Have ail -nc-ces'sary utensils and ingredients ready before be- ginning to mix cake, and make sure that the aven is at proper temperature when cake is ready to be baked. 2. A round bottom bawl and a wooden spoon are two suitabie utensîls. 3. Ail ingredients should. be fresh and of good quality. 4. Fine granulated sugar or sof t brown sugar makes a fine tex- tured cake. Sift coarse white su- gar. 5. Fruits and nuts should be tharougbiy cleaned and allawed ta dry, then dredge with one- quarter of the flour before adding to other ingredients. 6. Fruit cakes take a lot of s tir- ring to distribute the materiais and sbould be poured into tins lined with 2 or 3 thicknesses of oiled paper. 7. Place cakes on rack one- third to one-haîf of the distance from 'bottomn element. Do not use top element during baking and do flot open door. 8. A small tin cantainnig 1/2 cup of water on the aven rack keeps cakes moist. 9. When baked, cake shrinks £rom the pan, or if banc knitting BULLEnTNSFROM BIRDL.AND sy \ý*iFjrRD E. Lsi A FRIENDLY MIfTE "Here are the Chickadees! Let's try how near they .willý corne if we kcep stili and give their caîl," Marjorie suggested. "Chickadcc-dce," Edith croaked hoarsely' over and over. Talking merrily to one another, the tiny acrobats approacbed, clinging to branches upside down like flics on a ceiling, balancing flrst at onc angle, then at another. Soon the two girls were surround- cd by the grey and -white feath- ercd balîs that came so close their soft notes could be heard as wl as the ordinary caîl. Edith smiled, but darcd flot move, as one fricndly -mite' flew with littie squeaks ta a nearby twig; then giving a gentie 1"tch, tch, tch, wuk, suddenly landed on ber shoulder. If only she bad been preparcd with food it might bave shared her sandwich, for the Black-capped Cbickadees are soc- iable and fearicss, and will take food from the band. However, the ordinary diet of the Chickadees is not bread, but insects. Tent caterpillar maths are considcred a special treat. The bright, prying eyes of the restless little birds scarch evcry crevice in the bark for insect pests. Some sceds are also caten. The very best way ta attract these useful, campanionable winter visitors is to put sunfiower seeds and suet on a slab attached ta a trce trunk. Like children, they appear ta en- joy the cold stormy days best. Then their laugbing and joking is at its peak. We are more apt ta sec tbcm than other species be- cause they seldom take ta the tree tops but keep almost at cye level. If you are weii acquaiiited with« the Chickadee's "dec-dec" cal but do not know its two, or same- times tbree, pure whistied notes, you might never guess these came from the throat of -the same bird. Though occasionally heard at oth- er semsons, this sang is truc spring music. The first note is aiways high pitcbed. Variaus translations have been made, but "Spring's here" and Back ta you" seem to best catch the spirit of the sang wbicb, very unusuaily, is sung by the female as well as the male. The pair's summer cottage is a haie, about 10 feet up, in an aid stump or post, or even a bird bouse. They first clear out any i debris and then mave in their own furniture, which cansists of mass, grass, feathers, and plant down. Here tbey bring up a large. family, often as many as nine.

P. tsks: What causes coggy fruit cake? Answer: Fruit and nuts were not dry or too much sugar or, fat. Mrs.'W. C. asks: W'hy does cake rise unevenly? Answer: Overbeating, too much four or uneven heat of oven may cause this. W. M. J. asks: What would you substitute for cassia? Answer: Use -requested quan- tity of cinnamon.

In June, 1945, I appiied for pension and when the check came it allowed me $10.27 per month which I received for 12 months. In July, 1947, I got a notice ta say my pension was suspended as 1 had received $89.64 too much. I wrote ta ask why and was told I had been receiving free room and board. Sa taking the full year I had received the pension, it works out like this: Received $123.24. Over- paid $89.64. Actualiy therefore the pension gave me $33.60 or $2.80 per mantb. W. H.
