QUEER MATERIAL FOR NESTS
Jackdaws, Cormorants and Crows
Seem to Take Kindly to Any
Sort Of Material.

The jackdaw has always had a repu-
tation of being a bold and impudent
thief. The limit has been reached by
a pair Of these birds which have been
watched plucking hair from the back
Of live donkey in Somersetsh1re
England paddock, and carrying on
the stolen material for the purpose OF
lining their nest
Most birds build true to type, but
there are good many, like these jack
DAVIS, which will avail themselves OF
any material that happens to be
handy. Some years ago the British
war vessel H. M. s. Sybille was
wrecked off Lambert's bay, on the
southwest coast of Africa.
About a year later a party went out
to have q look at the wreck. One OF
them climbed to the lookout" at the
masthead and found there q cormor'
ants nest with five eggs. The nest'
which is now in a London museum
was built of bits of steel wire from
the rusty rigging, and lined with
pieces Of cordage from the same
source.

tastes, got the Calcutta Telephone
company into trouble.

pieces covered with grated cheese and
baked in a baking dish, "au gratin.",

Scraps OF white meat may be chopped,
mixed with white sauce warmed up

the bones Of roasts should be used
to make a nourishing soup. Beef fat
and drippings and the fat from poul-
try should be clarified and kept for
frying Wings and legs Of fowls that
are left over are good grilled for
luncheon.
7. Sour milk may be used for corn
bread, griddle cakes, ginger bread and
biscuits. 1t may be made into cream
cheese or turned into refreshing
drink by icing. it and whipping it for
about five minutes with an egg beaten.
