ROAST YOUNG FRYER TURKS
FOR ECONOMY IN MEALS

i 4 +
Those small, very young fryer
rooster size turkeys, usually plen-
tiful on markets this year. may be
roasted successfully unstuffed as
well as stuffed, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture reminds
homemakers. Omitting the stuffing
saves oven heat, time, and labor,
and it may mean more protein and
fewer calories in a serving.
To prepare for cooking. sprinkle
the inside of the bird with salt, tie
legs and tail together, brush light
ly with fat, place on rack in a
shallow uncovered pan and put in
to an oven set at 1926 degrees.
Brushing fat or oil over the out
side of the bird helps to make the
meat juicy and to brown the skin
evenly. Basic with pan drippings
or melted fat once or twice during
cooking. The very young birds
have little fat, delicate flavor,
and few drippings.
When roasting is half to two
thirds done, cut the string to re-
lease the legs. A thin cloth moist
ened with fat placed loosely over
the more exposed parts may be
used to prevent over-browning.
A small turkey that weighs
about four pounds, ready-to-cook,
may take as little as two hours to
roast unstuffed, recent tests by
home economies researchers show.
INSTITUTED birds weighing from
four to eight pounds should roast
in from two to two and three
fourths hours. If the bird is very
cold-just thawed or transferred
directly from refrigerator to oven
it may take a little longer to
cook.
The bird is done when the leg
joints can be moved easily and the
flesh of the leg feels soft and pia-
bic when pressed with the fingers.
Plan roasting time so the turkey
will be done about 20 minutes be-
fore serving.

proof silk.
Aerial spiders launch threads
into the air and, carried by the
wind, may float on a gossamer
cloud for hundreds of miles.
Man, too, has made odd use of
spiders work. From ancient times
webs have served as health charms
and remedies for disease. Applied
to wounds, they checked blood
flow. Primitive South Pacific peo-
pies still make strong spider webs
into fishing nets, bags, and head
dresses.
Acceptable silk fabric can be
spun from spider thread, although
such an industry is not CONNER
ciafy feasible. Research scientists
find spider webs especially suitable
for collecting atmospheric parti-
cles. And artists have painted de-
tailed portraits and elaborate land
scapes on spider web foundations
with delicate engineering skill
that rivals the SPIDERS own.

BLACK WIDOW SPIDER WEB
SERVES MAN AND NATURE
USED BY OUR ARMY

Washington. Black widow
spiders are spinning webs for the
United States Army and saving
the Government thousands of dol
lars each year.
Kept in jars and fed on flies,
the VIGOROUSLY venomous spiders
docilely produce nets of dark
strands for use as cross hairs in
telescopes, microscopes, gunsights,
and other instruments.
The black widow was selected
for military service over other
species because of the strength
and elasticity of her web, which
has been found capable of with
standing compassionate blasts Of
up to 80 pounds.
Female Does the Work
Spider webs, made largely by
the dominent female, come in all
shapes and textures, says the Ma
tional Geographic Society. Threads
range from invisible single fibers
to combined lines woven into snares
heavy enough to entangle a snake
or a mouse.
In all, there are some $4,000
known species of spiders, each
with its own style of web.
The black widows weave is
coarse and irregular, with a GEN.
trail tunnel where she lies in wait
for victims. A member of the
poisonous worldwide genus Latro-
dectus, she is fond of setting up
housekeeping in dark, protected
spots in and around human dwell
ings. Though she attacks man only
on accidental contact, her bite is
excrutiatingly painful and occa-
sionally has proved fatal.
Naturalists call the symmetrical
orb web the spiders masterpiece.
Spun in many forms by the large
Argiopidae family, it is distin-
guished by dry radiating spokes
that intersect and support sticky
encircling lines.
One handsome creation of tro-
pical orb spider is a circular
golden net more than three feet
across. 1t sometimes ensnares
small birds.
Other web types include tangled
closely woven sheets, fun
nels, hammocks, triangles, and
clamp shades" The bowl and
dolly spider spins a double design
"a horizontal sheet below an in
verified bowl.
LassOes Her Prey
Even stranger is the way of the
bolas spider. Swinging from a
loose trapeze line, she draws. from
her abdominal spinnerets short |
lengths of thread that she finishes
off with sticky ball of silk. With |
these she "lassoes" passing insects,
and draws in her prey.
Besides building snares to catch
food, spiders spin sacks to shelter
their eggs and young.
The raft spider ties leaves and
wigs together with silken strands,
and sails the open pond on the
finished craft. Underwater spiders |
make small domed tents of water.
