I am on the lookout foi 
a reliable recipe to can sweet jmtatoes in 
gla.ss jars, to save the cut ones. \\'hen 
preparing potatm's to bake, e.-ich one is 
bruslietl with a bit of melted butter or 
liirtl. I think it imi»roves the tiavor. and

grav.v. .Vs we are not heavy me.-it <'on- 
sumers it seems to Hll the Itill .-lud suit 
the taste. 'I'lie y(»uug.sters call it bob-so]), 
;ind it is the first thing tlu'y look for on 
(he breakfiist table. ,V bit of fresh or 
canned .soup stock im)iroV('s the flavor, 
or a slice of fresh i)ork frit'd out will 
take the jilace of the lard. 
I.ard and meat are both out of sight; 
Some of our neighbors sold off their bacon 
and lard for lo and IS cents per t»uund ; 
now they are buying it back at 28 and MO 
cents per i»ouud. We sold a calf hide for 
S.M cents, and |)aid .^M.ot) for a fiair of 
No. n child’s shoes. We bought twine 
over a year ago for oO cents per ball; 
now we have to pay .jtl.Mn. Palico for 4 
cents is now IH c«mts per yard, hut from 
the rei)orts of the city dailies the farmer 
is getting rich. Perhai)S they are in 
some localities: wish I knew where it 
was; would like to locate there. .Accord¬ 
ing to government statistics there are 
about seven million farmers in the one 
hundred million jjoimlation. That gives 
ever.v farmer about 1M2 7 mouths to Hll, 
besides his own right here at home. :ind 
.so. to my notion, unless there is siiHicitmt 
help left on the farm to keep the i)lows, 
cultivators, binders, etc., moving, some¬ 
one is going hungiy. .Ali-eady some of our 
women folks have donned overalls .and 
taken a hand in the fodder li(dd.s; there 
i.s no available help to he hired in this

Two Wheatless Breads 
The following recipes are sent out by 
the IT. S. Food Administration. The 
first was supplied by Mrs. J. (\ AVithei- 
spoon of South Carolina, the second by 
the University of Wisconsin: 
Owendaw.—Boil one pint of hominy 
grits with three pints of salted water 
until mixture thickens, then set on back 
of stove and cook slowly until done, 
about half an hour. While hfot mix in 
one large spoonful butter and three eggs 
beaten very light, next add one pint of 
milk and lastly one pint of cornmeal. 
The batter should be the consistency of 
rich boiled custard. If too thick add 
milk. Bake with good deal heat at bot¬ 
tom until the batter is set.- Serve with 
spoon from dish. This is a soft break- 
fa.st bread and a South Carolina spe¬ 
cialty. 
Barley Pone.—One cup boiled hominy 
grits, two cups of milk, two tablespoon¬ 
fuls bacon fat, teaspoonful salt, one 
cup barley meal, two teaspoonfuls bak¬ 
ing powder, two eggs. Add the milk 
and fat to the cooked homin.v grits. 
Cool, add salt, barley meal, and baking 
l)owder sifted together, then the well- 
beaten eggs; pour into a grea.sed dish 
and bake in a moderate oven 45 min¬ 
utes. Cut in triangular pieces and 
.seiwe from di.sh in which baked. 
In economizing with w'heat, however, 
we find very often that milk and eggs 
add to the c<ist of wheat substitutes. 
'I'he farm hou.sekeei)er can use r.;i 
!U-<' staiiipcil on a .siip<M-ioi- (qialit.v soft-tiaished 
white re|»p, niid, wiili .silk to conipleto eiiihroid- 
er.v, costs 'i~> cents for tlie set. 
hut often has to economize with egg.s. 
'I’lie town housewife of moderate means 
cannot use eggs freely when they are 
lit) cents iind ovt'r ji d(jzen, and we 
ihink she will also economize in milk 
at 15 cents a quiirt. She is more likely 
to stiM'tch lu'r whe.it Houi' b.v using po¬ 
tatoes. Cornmejil is nut chetip now, but 
there is a very Itirge jiotato croj), accord¬ 
ing to government reports'. 
Cinnamon Buns Raised With Baking 
Powder 
Will you ask 'Tiik P. N.-Y. sisters to 
give a correct recipe to nnike cinniimon 
buns with .soda or baking i)owder so they 
get soft and spongyIf there is no way 
to make them with soda or baking pow¬ 
der I .should like a recipe to make them 
with yeast. j. ,s. k. 
We make “quick cinnamon buns” with 
a good hi.scuit dough, which is rolled out, 
spread with butter, sugiir and cinnamon, 
then rolled up like a jelly c:ike, cut in 
slices and baked. These buns ai'e very 
light iind nice, but they are not eqmil to 
the rciil Philadelphia cinnamon bun. We 
do not have this recipe, and would like 
some of our friends to supply it. Reciiies 
for real cinnamon buns raised with both 
yeast and baking powder are desired. No 
doubt some of our good luuiseki'epers can 
simply just what ,1. 8. R. desires.
