When Maple Sugar is in Season. 
When the maple sugar season arrives 
those who can go to the hush and parti¬ 
cipate in the work, and fun of “sugaring 
off” or can bring the fresh syrup to the 
house are fortunate, but even those who 
must buy their syrup and sugar may have 
Work with a wooden spoon or paddle 
until creamj\ Pour into shallow pans, or 
plates. Sometimes the addition of the 
juice of a lemon, just as the candy is 
taken from the fire, makes a welcome 
change in flavor, and removes the cloying 
quality of the sweetness. Vinegar may 
be used instead of water; the candy may 
be cooked longer and pulled until light 
colored, and other changes made, but 
the idea of this article is to tell the “how” 
of making one or two kinds, for the 
benefit of the inexperienced, and remind 
others to make their maple candies while 
the sugar and syrup is fresh, and at its 
best. EVA RYMAN'GAILLARD. 
5313 Infant’s Tucked and Plain 
Sacques, 6 mos., 1 and 2 years, 
some especially fine things with the maple 
flavor. For an uncooked maple cream 
candy add the whites of two eggs to two 
cupfuls of maple syrup and beat thor¬ 
oughly. Then work in enough XXX 
sugar to make the mass stiff enough to 
hold any shape it may be molded into. 
After shaping, let stand a few hours to 
ripen. 
If syrup is not at hand make this 
cooked candy. Break two pounds of 
sugar into small pieces; put with one 
quart of rich milk and boil until it will 
harden when tested in cold water. Pour 
into shallow tins and mark into desired 
shapes. Some people like it better if 
stirred (always in one direction) until 
it thickens, after it is taken from the 
fire—making it more like fudge. Chopped 
nuts or grated cocoanut may be added if 
liked, and a variety secured. A recipe 
for “maple penosia” is exactly the same 
as the one just given, except for the fact 
that it says “When taken from the lire 
add all the pecan nuts the mixture will 
hold, before stirring. In another case the 
same recipe is called “panocha,” but the 
difference is all in the name, so it seems 
6320 InJant’s Slip, One Size, 
we may add whatever we please and call 
the candy whatever we choose. 
If milk is not at hand, try this: Put 
two pounds of sugar (broken) and a 
quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tar¬ 
tar with a cupful of water; boil until 
the soft-ball stage is reached, then set 
aside (in the kettle) until lukewarm. 
Sour Canned Tomatoes. 
Who can tell’ what is the matter with 
our canned tomatoes? They were canned 
in glass, and there is no sign of fermen¬ 
tation ; they look good and smell all right, 
but they have such an unnatural sour 
taste that we cannot use them. Previous 
to this we have had good success when 
canned the same way. f. w. i. 
The Rural Patterns. 
The wrapper, slip and sacque are all 
necessary garments for infants’ wear. 
1 he sacque is shown either plain or 
tucked. Each sacque is make with fronts

yards 3(5 or 1 yard 44 inches wide with 
3)4 yards of banding to trim the plain 
sacque as illustrated. The pattern 5313 
is cut in sizes for children of 6 months, 
1 and 2 years; price 10 cents. 
The little wrapper is made with fronts 
and back. The front edges are hemmed 
and stitched with sewing silk and the 
fronts are gathered at the neck edges and 
joined to the collar. The sleeves are in 
bishop style and are finished with cuffs. 
The right hem is lapped over the left 
and the wrapper is closed with buttons 
and button-holes. The quantity of ma¬ 
terial required is 2]/ 2 yards 27, 2 yards 
36 or 1 yards 44 inches wide. The pat¬ 
tern 5308 is cut in one size only; price

The slip is very simple and easily made.

robe (16 in all) cost 40 cents the set and 
will be found very convenient by anyone

Peanut Butter— Secure shelled Span¬ 
ish peanuts, roast to taste, remove skins, 
grind in nut-butter mill or meat chopper; 
most have a plate to grind nuts. Salt 
while grinding. This will keep a long 
time, and is much better than any of the 
commercial butters. To use rub it smooth 
with water to the consistency of thick 
cream. This is better than to add milk 
or oil, but it will not keep long. I have 
use it for 10 years. a. t. a.
