Those premonitions come edge; but thla wealth, like many other blessings which we en joy, Is not always fully appreciated, etc.," and ending! "Now, therefore, 1 . ----------------------- , governor of the rtate of ---------- , In accordance with the provisions o f the statutes, do here by designate Frlduy, April -----, and Friday, October ----- , of the present year as ARMOR A N I) BIRD DAYS, upon which daya suitable eiercises may he held to accentuate and empha sise the Importance of the propugutlon of trees, shruhs and vines, and the preservation o f our native bird life.’* Accordingly, all over the land some Friday (the date varies In different states) this month will find the school children singing Just such songs ns that which heads this urtlc'e or other wise taking purt In “ suitable exer cises." So far as the children are concerned, these exercises may or may not “ accentuate and emphasize the Importance of the propagation of HOUSE W R E N trees, shrubs and vines, and the preservation of our native bird as we hear the first band o f wild life," but they enter Into them with geese go honking over us some night ««■st, because they offer an opportunity late In February or eirrly In March. to express the kinship, which all of Remember that line from Kipling's, us feel, with those elements In Nature “The Feet of the Young Men" . . . which are not hedged In snd restricted “ Who hath lain alone to hear the he Is an altogether different Individ ual. A sort of frenzy possesses him and to the bird lover the flicker’s spring song Is more beautiful than anything that Mendelssohn ever com posed. The same sort of madness strikes his brother, the red-headed woodpecker, and he is not happy until he can find a tin roof upon which to sound ills reveille. It’s the madness that strikes the red-winged blackbird who seems so full of the spring Joy that It pours out of him In an inco herent and Jumbled gurgling flood of sound. It hits the kingbird, too, and high up In the air he swoops and swerves, sounding his war cry and looking for a crow or a hawk to put to Ignominious flight And these are but a few of the birds who add their voices to make the woods and orchards ring. A lit tle later the bird lover will pass the crested flycatcher, the plioebe, the BARN SW ALLO W meadowlark, the towhee, the barn swallow and the yellow billed cuckoo by with scarcely a glance. But when they first arrive they are greeted with the same thrill of delight which one feels at seeing an old friend again. So April Is a month of mounting cli maxes— each day to look forward to because It means the sight ol another returning bird friend. Then late In the month comes the big thrill whlcn makes all others seem tame. It may he when you catch sight of the scar let tunager’s flashing tieauty or when courtly Lord Baltimore (Baltimore oriole) first makes his appearance. Or It may be when you hear the song of a robin which doesn’t sound exactly like a robin and then, when you get a glimpse of the singer, discover that he Is the rose-breusted grosbeak whose notes resemble so closely those of Robin himself. But It’s more likely to be the day when you see the first redstart or Myrtle warbler of the season. For then you realize that the tide of the spring bird migration hus almost reached its peak and that soon the warblers In all their rare beauty and difficulty of Identification will he here. To the true bird lover there Is no thrill so keen as that of seeing and Identifying one of these “ little gems of the bird world" for the first time April days are bird days and be cause they are that, April Is a month S IM P L E SEA POODS There are more edible fish In th« sea than edible animals on land. There are very few fish when caught that are not good to eat Brook Trout In Cream —Brook trout are deli cious cooked any way, bui to vary this dainty mor sel salt the fish lightly and lay In a baking dish or enumel baking pud with Just enough water to keep the fish from burning. Bake slowly, bast Ing with butter and water, about fif teen minutes. When the fish Is nearly done add a cupful o f creum and two tablespoonfuls of water to a double boiler, stir Into this two tablespoon fuls of melted butter and a teaspoon ful of finely minced pnrsley. Pour this over the fish in the pan and cook In the oveD three minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve. It has been well established In re^ cent years that clams, both hard and soft shell, are most nourishing and easily assimilated, especlaly when the tough and hard portions are removed. As a result, clam Juice or extract, Is now almost universally employed as a food for Invalids. Clam Broth.— Scrub the fresh clams with a brush until the shells are clean, using several wnters. Place In a kettle, cover with cold water and simmer slowly for an hour. This meth od brings out all the flavor, the real ocean tuste, and a highly concentrated broth which will allow diluting. Pour off the broth, strain it through a cloth, season, reheat and serve. Clam Bouillon.— Heat the broth, add ■alt, pepper and a lump of butter. Serve very hot In bouillon cups. Add a spoonful o f whipped cream to each cup i f desired. Baked Whlteflsh.— Clean the fish and leave It whole, cleaning it well outside and In and season well with salt and pepper. Put the fish on a well-oiled plank, cover with sliced to matoes, onions which have been chopped and boiled In bouillon and seasoned with chopped parsley. Pour a little oil over all and sprinkle the top with bread crumbs. Bake twenty minutes In an oven hot enough to brown well. When the backbone loosens from the fish It Is well done. Recipes and Hints.
