It's going to: the greens. again,
It seems.. I had a very nice letter
this week, that I appreciated very
much. It referred to: an article,
in a Family Herald •.of :'a few
weeks, ago, recommendinig dande-
lion', greerns,, lamb's .quarters and
my pet chives.' I 'think .most rural
homes •subscribe to ' this . paper,
and'.wall :,probably. have that is-
sue :in• the house yet. I'd suggest
you hunt -it • up and.:read it, , if
you, haven't alreadydone so. It''s
a very' good idea to keepa scrap-
book of such clippings. I have
a'' whole drawer full, and I'm ;a1
.'ways going to start a scrap book
'next` winter". I was:quite quite flat-
tered to hear of a Sentinel read-
er, who has a scrap book of,Rose-
:nary. Thyme's !This:'n' that" .
keptup-to-date too.
