It adds to the rich, blended flavor, and because of its quality of absorb ing moisture, helps to keep the cake from drying, she says. Its concen trated sweetness helps to preserve cake that will be kept for some time. While cane sugar is just one sugar, chemically, honey contains three su gars, Miss Taylor says, one of which is fruit sugar or levulose, which is sweeter than ordinary sugar. The sweetness of honey varies according to the amount of levulose it contains, but because of the water in honey, it averages about the same sweet ness, measure for measure, as or dinary sugar. Although honey is one-fifth water, the liquid in a recipe where honey is substituted for sugar sometimes must be reduced a little more than one-fifth, according to the consist ency of the honey and the propor tion of honey used. If medium- thick honey is substituted for one-half the sugar in cake or quick-bread re cipes, Miss Taylor advises reducing the liquid one-fourth. If the honey is substituted for all the sugar, re duce the liquid one-half. In making honey cakes and quick breads, it is best to mix the honey with the liquid, she says. Bake at the lowest temperature possible for the particular product, as this prevents loss or change of the flavor of the honey and avoids too rapid brown ing. Unless in a tightly sealed contain er, it is necessary that honey be stored in a dry place, or it will ab sorb moisture and ferment, as will other sugar syrup. Almost all honeys crystallize on aging, but can be liqui fied by warming the container in moderately hot water not over 140 degrees F. Farm Machinery Short Course Planned at OSC Corvallis A three-weeks' tractor and farm Dower eauipment short- course to be held January 10 to 21 has been arranged by the agncul ontfinpprins department at Or V - v"0"- CT . egon State college. Special emphasis will be given this year to operation and care of diesel tractors. The course is open to practical farmers or adult students of any age, though a tuition charge of $10 will be made to cover extra expense nec essary in handling such a course. Application blanks have been sent to all county agents, or may be ob tained direct from the college.
