AT the end of the Long bridge eight or ten
birds were seen feeding in tree-top. The
foliage was not yet far enough advanced to OBJ
scure the vision. The birds were pinefinches,
akin to our goldfnches. They did not know
that they had distinguished visitor from
abroad, interested not only in their plumage,
in their notes. in their habit of life, but in the
humber thing of what they were having for
breakfast
The pinefnches held us only little while.
and on we went along the early morning road.
hoping for mocking bird, and yet more than
half content with chirping sparrows, blue
birds, robins, purple grackles and the rest Of
the early spring comers.
Down at the left of the road was scrub
growth of trees and beyond that we're the ca
nal and the broad river. We went into the
trees, leaving the highway with its sparrows
and bluebirds and other commoner folk, hop
ing that there some rarity would show itself
to give our guest full payment for 3,000-mile
trip across the water to get acquainted with
American bird life at its best, and American
bird life is always at its best. and this we
Loyalty told the British subject.
In the thicket we did not find the mocking
bird, but we found something that in beauty
at least more than compensated for the alb
sence of the soberclad southern songster. A
male cardinal, fire red, crested and proud and
tuneful. was there.
We caught a glimpse of the disappearing
tail feathers of a bird that flashed into an
evergreen tree, heavy-boughed and thick
leaved. / went over to the tree and knocked
gently on the trunk. The bird came out and
perched a dead branch not 10 feet above
our heads. It was a mocking bird The fact
was whispered to Mr.. Kearton-who had found
what he wanted.
The mocker paid absolutely 40 attention
to us, save to turn his head once and to look
down, probably curiously wondering what
three hulking fellows found in him to arouse
in them such an abundance OF impertinent
curiosity. He simply would not sing. but we
stayed there, hoping against hope. until finally
uring of our company long before we tired Of

Mhu Dlru NE Inc migrants had not yet come
III luh lorce TO the northern woodlands when
the president ana his guest made through the
valley and up and down the cliffs of the valley.
They found the kingfsher looking for cbubs
or whatever the fish is that likes the Rock
creek waters, and they found the cardinals
and the Carolina chickadees. some white.
throats some slate-colored snowbirds and a
few tuneful song sparrows.
Mr.. Kearton's first Introduction to the Po-
tomac country birds gave him an appetite for
further knowledge of their personalities. A
few days after his Rock creek trip Mr.. Kear-
ton went up the Potomac valley with Dr. A. K
Fisher and E. w. Nelson of the biological sur.
vey. and l was allowed to bear them field
company.
DR.. Fisher, of hawk and owl and much
other bird fame, came into the tramping when
the noon hour was near Prior to that time
Mr.. Nelson acted as bird leader, IL the bird
can take the place of the bear in the term
ordinarily used.
We had in Kearton Englishman who
knew American birds only from the books~ AL
most instantly the thought came of John Bur
roughs tramping all over southern England
trying to find a nightingale, and to find him
when he was in tuneful mood. Richard
Kearton was willing to tramp all over the Co
lumbia district to see a mocking bird He
wanted also to hear him sing, but that at best
was a matter of chance. for the singing sea-
son was yet young.
The mocker. to the European, unquestion-
ably is our bestknown bird. He fills in the
interest place on the other side that is filled
in on this side by the nightingale. or perhaps
equally with the nightingale. the skylark,
whose tryst is in the clouds"
We crossed Cabin John bridge over the
beautiful gorge. wavy with the greenng tree
tops of early spring. Out of the depth of the
valley came the song sparrow's music, almost
II not quite the purest bird music that the
American fel"s can call their own.
The Engishman went into a melting mood
at the song sparrow's note. He kept It with
him in cadence all day long, whistling it .occa-
sionally to make sure he was retaining it. and
stopping every time that one of the birds sang
from the roadside, to listen and to make sure
that memory was holding the melody intact

UTILIZING
EXCESS OF MEAT
OF MUCH y
Method of German Fl
ProfitabIy Be copi'
ioned Method of
Clarifying the


cooking of bacon, ham, c
and other meats, should b
in its own receptacle, to |
different purposes:
Home rendering of both
leaf lard has it's advantages,
the product is generally sup
what can be bought for the
price.
Both suet and leaf lard re-
cooking in order to loosen the

holds 1t. For this purpose the mat
rial is cut in small pieces and GOV
| cred with water and allowed to COOK
slowly for some time until no more wa
ter remains and the scrap has turned
to light brown. |!
A better method for suet is that
used by German housewives, who
economize ON butter by the use of
oeef fat more than do American house
keepers. The suet is cut in small
pieces and covered with water, in
which it is allowed to soak for a day,
the water being changed once in the
time. 1t is then drained and put into
an iron kettle with one-half teacup OF
skim milk to every pound of the suet.
It should be cooked very slowly until
the sound of boiling entirely ceases.
When it has partly cooled, it should
be carefully poured off. This fat has
no unpleasant taste or odor, and in
many recipes may be substituted for
part of the butter Some cooks add
pound of leaf lard to four or five OF
the suet this makes a softer fat, as
lard has a lower melting point than
beef fat
An old-fashioned method of clarity
ing fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooked meats, so that it may be used
in the kitchen, is to add the cold fat to
a liberal quantity of cold water, then
heat slowly and let cook for an hour
or more. When cold, the cake of fat
is removed and the lower portion,
which will contain the small particles
of meat, ETC., should be scraped away
and the white, clean fat saved If
the flavor or color or both are not
satisfactory the process may be re-
peated several times. Another method
which is often recommended is to
cook a number of slices of raw potato
in the boiling fat.
When an ice chest is used fat in
small quantities may be easily kept
sweet for cooking purposes. If lard

old mill with its neighboring dam and water
fall stands not far away. The place is as
beautiful to-day as it was 40 years ago, when
John Burroughs haunted 1t and transmitted
its beauties to the written page. Here it was
that he had his inspiration for Spring Notes
at the Capital" an inspiration that dwelt in
him and showed force and effect when he
wrote of other and faraway fields. Burroughs
has written of this spot, and 1t is daring
pen which would seek the ink for further
words
The change from woodland path to paved

voice as full-throated as in springtime called

still more impressed upon them when they

unheated.
Richard Kearton, an English ornithologist
and photographer, although lamed badly as
a result of an accident when cliff climbing, is
engaged to-day in the work OF making pic
lures of birds that make their nests in places
inaccessible to any save the most daring men.
Mr.. Kearton came to Washington before Presi
dent Roosevelt went out of office and he was
entertained at the White House and was led
through the woods. the ravines and fields near
the capital city by the president of the United
States in order that he might get knowledge
of American bird life. Since his return to
England the English people have paid marked
attention to their fellow countryman. They
had recognized him a scientist worthy of
consideration prior to the time of his visit to
this country, but the attention that the strenu-
Gus president of the United States paid to the
English bird lover brought to him additional
attention and the marked consideration of
some people who had been given to ignoring
him on the ground that he was a photogra-
pher rather than scientist. Mr.. Kearton is
both a photographer and scientist and his
contribution of his knowledge of English bird
life is of immense value to bird students.
