bloom up until August.
The mariposa lily with erect, cup
shaped flowers shading from white to
lavender with purple centers dot the
prairie in May and June And on our
sand hills in June appears the spider
wort or spider lily, with blue flowers
and long narrow leaves. The flowers
are three petaled and, when picked,
eXude sticky juice or fluid.
Wild Begonia
Generally, in time for Memorial Day,
the wild begonia, low plant with
creeping roots. flowers pink, one inch
wide with three sepals in large clus-
tiers brightens the sand hills. Also there
is northern bedstraw, with leaves in
whorls of four, flowers white, small
and numerous and fragrant, with COM
pound umbel arrangement of flowers
on slender stalks. These flowers blend
beautifully in a wild flower bouquet
and are found in coulees.
Among species of fleabanes, white
daisy-like flower, is found the woolIy
ground seal, yellow-flowered plant
with stems of flowers arising from a
single parent stem. These, as well as
the low fleabane and the bitter flea
bane, are found in coulees. In June
appears the red mallow or geranium
with its orange, red blossoms and sill
very leaves. This flower grows in any
kind of soil, even thrives in drought sea-
sons.
All these and more wild flowers are
found early in the season. These early
flowers are the loveliest Those that ap.

their increasing sales. From the Mon
tana ranch kitchen to the city apart
ment kitchenette mixes have become
part and parcel of baking and meal
preparation.
According to Bonnie and Ed Peplow,
authors of Roundup Recipes" 1.-THE
cowboy is the real originator of the
modern prepared mixes for biscuits,
cakes, ct al. He'd throw into a sack so
much flour, so much salt, a certain
amount of baking powder, shake them
around bit to mix them, tie the sack
on his saddle and be all set. When he
lit down for the night, he'd put some
lard or bacon drippings in skillet, wa
ter the flour mixture down to the right
consistency and drop it into the hot
grease
The housewife uses mixes for the
same reason the cowboy used them.
They are easy to use, to store and to
carry. They give good results. They
save time and dishwashing. - AMY
MARTIN.

An Editorial
lust How New
Are Mixes?

THERE ARE MORE than 200 pre-
pared mixes on the market today, ac-
cording to one food authority. They
range from pancake flour, which was
probably the first commercial mix,
through biscuits, pie crusts. cookies,
icings, buildings, ice cream and many
others.
At first the housewife eyed these in
novations askance as something which
would usurp her kingdom. She was
critical but the fact that they are so
popular today is certainly tribute to
them. One large flour firm estimates
that nearly one-third of the cakes made
by housewives today are mixes. Gro
GERS also testify to their popularity in

Ranch Office Manager
By MRS. WALKER FLECHSIG, Hill Count,

WHEN l THINK of the changes in my
life these past three and half years,
I can hardly believe I am the same
person.
Twas raised in a town and had never
been on farm except for week or
two during the summer when I was
a small girl. Then married farmer.
The first year of farm life was very
strange l knew nothing of the farm
ing operations or farm business. In
fact, I knew very little of housekeeping
and cooking, but I learned. I loved
all of it from the beginning.
Neither my husband nor had ever
kept very accurate records of our
money before we were married, but

we knew that farmer had to keep rec
ords. I have always liked to keep
books, so that Job was given to me.
started set of books that first year
and improved on them the second year,
but they were still not entirely salts

the end of each month and total the
columns, so had too much adding to
do at the end of the year.

State College to help homemakers keep
accounts both for the home and the
farm. They showed me books sold by
the county agent that were printed

me.
used the books for the first time last
year, and was surprised how easy it
was to keep good record of our
money. At income-tax time this year,
we did not have the headache that
we usually had Even though I do
most of the bookkeeping, my husband
helps, especially with the taxes, so we
both know the routine of the accounts.
At the beginning of each year we
make budget for the time until har-
vest. We also have family conference

are older) every few months to replan
our budget if there have been any
changes.
l know it is hard to budget an I'M
certain income, but we can plan part
of it anyway. We figure just the large
items in the budget-the wheat and cat
tie to be sold, the machinery we want
to buy, the living expenses averaged
from last years accounts, etc.
We also started farm diary. 1t is
hard to remember when we started
seeding or finished harvesting each
year, so each month l write down
the important dates in special note
book. / also write about the weather
the cattle, the canning I did, any new
machinery we bought, and record o
our farming operations. 1t is very in
teresting to look back over the year
and read about the things we hav'
done. l make notes on the calenda
and then transfer them to the boo

of wild flowers is, TO me, very WOFCl-
while and exciting hobby.
Right now is very good time to
begin, as most of our spring wild flow
ers appear in May and June. In our
vicinity the basque flower or "crocus''
makes its appearance in late April,
depending on the weather. Next comes
the phlox, a white or lavender flower
with moss-like leaves and growing mat
like amid the grass. Then appears
Grays biscuit root, with yellow, UNI
bel-shaped flowers, and the mountain
star lily, white with spiky leaves, low
stemmed and very fragrant.
Shortly after, the prairie yellow sweet
pea shows up in coulees and on hill
sides. Then come the tufted milk vetch,
whitish cream colored with silvery
leaves forming cushion-like tuft only
two or three inches wide, and the loco
weed, purple with a reddish tinge and
the flowers standing higher than the
leaves. Yellow and blue violets appear
along the dams and in damp c0uleeS
and SidehillS.
Butte MarigOId
Another welcome flower is the Butte
marigold, a lovely yellow flower with
tufted leaves appearing singly or in
groups of five or six flower heads. The
June berry blossoms, later than those
of the currant, chokecherry and goose
berry, appear Soon the blue beard

have never seen a lovelier sight than
these massed flowers, blue as the
heavens, in full bloom in late May.
On gumbo flats one finds the Downy
Paint Brush, pinkish feathery petals
along a single stalk of rough, weedy
leaves. In late May and early June
the prairies and hillsides are fragrant
with the perfume of the Western wall
flower. This member of the mustard
family blooms all through June.
In shaded wales the star lowered
Solomon'S seal grows, white delicate
blossoms with alternate leaf arrange.
ment The vetches, blue American for
one, trail over shrubs and other small
plants, along fences and in gardens
The small, blue milk vetch appears ii
damp places, while the tall, snowy mill
vetch, with slender white pea-shapet
flowers and pinnately compound leaves
grows all over the prairies of western
North Dakota and eastern Montana
The two-grooved milk vetch, bearing
long clusters of reddish purple flowers
and growing to a height of 2 to
feet can be seen among the sage brusl
or in pasture land.
