For the birds . . . winter food
1 pound lard
12 oz. jar of crunchy peanut butter
1 pound melted suet
Put all of the above ingredients into a double boiler and stir

have been put into a large pan:
2 pounds (32 oz. box) yellow cornmeal
10 pounds of wild birdseed
Mix all together and pour into containers. Use large cake pans
and cut into squares or use smaller containers such as small
cottage cheese containers, tuna cans etc. Wrap the "cakes" in wax

this mixture inside the cones. Hang "cakes" or cones from tree
limbs or in a birdfeeder. Serves about 752 birds.
