The Seaforth News, 1947-06-19, Page 6HRON ICLEs OF INGER FARM ' By Gwendoline P. Clarke Maybe I had better stat a hos- ' • ppital for sick and injured birds. Last week it was.a green linnet I Yescued—today it was 'a young robin. T went Mit the front door 'gnd there was this poor little bird fallen out of its nest on to the step. go I got the step -ladder and by hs help—and without breaking my own neck—I was able to put the bird back where it belonged, Of course Mother Robin was !tying around chirping herprotests, then as I put the little bird in the nest it started making all kinds of queer noises itself as if it were being hurt. You should have heard that robin! She circledaround my head in a terrific fury. Had she been a bigger bird—acrow for instance—I would have been. fri- ghtened myself, thinking,I 'might be in danger of getting my eyes pecked out, * There were three little birds in ihe nest and I could see the ledge. ,over the door was not really wide 'enought to hold the nest properly. So I got a shallow box, tore off 'the end and one side of it and. then slid it under the nest, with Mother Robin protesting all the while. However, 1 think now they have a fence around the nest the fledglings should be. all right. 'here is certainly nothing pretty about half-grown birds. At first sight I thought this little robin was some peculiar sort of. frog. The way it was squatting with its head and legs tucked in gave it that appearance. • * * * Last Christmas when we lost our fourteen -year-old Mitchie I felt pretty badly about it—and have not yet adopted another house -cat. But how that summer is here I find I am compensated for not having a cat by the increased number of birds that come around. The trouble is I often see and hear birds that I do not recoignizc-- 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. Another time I saw one with brownish back and whip, grey breast and black and white stripes along the side of its head. , Yesterday- there were a couple of cedar -waxwings making a real off the blossonte on the cherry trees. I tell Partner 1 slioulU like to borrow 'Mr. 'Wimple's" laird-Bookl Maybe it would give me a greater variety of birds than do the ones • that 1 have. They are nice little • books except than they deal more with the rarer species of birds. I would like to know more about the different kinds of sparrows, wrens and other ordinary every- day birds. For instance, are there two kinds of starlings—one with e yellow beak and one with black? One day I sate a little brown bird fluttering around the lilac bush—it was so small I thought et first it was a htnln11111g bird and , then 1 knew it couldn't be because I Ihat•c always understood that a hummingbird is always on the wing whereas thk little brownie wotild light on the branches just like any other bird. Perhaps it was a species of wren, but that's what 1 don't know. Another time, after a heavy rain, 1- looked out and saw two or three water -w'ag'tails they were the first I had seen since 1 lett England. Time after time tee see blue heron go sailing by and one time when 1 was feeding the chickens a big brown bird flew but from a nearby oak tree. i1 certainly wasn't a hetet: but from the way it stretched out ho neck, and from its size it could hate been a bittern. * * * Well. we are tolyl one can get ttcrl to anything in time and 1 ' am inclined to think that is right. Anyway we are getting more and. more used to rain—to rain and 11111(1 and run nit g ditches.

For the tender cuts of v'tal, which are legs, loin's and shoulders, the Monte economists of the Con- suiner Section, Dominion Depart- ment' of Agriculture, recommend cooking at a law to moderate tem perature in dry heat. A moderate oven 325-350 deg. 11. should be used for the entire cooking period. Since veal is a dry meat, with really little fat, it is recommended that the top of the roast be lightly spread with fat. Pork fat, either fresh or smoked is excellent for the purpose as it gives a very nice flavour fo 'hie 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 be basted occasionally. For well-done veal, roast approximately 30-35 minutes per pound in a moderate oven 325-350 deg. P„ which' you will notice is longer than the time allowed for either beef 'or lamb. Less .tender cuts like breast, flank, neck or stewing veal require long, sloe cooking in moist heat, this means either braising or stew- i;tg. When those cuts .are ground they may 1. pan-fried or made into an oven -cooked treat loaf just like any other mincer' meat. In brais- ing, the meat is seasoned, then ' browned in a small amount of fat in a' heavy pan. The meat may be floured before browning if desired, The Heade,, which may be water, meat stock, milk, water from cook- ed vegetables, tomatoes or tomato juice, is added, the pan covered and the cooking done either on top of the stove over very low heat or 11, a slow oven, 325 deg.

The liquid in the pan serves as the base for the gravy, Veal Paprika • 254 lbs. of veal shoulder' chops cut 1"thick 1 egg 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon water 14 cup dry fine bread crumbs j cup chopped onion cup fat 1 cup water 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons paprika Cut shoulder chops into serriug pieces.
