wm T ;hronicles of binger farm ' By Gwendoline P. Clarke Maybe I had bettor start a lios- fiital for silk and injured birds, last week it was a Rreoii linnet 1 ffseiicdâ€"today it was a young robin. 1 went out tlie front door anil tlicrc was Ibis poor little bird fallen out of its nest on to tlic step. So 1 KOt the step-ladder and by hs liclp-and without breaking my town neck â€" I was able to put the bird back where it belonged. 0( cotn-e Mother Kohin was (lying aroiMid chiri)inf> her protcsti;, then as I pin the little bird in the nest it ^tarted luakinf; all kinds ol queer noises itself as if it were being hurt. You should have heard that robin! She circled around my head in a terrific fury. Had she been a biggei bird â€" a crow for instance â€" I would have been fri- ghtened myself, thinkiiig 1 might be in danger of getting niy eyes pecked out. '1 here were three little birds in the nest and I could see the ledge over the door was not really wide enonslit to hold the nest properly. So 1 got .1 shallow box, tore off the end and one side of it and thci' slid it under the nest, with Mother Robin protesting all the while. However, I think now they have a fen.'c rfroini<l the nest the fledglings should be all right. There is certainly nothing pretty about half-grown birds, .^l first sight 1 thought this little robin was some peculiar sort of frog. The Hay it was squatting with its head and legs tucked in gave it th.it appearance. • • ♦ Last Christinas when we lost our fourteen-year-old Mitchie I felt pretty badly about it^and have not yet adopted another house-cat. But Jiow that summer is here I find I am compensated for not havinp a tat by the increased number 'A birds tliat tonic around. The trouble is I often sec and hear birds that I do not ictoignizc â€" and wish I did. • * • The other day there was a bird on the clothesline, mostly dark with a black head and tail feathers very daintily fringed with white. It was a bird I had never seen before, .\iiotlicr lime I saw one with brownish back and wings, grey breast and black and white stripes along the side of its head. Yesterday there were a touple of cedar-waxwings making a real off the l)loshoni> on the cherry trees. I tell I'artner I should like to borrow "Mr. Wimple's" liird-l'.ockl Maybe it would give nie a greater variety of birds tlian do the ones that 1 have. 'Ibcy are nitc little books except that they deal more with the rarer species of birds. I would like to know more about the different kinds of s|)arrows, "wrens and oilier ordinary every- day birds, lor instaiuc, arc there two kinds of starlings â€" one with a \ellow beak and one witli black? • « « One <la> I sau a little brown bird lluttcriiig around tlie lilac busliâ€" it vvas so small 1 tlioughl .it first it was a bumming bird and then I knew it touldn'i be betau'-e I liaie alwavs iindeisiood that a humiiiiiigbird is alwav s on ilic wing whereas this liitle brownie would light on the branches just like any other bird. IVrhaps it was a species of wnn, but that's what I don't knov.. .\niitlier lime, after a heavy rain. I loola d out and saw two or three water-wa.t;tails â€" lliey were the first I had seen since I le'^l I'lngk.nd.

Well Deep River Jim has written a book titled, "Outdoors Guide." It carries just about every- tliiiig anyone would care to know about hunting, lishing. camping aiul woodcraft in general. Among the r.o odd chapters can be found articles dealing with tents, reading tlie weather, tracking game, fishing the wet fly, trcatniciit for snake bites and how to free a snagged hook. This book would be enjoyed by any lover of the outdoors and lual.cs an i<leal gift. » * * There arc always new doo-das coming alon.'T as post-war time- savers.

Willi the warm dav s coming on, the guys will be h.uk at the old trick of pulling their initials on their backs by means of tutting lliciii out of adhesive tape, sticking them on their backs and lying in the sun until they are par-boiled. The results are sonieliiiies efi'eetive if you arc the type that tans well. * ♦ ♦ ON THE SCREEN Carnegie Hall -Here is one of the greatest imisical pictures lo tome out on the streeii. l'"or truly great musit and artists, Holly- wood bad lo go lo New York for Cat's One and Only Trick is Good One I'hifly, a year-old rat owned by the I'hillip I'eleisen fainilly, knows only one Irirkâ€" how Id get into the I'eler- sen home witlunit disturbing any one.

Since veal is a dry meat with really little fat, it is recommended that the lop of the roast be lightly spread with fat. I'Or'iv fat, cither fresh or smoked is excellent for the purpose as il gives a very nitc flavour lo 'he meat. It will also mean that more gravy of good colour can be made. Rolled or flat roasts are placed on a rack and rolled ones are turned every half hour. All veal roasts should De basted occasionally.
