"She told me to take a sauce- pan and fill it half full of molase- r3ss. I thought it should be full- er than that, so I put it almost full. "Papa had given us ten cents to buy some peanuts to put in the cantly ; so 1 put tlio molasses on the stove, and we all sat down to shell the peanuts. "When we were almost done, I hoard some thing go siz-z-z very loud, and we all jumped up, and it was the molasses boiling over. It was all over the stove. "I was scared, but I took the long handle of the saucepan and carried it to the table. Then it didn't boil over any more, bat it spilled all the way, and wo all stepped in it and it was very sticky. "And when we walked about the floor, that was very sticky too. And there was a dreadful smell and a dreadful smoke. "Mamma came down to sob, and she saw, and she looked with her hands up. She said she couldn't leave the baby again, and we mist bo careful and keep the molasses on the back of the stove. Then it didn't boil any more. "When we all juinpecl up, the peanuts all fell clown. When we picked them up, they were all sticky. The shells stuck to the nits, but Tom said they would'nt show in the cantly. "We put the peanuts in, and tasted to see if it was done ; but it burned us, and we call cried. "I took 80010 in a muter to ask ma if it was done.; spilled it in the hall and on the stairs, but it was so dark there it (Erbil show at all. Mamma said it wasn't clone, so we boiledit some more. "Then I got a big moat -dish and poured it all in. We sot it out doors to cool. We knew when it was cool, for :Hover came and licked it beforo we could drive him away. "It was very hard and it wouldn't come off the dish. Mamma bac) told mo to put some butter on the dish, but I forgot it. I put some on then but it didn't do a bit of good. "At last Tom got the hammer and hammered it. Then it broke all to pieces. The dish broke too. "When wo got the cantly off the pieces, wo worked it to get it white. I dropped mine in the wood -box and got some little chips on it. They wouldn't come off, but when I went on working it they didn't show any. Tom made long string with his, and ,jumped 1111: rope with it. "The candy didn't get very white. When wo were all tired working it, I went to papa's desk to get some nice clean paper to put on it. I went to ask sister Laura for some thread, but she was out, so, I hunted in my work- basket awl got it myself. I tied up some little parcels of the candy, "Then wo took 801110 to main - ma and grandmother, aid they were very mutt obliged to us, indeed, but they wouldn't take it from us.

Ducks will fatten readily if given plenty of feed. Ou the farm where they can have a good range they do not require much feed. If too fat they will not lay eggs, and at this time the egge are the principal source of income. Ae soon, bow ever, as the weather will permit, commence picking the ducks and geese for feathers. It is always the active, energetio fowls that are most prolific of eggs and the surest breeders. The eggs of vary fat fowls will not hatch. If not infertile at the outset, they have less vitality, and besides are apt to be somewhat oiled by bruehing against the feathers of a fat hen in the nest. Most of the wive breeds of fowl have high combs, which are very sensitive to cold. A frosted eodnb will stop a fowl from laying quicker than almost anything else. around oats, corn and barley, with middlings and bran mixed in, say half ancl ball, make splendid food for 113eh and egg production.
