Ranging through, the Pygmy Forest, which affords them a perspective in . keeping with their own size, are rabbits, field mice, wood' rats, squirrels, shunks, raccoons and gray foxes. Bush tits and song sparrows find the delicate branches of the tiny trees hardly adequate as musical perches. The tiny trees live to a normal age the cypress to about 40 years, and the pines to an aver age of 80 to 100 years. .cTi ...? tint The creosotes rw: w 7 T Fort Bragg, Calif.

And, like Christmas shopping, it should be done right away for best re Hilts. Plenty of new crop nuts filberts, almonds, walnuts, cashews and Brazils-'-are available to add their crunchy good fess to your holiday baking. Feeding the Family ly ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Fruit and Filbert Holiday Cake It's fruitcake making time . . . time to gather together the my riad spices, the rainbow fruits, the crunchy nuts so closely as sociated with the joys of holiday baking. With a master's .stroke th many ingredients are careful ly combined, and soon the pun tent smells of baking fill the house with exciting aromas. It is a temptation to sample the cake immediately, before it is stored away to age and increase - in flavor and goodness. Resist G that impulse! Or make a tiny batch just for sampling. Produced commercially only in the Pacific Northwest where climatic conditions and favorable soil favor growth, you'll find Oregon filberts complement all of your favorite recipes using nuts. This year's crop is estimated to be the second largest in pro duction history, and the quality and size of the nuts are also xceptional. You'll find filberts at your grocer's most often in the shell. One pound of filberts in shftl will yield about VA cups nutmeats. Blanching of Filberts To remove the skins and give a "toasty" flavor, is easily done by heating in a 275 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Rub the hot kernels between your fingers or a rough towel to flake away the skin, then use the nutmeats whole or coarsely chopped in any and all your recipes. Keep a bowl of filberts handy, too, so your family can enjoy this bountiful harvest of flavor. Here is our favorite fruit and Albert holiday cake.

Cut cherries and dates, combine with raisins and fruit mix (if fruit mix pieces are too large, cut in slivers or smaller pieces). Dredge with V4 cup flour. Sift remaining flour with salt, baking powder and spices. Cream shortening with sugar and honey; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each ad dition. Add dry ingredients and milk alternately. Batter will be heavy. Combine filberts and coconut with floured fruit. Add to batter and mix until all fruit is well covered with batter. Grease well three 7Vix3x2-inch loaf pans. Line each with 3 layers of waxed paper, cut to fit pan, but allow ing Vi inch to extend above side of pan. Spoon batter into pans lightly. Do not pack or flatten. Bake in slow oven, 275 degrees, for 2Vi hours. Allow to cool about 30 minutes before remov ing from pans. Cool thoroughly before removing paper. This recipe makes three 1V4 pound cakes. A flat container holding 2 cups water placed in bottom of oven while cake is baking will increase cake's volume and give better appearance and moister texture. Fruitcake Storage When fruitcake is cold wrap in additional waxed paper, alum inum foil, ' or other moisture-repelling covering and store in air tight" container for aging period. If desired, cakes may be wrap ped in brandy-soaked cloths. In this case,, remove pan-lining papers and sprinkle cake with brandy. Wrap in brandy-soaked cheese cloth and then in airtight outside covering. Pumpkin Mince Chiffon Pie In this recipe we combine the old favorites . . . pumpkin and mincemeat in a chiffon type pie filling. Result is a dessert that is still rich in flavor but lighter in texture. To save work and to guarantee fine flavor, we've used prepared pumpkin and the moist pack, ready-to-use mincemeat, the kind that comes in glass jars. Served plain or topped with whipped cream, pumpkin mince chiffon pie should be a hit throughout the holiday season, or for that matter, all year round. 2 egg yolks Vt cup evaporated, milk, undiluted Vi cup water Yz cup light brown sugar, firmly packed IVi tablespoons gelatine .
