Bower (Bncke).—Making soft candy.—The recipe we use is as follows :—Use a bra~6 or enamelled iron pan, put in one pint of water, allow to boil, then stir in 6 lbs. of loaf or best white crystallised cane sugar, set the pan beside the fire (not on it), and stir occasionally until the sugar is all diss-olved. Then add one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and place the pan on a brisk, fire; stir without stopping until the masa begins to boil. Allow to boil for half a minute or so, then withdraw from the fire, and with a spoon 3irop a small quantity on a cold plate. If the sugar does not sticTi to the finger when pressed into it and withdrawn it ie boiled enough. If sticky it must be "boiled another minute, and again tested. If you have a sugar boiler's thermometer boil until the temperature reaches 235 deg. Fahr.

Before it is too etiff to run freely, pour into suitable moulds or boxes. Any medicine should be added while stirring. IR.
