SaIted Nuts.

Fer sailing almonds the hard
shelled Jordan nuts are best. Buy
them in the shell and crack with an
ordinary nut cracker Blanch by
pouring boiling water over them.
Let stand five minutes, covered, then
remove the skins by rubbing between
finger and thumb. Dry on coarse
towels so as to remove all moisture.
Allow to each pint shelled nuts two
tablespoonfuls the best olive oil or
melted butter. The oil gives the bet
ter gloss.
Toss the nuts in the oil until thor
oughly coated. then let them stand
covered in the warming oven fGr
half an hour until they have alb
sorbed much of the oil. Dredge two
tablespoonfuls fine salt over them,
stir in order to distribute it evenly.
spread in bright tin biscuit pans and
set in the oven until crisp and lightly
colored. Shake frequently. If Won
wish the nuts to retain more salt than
this method allows, after the nuts
are brown turn into an earthen dish
and sprinkle them with teaspoon
full gum arabic dissolved in a half
cup of water, taking care not to get
them too damp. Dredge with fine
salt through a small sieve and stir
often until cold. The salt will cling
and not fall off.

Bird Armies.

President Roosevelt in his latest
message to Congress says some strik-
ing things about the work of the
Biological Survey. 1t has shown, he
says, that at least forty-three species
of birds prey upon the cotton boil
weevil; that fifty-seven species feed
upon scale insects which attack fruit
trees; that cuckoos and orioles de-
stroy leaf-eating caterpillars; that
hawks and owls, except few which
attack poultry and game birds, are
benefactors in destroying grasshop.
pers and mice, and that "woodpeck-
ers, as class, by destroying the
larvae of wood-boring insects, are so
essential to tree life that it is doubt
full if our forests could exist without
them" The plumage of these birds
should be admired and respected as
the uniform of winged army which
defends man against some of his
worst foes.-Youth's Companion.
