Homemade Candies. 
Will you publish recipes for homemade 
candy of the better and fancy sorts, such 
as chocolate chips and French creams, also 
some good common kinds? mrs. w. h. s. 
Chocolate chips and French creams 
are both beyond our knowledge. The 
following recipes, however, are all very 
good. 
Cream Candy.—Five pounds of sugar, 
one pint of water and a pinch of salt. 
Stir until it dissolves, no longer; boil, 
and skim well. After it has boiled ten 
minutes pour in very slowly one pint 
of cream. Do not let the candy stop 
boiling while pouring in the cream. 
Cook until it cracks on the side of a 
glass when tried in cold water. Pour 
on oiled dish or marble. As soon as 
possible to handle pull until white and 
creamy. While pulling flavor with five 
teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Cut in small 
pieces. 
Peppermint Creams.—Dissolve two 
cupfuls of granulated sugar in half a 
cupful of water. As soon as the sugar 
is melted remove the spoon and boil the 
syrup eight minutes. Then remove from 
the fire, add seven drops of oil of pep¬ 
permint and beat vigorously until the 
syrup is thoroughly creamed. Drop by 
tcaspoonfuls on to waxed paper. 
Popcorn Crisps.—Have a big dishpan 
full of snowy popcorn fresh from the 
popper. P>oil a cupful of sugar, two 
cupfuls of molasses, a tablespoonful of 
vinegar and a piece of butter the size of 
§ a hickory nut until when dropped in 
water it can be rolled into a ball between 
the fingers. Turn the candy over the 
popcorn and quickly toss it into the 
mass, handling it meanwhile as gently as 
possible to keep it light. Then place on 
buttered platters and stand in a cold 
place until it is crisp. 
Ping-Pong Caramels.—One cupful of 
sugar, one cupful of molasses, one cup¬ 
ful of milk and a half cupful of butter. 
Boil all together until the syrup will roll 
into a ball when cooled in cold water. 
Stir in a teaspoonful of vanilla and half 
a cupful of chopped nuts. Turn into 
shallow buttered pans, and when cool 
mark into squares and dip each sepa¬ 
rately in melted chocolate. Put them 
on waxed paper in a cold room to 
harden. 
Cream Fudge.—One pound of gran¬ 
ulated sugar, one cupful of unsweetened 
condensed milk, a teaspoon ful of butter, 
a teaspoon ful of almond extract, a cup¬ 
ful of mixed nuts coarsely chopped. 
Bring the sugar and milk to a boil, stir¬ 
ring all the time. Boil steadily, not 
rapidly, for twenty minutes, still stirring 
constantly. As it cooks the candy turns 
a deep cream color. Just before taking 
it from the fire add the flavoring and 
butter, then stir in the nuts, beating the 
candy hard for a moment or two. Pour 
into buttered tins and cut in squares 
when cold. 
Cream Walnuts.—One pound of white 
sugar, half a teacup of water; put on the 
range and boil until it threads—that is, 
until it falls from the spoon in threads 
—flavor well with vanilja, remove from 
the fire and stir until white and creamy. 
When cool enough to handle, roll into 
balls, press walnut halves into the sides, 
and drop into granulated sugar, shaking 
violently for a second or two. 
Chocolate Caramels.—Half a pound of 
chocolate, half a cup of milk, two cups 
of light brown sugar, one cup of mo¬ 
lasses, and a piece of butter as big as a 
small apple. Cook for 20 minutes, stir¬ 
ring constantly. Pour into a pan and 
cut into squares.

Keeping Salt Pork. —In a recent is¬ 
sue the advice given for salting pork is 
all right so far as it goes. One very im¬ 
portant part is left out—you leave the 
pork tight to side of the barrel. Take 
a sharpened stick, crowd between the 
pork and barrel, which will leave a space 
to be filled with salt. The brine can get 
between the pork and barrel, and your 
meat will save. This point not carried 
out has been the cause of meat not keep¬ 
ing. h. c. c. 
Grease of Soup. —There is hardly 
anything so distasteful to one with a 
delicate stomach as a soup or stew the 
top of which is covered with grease. 
Sometimes it happens that it is not pos¬ 
sible to let the soup cool so as to get 
off the grease that w.:y. In such a case, 
I take off all I can with a spoon, then 
turn the soup into the serving dish, get 
a paper bag which I tear into pieces 
about the size of my hand. Then using 
the inside of the bag, which I know to 
be clean, I draw the pieces gentlv across 
the top of the soup, using one after an¬ 
other till the grease has all been taken 
up. _ s. B. R.

No matter how strong is the passion 
for alcohol or for opium, the spirit of 
God is stronger. That is the old-fash¬ 
ioned way of putting it. The twentieth 
century is more fond of saying that “we 
must rely on the moral forces.” Have 
it as you please. Call your victory by 
whatever name you like, but win the 
victory.—Edward Everett Hale.
