Beaten Biscuit.

To one quart of fine -four add two
ounces of butter and lard mixed, and
half a pint of new milk with a heap,
ing teaspoonful OF salt. A handful
of flour is to be reserved for the
purpose of beating in the biscuit.
The dough is to be beaten until it
becomes perfectly smooth. Roll the
biscuit very thin, and bake in a
quick oven. The regular beaten
biscuit is more often made up into
small cakes with the hand, pricked
with a fork, but not cut out. Many
kitchens are furnished with a stout
cedar log for this purpose, as a very
substantial table would otherwise
be needed. An AK is considered the
best beaten. The snowy whlteness
of these biscuit alone recommend
them to popularity.

Cure for Colds in the Head.

The London Spectator says; 1t
would seem that the cure for those
worst of small nuisances, colds in
the head, which DIR. Terrier suggest
ed in the Lancet, might prove to be
a remedy of very great value. 1t is
a snuff-a white powder--composed
of the following ingredients: Hy
drochlorate of morphia, two grains; ;,
acacia powder, two drachms; trisni
trate of bismuth, six drachms-the
whole making up a quantity of
powder of which from one quarter to
one half may be safely taken, if
necessary, in the course of twenty
four hours. DR.. Terrier says that
with this snuff he has twice cured
himself of very violent colds, in
deed, by taking trisnitrate of bis
muth alone, which is very power
full remedy for catarrh of the mucus
membrane, and it is the most i'm
portant ingredient in the snuff. He
also mentions two other persons
who were cured of violent colds by
the same snuff, and to these we
may add that of the present writer.
The snuff instead of increasing the
tendency to sneeze almost immedi
ately begins to diminish it.

Bee-keeping Profitable.
To the Editor of the courier-Joqrnal.

To the Editor of the CourierJ oQrnal.
We have received a letter from
Mr.. Josiah Bliss with the following
description of the bee enterprise of
Messrs. Bence q Son, near Fair
view, jefferson County, Kentucky.
1t shows what energy and applica-
ton to q speciality will accomplish /:
Messrs. Bence d Son commenced
six years ago with two swarms of
Italian bees and determination at
trying their hands with bee culture.
How they have succeeded the Sc
quel will show. At the close of the
year they had increased from the
two stands to thlrteen-taking out
a large surplus of honey for their
own use and supplying over 200
pounds for market. Having had
but little or no experience in this
department of husbandry, they be-
took themselves to reading bee
journals and close observation of
their own bees.
The Messrs. Bence want it under
stood that their bees do not ''manu-
facture" honey. They "gather" 1t
from the flowers. AT one time, as
nov, they take it from the bloom
of poplar trees, which make the
honey of dark color. At other
times the bloom of clover furnishes
the sweet harvest of a lighter color.
l had always considered the op
Grafton of taking honey from bees a
cruel practice, but since l have wit
messed the process of throwing
out honey and replacing the comb,
which the bees so easily all, have
changed my mind.
If any of your readers doubt the
above statements, Mr.. B. invites
them to visit his city of bee hives
and see for themselves what can be
done, and What lie slone, with one
other PERSONS help, has accom-
plished in the past six ears in this
department of husbandry on &
small farm. Last year being a good
year, he took 5000 pounds of
honey from less than fifty stands of
hives, taking from IS to 20 pounds
at a time at intervals of four or five
days, emptying and replacing the
combs each time. This little work
Ell thus exemplifying the praise Of
DIR. Watts
Improved each shining hour
In gathering honey all the day
From every opening flower"

Farmer Unity Successful.

Editor Avalanche-The last few
years have been particularly OPP
pressive upon the farming interests
of our country, and had it not been
for the patient and untiring efforts
of the Patrons of HUsbandry, this,
the foundation of all enterprises,
would have been more humiliating
and poverty stricken than at pres
ent. To unite the farmers for self
protection and mutual aid has been
a work of great labor, incessant toll
and patience. This unity aud con
cord should have been adopted
many years ago; but better late
that never. 1t is only by the uni
ted will and strength of farmers
that they can secure and retain
their just and natural rights.
A few years since a comparative
ly few intelligent, live farmers com
pretended the isolated and disjoint-
ed condition in which the farming
interests of the country had been
desolated, degraded and enslaved.
These few farmers, who have stead
lily given their time and talents to
this greatest of professions, can
even now witness the effects that
have been wrought upon trade and
the legislation of the country by
the collective energies of farm life.
The late increase of farmer legisla-
tors in several States of our Union
is a sure evidence of the rapid
growth of a better state of affairs,
both for government and people.
The agricultural profession is be-
coming more prominent, more pro
gressive, and her march upward is
visible, even to the eyes of her
most active enemies.
The boy farmer should be educa-
ted. Learn him to calculate, to
write dramatically. Chemistry is
highly important to him; and he
cannot be a good citizen without
a knowledge of the machinery and
workings of his government, which
should be taught in all our schools.

