To Cook Game or Poultry.

Melt some fat or dripping in a
saucepan and with q pastry brush
carefully cover the whole bird with
fat. Then cover the breast with par
affin paper and you will find that 1t
will not be necessary to baste the bird
during cooking. The paper should be
removed for the last half hour of
cooking in order to become nicely
Drowned. This plan is especially good
when roasting large turkey, because
even II you haste very carefully it Is
often Impossible TO cover every bit
when the turkey is in the oven.

BEDTIME STORIES

asked Peter
OF Mistah BuZzard thought this
over a moment or two and then his
eyes began to twinkle again. "Ah tell
yo' what Ah'll do, Brer Rabbit" said
ne. Anil give YOU just one guess IF
your guess Is right, Ahll tell yo' so. >"
Peter jumped up and down excited
ly An right, Mistah Buzzard," said
he, that's fair enough. You see |
almost know / know where that nest
is. That fs / almost know | know
where to look for 1t. My guess is that
1t Is over on the Big Mountain"
The twinkle in OF Mistah Buzza rd s
eyes twinkled more than ever.

done guess wrong. All reckon OF
Mrs. Buzzard never done visit the Big
Mountain. She done look down on it
from way up in the blue, blue sky, but
that's as near 1t as she ever has
been"
You should have seen Peters face
fall He was more puzzled than ever
and OF course this meant that he was
more curious than ever. He knew
that OF Mistah Buzzard was telling
him the truth. He knew that when
not on the Big Mountain and never
had been there, IT was exactly so.
This being so, why OF course that nest
must be somewhere there in the Green
Forest. All that he had gained from
OF Mistah BuZzard was the knowl-
edge that he had guessed rightly in
thinking that OF Mrs. BuZZard was
sitting on eggs, and that those eggs
were not over on the Big Mountain.
That was something. but oh dear, how
his curiosity had grown, lie thought
he knew all about the Green Forest.
II any one had told him that a person
as big as Mrs. BuZZard could hide her
nest so that he couldn't find at. he
would have said that that was i'm
possible. But IL had been done. He
knew where the nest OF Blacky the
Crow was. He knew where the nest of
Redtail the Hawk was. He knew
where the nest Of Hooty the Owl was.
He knew where the nest Of Plunger
the Osprey was. 1t certainly seemed
that Mrs. Buzzard must have a nest
as big as any Of those nests. yet he
hadn't been able to- find II.
