Interesting reading from depression era

This may have been posted here before, but for those who haven't seen it, I thought some might find it interesting reading. Scroll down to almost halfway to read about a method for feeding chickens during the winter to encourage egg-laying.

What a neat story. I love to hear how people used to live. They seemed much happier than people today, don't you think?

Glad you enjoyed it. There is a lot more reading on the site, and they just worked so hard without complaining, it seems.​

Haha, we killed the page! It tells me that it's down for maintenance or because of capacity problems! I love reading things from the Depression.

I can't remember where I found this, but this is a link to Depression recipes by a 90 something year old. Very fun to watch, she's a hoot. Very family friendly cooking video.

Oh the good ol'days, what a good way to end the night with a great read like that. Kind of mellows the soul a little.
