unt Rena's Quilt Club or.... Lesson No. 25 One look at this and Grandpa will sit for hours telling you of the days he chopped, or two men with a crosscut saw, pul- Se ling back and forth until the chestnut trees fell to the ground to be split into fence rails for the pasture fields. If the chestnut trees weren't plentiful on his property he may have used oak trees as these would last for many, many years. Sometimes for a temporary arrangement he might have used sassafras etc. In fact, while driving al- ong the roads these days, you flter and I will be passing this beautiful /a.; Fred brick home and see the lawn Cristi and enclosed with some of these Seines of "old timey" chestnut rails Dyke and which  today command a very Jrfolk, W high price, but back then Gr- cky Wills anny would have conked him on i, North the head with her apple butter stirrer- if he had suggested a yard fence of rails, unless they were set in a straight line with Posts. These zig zag fences l wou [ surely have hidden her ev]be- ',al flowers of Hollyhock, Piney's (Peonies), Bleeding t nearti Tea Cup and Saucer ( ! Althea) shurbs etc. that she had !planted around the yard. [ Grandpa split these trees with t ar servic by Irene Boiling a wooden mall as a hammer and a wooden glut for a wedge. If he had a piece of broken steel ax, this was used to make the in- dentation to start the driving of the "glut" beside it. These crooked rail fences were laid six to eight rails high and by criss- crossing the ends they stayed right there and no brute ( live- stock) atempted to jump on of these no matter how green the pasture was on the other side or a big field of corn growing. When Grandpa had all or part of his rail fence laid and re- turned to the homestead for supper, Granny had a big pot of cressy greens, ham, cornbread and other goodies cooked for his meal, besides a big bowl of that scrumptious apple butter she had stirred all day in a tw- enty gallon or maybe more, copper apple butter kettle full of transparent or "Pear Main'" apples she had peeled the night before, maybe with the help of neighbor women, while sitting by lamp light. She may have been lucky to own on eof the "Aladdin" lamps, these were brighter because they had a mantle inside to give more light• She may have just had the plain ones filled with lamp oil ( "As you sew, So shall you Rip" kerosene). While this apple but- ter was cooking all day out- side and being continuously stirred with a stirrer ( some- thing resembling our lawn rakes of today, but with a narrow, longer wooden blade) and long handle , for it was ruined if it stuck and scorched in the bottom of the copper kettle, which sat upon steel bands with legs, over the open fire outside. My job usually was carrying the wood to keep the fire blazing at all times. When the cinnamon sticks or liquid and clove buds crushed in a cloth to powder form were added to taste, at the latter part of the day to the apple butter, talk about an AROMA, this was better than any you ever had. When it was cooled it was put into churns or crocks or half- gallon jars, covered with a cloth and paper, tied with a piece of string tight at the top and there it sat in the cellar ready for winter. to be eaten with hot biscuits and butter or "gimme some more " buckwheat flapjacks. Well, Gramps you've sat here patiently listening to me, now it's your turn to tell us all about the old, split rail fences, while me and Granny hunt up the pieces to make you this "Rail Fence" quilt and after you sleep under it, this will be the best night's sleep you have had in fifty years. Maybe tomorrow we will go out and hunt up the " real thing" and if you will give me a boost, I'll still climb over them like I "usta"• If you are "hankering" after some of that good Die apple butter and know you "ain't gonna Bit it nohow". Make some slightly similar and much fas- ter by buying a box or two of powdered fruit pectin and a bag of cinnamon candies ( this gives taste as well as red color). Use canned applesauce and sugar. Make with the same "recipt" for apple jelly ( add some more cinnamon and cloves powder if desired)• You will have a fair substitute of the old timey kind. Fry up a bunch of flapjacks and start on your diet ...... tomorr- ow.
