Biscuits Never G When They t | Hot biscuite and butter, hot bis-j, cuits and honey, or hot biscuits and , marmalade?no one's face except a , confirmed dyspeptic's could help but brighten at the sight of a plate of tbem on the table if they are what proper biscuits should be?tender, flaky and well baked. Biscuits are not difficult to make when a few important points are !"?> <? TninH TVip<u? nrft to use a! *" ? ?? good recipe, to mix as quickly as possible after the baking powder is moistened, to have the dough just stiff enough to handle, and to bake in a rather hot oven. The following recipes for making biscuits are recommended by food specialists urfthe United States De- 1 partment ol^griculture: 1 Plain Baking Powder Biscuit Two cups sifted flour, three-quarters teaspoon salt, two teaspoons ' baking powder, two tablespoons 1 shortening into the flour with a knife ' or a cookie butter until well distri buted. Finally, if necessary, rub the mixture between the tips of fingers ' until it is like meal. Add just 1 enough cold liquid to make a soft ' dough that can 'be handled on the ' board, mixing with a knife if possible. Mix quickly and handle the 1 dough very lightly. Place it on a 1 floured board, roll to the thickness J of one-half inch and cut into desired t shape. Place the biscuits on a baking ] sheet or in shallow tins dusted lightly with flour and bake in rather hot \ oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until ^ thoroughly (baked. j Drop Biscuits To save time in preparation or ' when no cutter is at hand, the dough may be made somewhat softer than above and dropped on the tin by ] spoonsful about one-half inch apart. 1 The mixta r^y although soft should be stiff enough' not to spread on the i tin, yet soft enough so that the bis- 1 cuits when baked have a smooth, 1 iounded surface, rather than a rough, lumpy one. If desired, the ; top may be brushed with milk or i smoothed gently with a knife, dip- { ped into water or milk. Bake as i above. i These "emergeny" or drop bis- ] cuits are not quite like the rolled ones, yet if of the proper consist- ] ency they are equally good. Indeed, ? some excellent judges of pastry in- \ siat that they are always little more t j Soar Milk Biscuit. ^ Two and one-half cups sifted flour, 1 three-quarters teaspoon salt, threeeighths teaspoon baking soda, two 1 tablespoons shortening, one teaspoon ^ baking powder, va)bout three-quarters * cup cf sour milk or buttermilk. ^ Sift together the flour, salt, bak- c ing powder and soda. Cut or chop in the shortening, add the sour milk, and mix as usual. Bake thoroughly in a hot oven for about 10 to 12 ^ minutes. Be sure that the milk is rafBcientlv sour to neutralize all the I ^ soda. If desired, a drop biscuit may be a&ade, using about one cup of the ^ sour milk f<?r mixing and one-half v teaspoon soda. 8 Potato Biscuit. | Two cups sifted flow- one tea* t apoon salt, three teaspoons baking powder, one cup mashed potato ^ (sweet or Irish), three tablespoons ^ shortening/ Hquid sufficient to mix. t Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut or rub into this the cold shortening. In the same way rub into this flour mixture the masned potato. Finally add just enough cold liquid to make the mass cling together. Do not knead. Place on a floured board, roll until one^third Inch thick and cut into rounds, j Place these in lightly floured biscuit tins and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in j a moderately hot oven. Bake aU those made with flour alone. < TOP SOIL ROAD.

Clemson College, Oct. 13.?Anyone experienced in beekeeping is aware that a little colony of bees with little or. no stores and a weak queen ( has not much of a chance to pass through the winter successfully. If they pass the winter alive they will rarely be able to gather any considerable amount of the spring honey Row of this state. When bees are kept lold in the old-fashioned box hives that cannot be opened and examined theta is really no reliable way of <nowing whether the hive is in condition to pass the w'nter. A frame fiive, bees and all, should not weigh ;ess than 30 pounds, while 40 pounds j s better. A colony with plenty of! ;tores and an active queen has the' 5est chance to successfully pass the' winter under any kind of weather! :onditions. Beekeepers who have their bees in j :rame hives are referred to Farmers'! 3ulletin 1012, "The Preparation of, Bees for Outdoor Wintering." We are aware that there is con-, iiderable arguments as to the advisibility of packing bees in the South, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomolo-j ?

DIES DOG'S LIFE 4 Friend of Horse Follows To Death 1 in Fire. : Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 12.?Duri ing the burning of the garage at : Thirteenth and Stewart, Kansas City, ' a little ownerless dog sacrificed his | life that he might share the fate of a ; horse that died in the flames. The horse was bought from a trader and i ... I used for naming a smaii ice wagon, i After the arrival of the horse the! I dog was first noticed about his stall, j The dog had many friends among the1 boys in the neighborhood and divided j his time with them, but never failed i I to pay a daily visit to the horse, and j [ sometimes followed the wagon on its \ | rounds. Several attempts were made to j rescue the horse from the rapid j spread of the fire, but the fear of explosions from oil and gasoline pre- ^ vented the rescuers from reaching the animal. The dog accompanied each one who attempted to reach the horse, and was brought back forcibly several times, but finally sprang in alone and made his way through flames and falling timbers and died beside the friend he could not save. - ?

I Clemson College, Oct. 12.?Velvet ] beans should not be picked until they are thoroughly ripe and dry < and after frost has killed the leaves, i If immature or damp pods are stored 1 in bulk, they will heat and mold un- 1 less stirred at frequent intervals, warns N. E. Winterrs, extension ag- j ronomist, who says that many people growing velvet beans for the first time make this mistake, with the result that the seed treated in this way will have a very low germinating power. On account of the character of growth of velvet ibean9, it is necessary to pick the pods by hand. The cost of picking where labor is plentiful is usually about 25 cents per hundred pounds. The price for picking, of course varies with the variety grown and labor conditions. The large podded sorts, such as the I Osceola, are more easily gathered than the smaller podded varieties t like the Early Speckled or Ninety- t Day bean and many laborers prefer t to pick the Osceola even-at 10 to 15 cents less per undred. The average I laborers will pick from 500 to 700 . pounds of beans in the pod per day. But it is almost impossible to do a good clean job of picking velvet beans, hence livestock should be infn fllfi t.VlA rnW ers have finished, in order to use the vines and the beans not gathered. Velvet beans yield on the average from 1000 to 2000 pounds beans in the pod per acre. The Missi^ippi Experiment Station obtained a yield at McNeill, Miss., of 44,000 pounds per acre, and still higher yields have been reported. They do better usually from the second year than they do the first year. Ninety to ninety-five pounds of Early Speck- j led beans in the pod or one hundred pounds of Osceola beans in the pod will make about sixty pounds of shelled beans. Usually one ton of be-ans in the pod will thresh out twenty to twenty-five bushels shelled beans. *| I / Hyacinth doz Bulbs - ber Spe money? Then spend it ? ir dollar goes farther hei >DS. SV 20c.
