Stir until the sugar Is dissolved then heat gradually to the boiling point and boll until a soft ball which will Just keep its shape (when tried In cold water) Is formed. By the thermometer It will be 238 degrees Fahrenheit. After a few minutes boiling, sugar will adhere to the sides of the saucepan and form grains; these should be washed down with a small cloth fastened to a fork and dipped Into hot water. This mny be done with the hnnd If dipped Into cold water and the tips of the lingers used to wash off the sides of the pan. Being quickly done there Is no danger of burning. When boiled to I the stage, pour out on nn oiled or lightly buttered marble slab or large platter. Let stand until It Is cold enough to bear the finger dipped Into It. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping from the outside, working it well until a creamy mass Is formed, then kneud with the hands and place the ball of fondant Into a buttered bowl, cover with waxed paper and set away for a few days to ripen. Now the fondant Is ready for any kind of flavor, color, fruit or nuts. Bits rolled Into balls may be dipped Into chocochocolate, making the late cream.

Moderate pruning every year encourages annual fruiting and is much better for the tree than heavy pruning every three or four years. The work should not be delayed until growths starts In the spring.

C. Skelley, assistant animal husbandman at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture. The roundworms can be controlled by the following treatment Withhold all feed for about 18 to 24 hours and for 50 pounds of live weight give a capsule containing 2 grains santonin, 2 grains calomel, and 5 grains sodinm bicarbonate. In about 12 hours after giving this, capsule feed a light slop containing a tablespoonful of epsotn salts, well dissolved, for each 50 pounds of live weight The housing need not be expensive, but should be kept clean and warm. Small portable colony houses that are tight and dry and provided with plenty of clean, dry bedding make very satisfactory quarters. Under these conditions, with plenty of good feed, fall pigs will make good gains and be ready to go on the market in the early spring.
