CANDY
Hello Homemakers Now the fes
tive season is approaching, candy is
“in the news”. In boxes for Overseas
-—for a friend recovering from an ill
ness—as a Christmas gift—Everyone,
big and little—young and old, loves
to receive candy. Incidentally, candy
has staying power and supplies a bit
cf quick energy.
* * * *
Candy is inexpensive and easy to
make, and lately there has been a
great demand for the use of crisp?
crackling cereals as the bulky part in
a lot of the new candies. Cornflakes,
shred of whole wheat, puffed wheat
and rice—and crisped rice—all add
honest-to-goodness food value and
they’re easy to use. Combined with
other simple ingredients—these tasty
cereals replace cGstlier nutmeats—and
are they good!
* sjs * sjs
I It’s great fun to make candy—But
to make good candy—fudge that is
creamily luscious and melts in your
mouth—brittle candy—that is crackly
and crunchy—there are certain rules
that must be followed:
* * * *
1. Use a standard recipe and then
measure the ingredients accurately.
2. Use the constant even heat of
the electric element turned “LOW.”
Stir until sugar is dissolved.
3. The side of the saucepan should
be free of sugar and crystals.
4. Test the candy carefully. The
candy thermometer gives the most ac
curate record of cooking.
•5. Where candy iis cooled before
beating, cool until you can touch the
top of the candy with your finger.
6. Use adequate equipment — a
large, straight-sided saucepan, a wood
en spoon, a shallow square or rec
tangular pan for “poured" candy.

Cold Water Test
Very Soft Stage—Syrup can be form
ed into a ball under water but can
not be lifted up.
Soft Ball Stage—Syrup can be rolled
into a ball, removed from the water
and hold shape when laid n the
palm of the hand for about % min
ute.
Firm Ball Stage—syrup holds shape
well as it goes into water and does
not come to tcp. ; ■
Hard .Ball ,$tage>-syrup holds shape
well, yet is plastic.
Light Crack Stage—Syrup separates
into threads that are hard, not brit
tle in water. '
Hard Crack Stage—Syrup drops in
threads in air, dropped from spoon
at heighth of 6 - 12 .inches. Threads
should not bend.
Caramel Stage—Syrup discolors from
white to cream in water.

CATARRH
Misery Fast!
When acute catarrh makes breathing
difficult—causes stuffy head, watery
eyes, nasal irritation and distress, put
a few drops of Vicks Va-tro-nol in each
nostril and enjoy the relief it. brings.
Va-tro-nol is so successful because
it does three very important things:
(1) shrinks swollen membranes of
the nose, (2) clears out discomfort
causing congestion and (3) soothes
irritation. Many
catarrh sufferers A
say it’s the best re- VICKS

Take A Tip:
1. Candy should be stirred until
sugar .is dissolved. Candy should not
boil until sugar is dissolved. It de
pends on the kind of c^ndy whether
syrup should be stirred after boiling
point is reached.
2. Wipe down any sugar or cry
stallization before boiling starts. For
brittle candies, use a piece of wet
cheesecloth tied around the tines of
a fork. For fudge, etc. cover the pan
for the first three or four minutes of
boiling.
3. Use a shallow bowl of chilled
water for cold water test. Dip the
spoon into the centre of thez boiling
syrup and drop about one-half tea
spoonful into cold water.
4. Beating, candy while hot tends
to make for coarseness of grain.
5. Pour caramel immediately after
test. Overcooking produces brown
colour. ,: i i • ;■ JW • I l

THE IMPORTANCE OF
GREEN FEED IN
THE POULTRY DIET
(Experimental Farms News) - .
The tight, glossy plumage Charac
teristic of the knaturing pullet on good
grass range is indicative of health and
condition. Good feathering reflects
condition in all bird life irrespective
of age, sex, breed or variety. Poor
feathering may he due to several
factors, though errors in feeding are
more commonly responsible than is
generally recognized.
Experiments, carried on at the Dom
inion Experimental Farm at Harrow
covering hundreds of birds, and over
sufficiently long periods, justify a
fairly, definite conclusion as to the
valuq of various green feed supple
ments to the cereal ration, says W.
T, Scott, Head Poultryman.
The average poultryman has not
made much effort to take advantage
of the most valuable green feed with
in his reach. .
The value of good alfalfa hay has
been proved. When the supply was
unlimited the egg yield and increase
in body weight were entirely satis
factory and the birds were in better
health and condition at the' end of
their pullet-years than they were on
any other supplement or when green
feed concentrates., were mixed with
the mash. Feather picking and can
nibalism were entirely absent.
It cannot be emphasized too strong
ly that the value of alfalfa hay de
pends to a great extent on the, stages
of growth when it is cut and the con-

As it matures the fibre
cured. If cut
rich in food,
low in fibre,
hardens and
much1 of the nourishment is lost. For
this reason where it is available a-
second or third cutting of hay is
better for poultry.
The experiments have giyen clear
indication that when the alfalfa hay
was cut in short lengths (% inch)r
steeped Overnight by entirely covering
with cold water, and thoroughly
strained just before feeding, greater
quantities were consumed than when
fed dry and better results were
obtained. The. supply was unlimited,,
but the residue of stalks and stale
|iay was thrown out at each feed and
a fresh supply was provided twice
daily. For, this purpose it was neces
sary to soak five pounds of good' hay
overnight to provide for one hundred
birds.
As far as it has been determined
the feeding of an unlimited quantity
has . no detrimental effect on the
quality of the eggs, although it will
affect the color of the yolk and con
sequently may.affect the grading.
