Why Taffy "Pulls" White.
Taffy made from sugar or mo-
lasses becomes white by pulling.
Do you know why?
The exposure to the air and the
friction evaporate the syrup,
which contains most of the color-
ing matter, and facilitates oxi-
dization of the carbon in the sugar,
which is always white, contains
eleven atoms of oxygen to twelve
atoms of carbon and eleven atoms
of hydrogen.
The syrup drained from the same
sugar in the refining process not
only contains more or less coloring
matter,but has a smaller propor-
tion of oxygen to the amount of
carbon.
Still another ..eason why sugar is
whitened in pulling is that this
operation, like the crushing pro-
cess when applied to rook candy,
one of the purest' forms of sugar,
destroys or impairs "its power of
absorbing light, and causes it to
reflect all the elementary colors in
each ray, which, of course, results
in white light.
The Diity of Spending
One of the causes of the present
industrial depression is the short-
sighted economy of those whose
spending power has net been seri-
ously curtailed. The fact is easily
established by the hank returns
showing increases in desiosits.•
Sincethousands of manufacturers',
wholesalers' and retailers' employ-
ees have: been thrown out of work,
or have had their wages reduced,
it is evident that their bank ac-
counts must have either disappear-
ed or decreased. Consequently the
total savings .bankdeposits could
only " increase by substantial ad-
ditions to the accounts of those
whose' incomes have escaped the
general out. Such persons are put-
ting their surpl'u'ses into the banks
instead of spending them. : This
means that they are going 'without
clothes.; furniture, 'machinery, and
man_, other articles in order to in -
ease
Grtheir savings.
The effect becomes apparent in
our imports entered for consump-
tion as follows: year ending March
31st, .1913,. $670,000,000; year end -
inn March' 31st, 1914, 618,000,000;
year ending March 31st, 1915,
$455,000,000.
These decreases in our purchases
abroad indicate that there must be
,correspondingly great; decreases in
ourpurchases at home. It is, true
-that our borrowings from England
have been seriously •curtailed, but
it is also true that they have been
replaced to a certain extent by.
sales of bonds in the. United •'States
which, sines t'he outbreak `oaf war,
have amounted'to. about $70,000,-

"The albumin. furnishes the ma-
terials which. build up the (body and
keep it in repair. The fat and ;sugar
provide fuel to'keep the body warm
and furnish it with . power needed
to deo its work. The water and salt
are necessary for life. Milk also
contains antitoxins, useful oells
and other substances that are of
great importance, especialy to the
infant. It musts be plain, then, that
milk its inn enormously complex sub-
stance—it is both food and drink.
The infant thrives on milk alone,
and the adult can live, for months -
with nothing else.
"Milk may be served in a num-
ber of different ways, as custards,

"Milk varies somewthat in com-
position, especially in amount of
butter fat (creaam) it contains. Cer.
tain cows furnish richer milk than
others, therefore, it is customary
in good dairy practice to mix the
milk of several cows imznnecliately
after it is drawn. In this way the
consumer is assured a more uni-
form p'roduot from day* to day.

