~oNFECTIoNERY always forms
largo part Of the Christmas
budget. especially it there
are several children in the
Family. and it is always q popular part
of tho feast. Tho number OF those
who make their Christmas candies
instead OF buying them. increases
every year. Economy. the knowledge
that the product is pure, and the
chance to add sweetness to gifts with
the individuality Of personal service are
among the advantages.
1t is very important to follow di-
rections exactly when making candy.
IL a recipe calls for one-fourth tea
spoonful of havoring extract. meas
urs that amount with q measuring
spoon. Do not take up any spoon
that happens to be convenient, and
pour in what seems to be about the
right quantity. More and more cooks
are working by rule and not by in
tuition. but in candy making the eau
ton against inaccuracy is especially
cate. and subtleties of flavor and of
texture are more evident than in more
substantial food.
If possible. avoid making candy on
a wet or muggy day. The results
will not be as good as on q fair day.
Cleanliness to the point of chemical
purity is necessary. Never make can
dy in a pan which has ever been used
for anything else. For heating the
mixtures, aluminium pans are prefera-
BILE to tin or granite. Aluminium
heats quickly and cools quickly. For
mixing. wooden spoons are better
than metal ones. because the mass

as easily to wood. but. on the other
hand. very little heat will char wood.
In the making OF many kinds of
candy 1t Is necessary that liquids.
such as chocolate. for the coating OF
creams. remain hot after all the
cooking has been done. As the ordi-
nary stove gives too much heat for
the purpose. confectioners use a
working slab, moderately heated by
electricity or steam. a cheap and ef-
fective substitute for this expensive
device is a soapstone. Use marbled
dry candy upon. Then there will be
no danger that little particles of the
paper adhere to the candy. Avoid
using beet sugar for candy making.
as it will form humps. Cane sugar
is better for this purpose. the par
ticlcs remaining separate. For
creamy mixtures and frostings con-
feCtioners' sugar, almost as fine as
corn starch, should be used.
Excellent Substitutes.
There are many excellent substi-
tutes for the usual rich and highly
concentrated candies. Prunes stuffed
with almonds and raisins stuffed with
filberts or with chopped nuts are
very good. and candied orange peel
and grapefruit peel are always good.
F'ruit-nut paste is delicious. 1t is
made by grinding mixture of figs.

Paddy the Beaver and Mrs Paddy
had their troubles and moments of
danger during the late fall as they
worked to get their supply of food
for the winter. But their troubles
were nothing compa red With the
troubles of some of the other little
people of the Green Forest. You see
with the coming OF the fall had come
the shooting season. when hunters
with terrible guns were abroad every
where. Paddy and Mrs. Paddy had
nothing to fear from these. for the
law protected them at all times.
It was not SO with many of the
other little people. For few weeks
the law gave them no protection and
they had to depend wholly on their
own smartness and Guickness. Mrs
Grouse was one of these.
Now, Farmer Browns Boy had post
ed signs forbidding any one to hunt
on his fathers land. Unfortunately
there are some hunters who have no
sense Of honor. and these hunters
Will not hesitate to hunt on land pro-
tected by such signs if they think
they can do II without being caught.
1t was two such hunters who discov-
cred that Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Roy were to be away from
home all of one day. At once these
hunters planned to hunt on Farmer
Browns land. They planned to hunt
for Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse and the
members Of their family.
Now. it happened that Mrs Grouse
was by herself that morning. She
, had eaten a good breakfast and had
found a little open place on the side