always be kept cold, .clean, and

Disposing of Eggs. •
1. Study carefully the rules for
the production and marketing of
new -laid eggs.
2. Remember that only the strict
observance of these simple rules
will bring the highest prices and
improve the .> quality ..of . eggs gen--
erally.,.
3. Be careful to::searrrp tlhe eggs=
on the large end only. •
4. In stamping do • not bear too
heavily upon the ink pad when ink-
ing the stamp' nor on the egg when
stumping.
5. Never wet the ink pad, if it be-
comes dry 'speak to the eoe1'ector
and he will re -ink the pad for you.
6. If the stamp becomesdetached
from the wooden handle, it earn be
readily repaired with a good muci-
lage.
7. Do not allow the children to
stamp the eggs until you have
taught thean to do so properly, by
allowing them to practise on the
eggs to be used at home..
8. On wet mornings it is a good
plan to throw down a little clean
straw on the floor of the poultry
house.- The number of 'dirty eggs'
can be materially lessened if the
hens scraatch in the straw before'
going to the nests to lay.
9. Do not isiterme the very smell
or the very dirty eggs. They may
be packed separaately and marketed
as -a second `grade through the egg
circle.
10. Be a good oat -operator by al-
ways being prepared anti ready for
the collector when he calls.
11. Do everything in your power
to support your egg circle. Re-
member that you area vital unit in
it and that it is necessary tot–each
member to be loyal to associa—
tion tics enable it to succeed.
12. Remember that thereputa-
tion of your circle depends upon
quality.
13. Strive to make your circle the
best in time, Dominion.
Remove Male Birds.'
- Eggs which have been fertilized
constitute the greatest proportion
of the inferior stock which, when
examined, proves unfit for food. It
is not necessary that these shall
have remained for a time under a
broody hen, a temperature of
seventy ' degrees being, in itself,
sufficient to cause the germ . to
commence to grow. If the cheat is
constant the development of the
chick will oontdnue, but if it ceases
or is intermittent, putrefaction at
once sets in and the egg becomes
bad. On the other hand infertile
eggs which are 'free from the active
germ cell, do not, under ordinary
conditions, deteriorate seriously:
Few farmelzs lectern to realize
these facts, : and consequently very
few make any effort to insure in-
fertility. The impression prevails
among many, that the presence of
the male bird in the flock is essen-
tial to the production of a maxi-
mum nurnhe:r of. eggs. This `assump-
tion 'has: been proven, time' and time.
again, 'to be absolutely without
foundation.
Farmers .and others .selling eggs
for miarket are recommended to kill
off or dispoise of the m,alie birds af-
ter the breeding season. As a re
salt of their remaining with the
flock after June 1st,, Canadian
`farmers lose each year at least a
million dollars, through ' the pre-
sence of partially inoubetedeggs in
the produce which is marketed..
The fact that the best {tradie in
many cities in Canada now efforts
-the premium of from one to five
cents per dozen, for non -~fertilized
eggs, suggests an additional finan-
cial consideration which but few
can afford to overlook.

The Intimate Friend.
Possibly there are few families to
wleonx the pleasure of an intimate
friend is unknown, She may be
a. middle-aged woman who, lacking
the joy of a family of her own,
takes a loving motherly interest in
the boys and girls of an old school
friend between herself and whom
there is a strong affinity and affec-
tion. She may be a young .girl,
merry enough to be an entertataing
friend to those of her own age and
sufficiently sympathetic, homely,
and conversational to make a kind
and charming deputy daughter,
when the occasion demands.
Or she may be a. married woman,
living near enough to these chief
friends of hers to make it possible
to speed a fair amount of time
with them without neglecting her
home or children.
But whoever she may be, the in-
timate friend, if she be of the right
kind, is invariably a .source of hap.
piness in the basely. If a, day is
dull or lacking in event there is al-
ways the knowledge or hope that
she will run in. if only for a quarter
of an hour to bring news and inter-
est from. her home or the outside
world, to sympathize and give ad-
vice, to help decide some earlobe
debated point, or to suggest ,a game

INFERIOR LIGHTNING RODS.
Prof. W. H, Day, B.A., professor
of physics in Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph, writes to ware
the farmers of Ontario against in-
ferior lightning rods. One of the
sante campmates that buncoed the
farmers with iron -centred rods last
year is reported to be selling the
salve rod again this year. Watch
out for them.
There is no difficulty in spotting
these rods. The outside covering
is a thin slie'et of capper. Inside af'.
the copper is a. strip of galvanized.
steel or iron one-half inch wide and
two galvanized steel or iron wires
about No. 10. The copper sheath
is twisted around the strip and
wires, giving the rod a corrugated
appearance. The steel or iron will
rust out in from five to ten years,
For photograph of what happened
to as rod of this kind in less than
eight years see Figure 34, Bulletin
220, which may be had by writing

Illinois firm, is circularizing
the trade and others advocating
the "Mast" lightning red system.
They declare that twisted cables
are positively dangerous, elaimixrg
they act like "choke -coils," that
tubes only should be used, that in-
sulators must be used, etc, For'
concentrated essence of error these'
circulars surpass anything else I
have sten.
Beware of the man with the iron
centred rod and the man who claims
that twisted cables are dangerous.,,
This Department will be glad to be
informed regarding the operations
of either.