Mr. II K STEVENS
Dear Sir-Having suffered from breaking
out of Cankerous Sores for more than five
years, caused by an accident Of fractured
bone, which fracture ran into running sore,
and having used everything l could think of

bottles of your valuable medicine which Mr..

highly. The sixth bottle cured me- and all

valuable Veeetipe. Your most obedient ser

alt is unnecessary for me to enumerate the
diseases for which the Vegetine should be
used. | know of no disease which will not
admit fits use, with good results. Almost
inuumC rable complaints are caused by pois-
onous secretions in the blood. which can be
entirely expelled from the system by the use
of the Vegetine. When the blood is perfect
eddy cleansed, the disease rapidly yields; all
pains cease heulthy action is promptly re-
stored, and the patient is cured.

All diseases of the blood.--I If Vegetine will
relieve pain; cleanse, purify and oEre such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect
health after trying different physici ans,
many remedies and suffering for years, is it
not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer
you can be cured9 Why is this medicine per-
forming such great curesi 1t works in the
blood, in the circulating fluid. 1t can truly
b. called the Great Blood Purifier. The
great source of disease originates in the
blood: and 10 medicine that does not act di-
rectly upon it to purify and renovate, has
any Just claim upon public attention.

Only.

Only a sunbeam! but it bright
ened the lovely flowers, gave fresh
er hue to the grass and threw its
rays into dark dwellings of poverty,
carrying gladness to the hearts of
their inmates.
Only a kind word! but it com
forted the broken heart and revived
the dropping spirit. 1t encouraged
some erring one to walk once more
in the path of virtue.
Only an angry word! perhaps 1t
was spoken thoughtlessly, but it
carried grief to some heart already
discouraged by unkindness.
Only a little child! but it may be-
come a good and able man or
woman, or an idle, useless member
of society. 1t may influence others
for good, to work for the Savior,
tread the straight and narrow way,
or walk the broad road that leads to
destruction.
Only a glass of wine! but it
dragged a noble, talented boy to
the lowest depths of poverty and
ruin. 1t broke a loving mothers
heart, and brought fathers gray
hair in sorrow to the grave.
Only a little grave but it contains
all that is now left of mothers
cherished idol and a fathers pride
and joy. Beneath that little mound
of earth is sleeping the bright eyed
pet of a home now desolate and sad.
Only an hour! but if wasted every
day in idleness will soon amount to
great deal of precious time lost
forever. If spent in useful study or
little acts of kindness, it will bring
peace and happiness.
Only a life it is short and fleet
ing; but if spent in wickedness ii
will bring an eternity of misery and
woe; if spent in doing good it will
be but the beginning of an eternal life
of happiness.

Snuff Dipping.

Sunny South: 1t is not generally
known to what an extent this Prac-
tice Of Dipping snuff is carried in
some sections of our fair South,
nor how many matrons and young
girls of intelligence and high social
standing are slaves to habit that
gradually undermines their health,
skaters their nerves and too often
insidiously opens the doors to the
terrible opium habit.
Snuff dipping is demoralizing IN
the first instance, because in most
cases 1t fosters concealment and de-
ceit. The habit is kept secret from
parents and friends.
We know daughters whose snuff
bottles are concealed in their rooms,
where they use it constantly with
out the knowledge of their parents.
We have seen at boarding schools
girls go into Mysteries when de
prived of the use of their snuff,
and borrow tobacco from the ser
wants as substitute, until they
could obtain their usual stimulant
of Scotch and Maccaboy; and we are
we'll acquainted with three sisters

practice was continued, and still
they cling 10 their snuff bottles as

life unexpectedly burdensome.

The Prairie Farmer thinks, "a
farmer aught to be not only an &C
complished tiller of the soil, but
also an excellent mechanic, fair
harness maker and mender of shoes,
a tolerble carpenter, a pretty good
blacksmith or machinist, and also a
wide awake, thorough judge and
breeder OF stock, knowing how and
caring for their afiments--not only
horses and cattle, but sheep, hogs,
mules, poultry, or anything that
money can be made out of. With
all this he should be civil engin-
eer acquainted with levels and by
draulics, AID repairs of pumps, and
if, in addition TO these require
ments, he understands laying stone
and brick, and putting on plaster
ing, as well as mixing and applying
paints, he will find plenty to do, to
say nothing Of what he ought to
know about grain and milling it.
His wife,an in fact all good house

ker also.

Raise the window, mother darling,
Air can never harm me now,
Let the breeze come unobstructed,
1t will cool my fevered brow;
Death will soon release my sorrow,
Soon win still my aching heart,
But l have dying message,
I would speak before we part.
Lay your head upon my bosom,
Held me closer, mother dear,
While ! breathe that name long silent
In the long and lonely year.
Say you heard footstep coming;
No, twas but the rustling trees;
Strange how my disordered fancy
Caught football in the breeze.
Mother, there was one-you knew him
OH l cannot speak that namel
You remember how he sought me,
How with tender words he came;
How he gained my warm affection
Vowing in loves gentle tone
How he would forever guide me
Were my heart but his alone.
You remember how / trusted,
How my thoughts were all of him
Mother, draw the curtain higher,
For the light is growing DIM
Need l tell you how he left me,
Colby putting me asidei
How he wooed and won another
Fair girl to be his brides

Profane Swearing.

There is no habit" said the
preacher last Sunday evening, "that
is more disgusting than that of
profane swearing" And he was
not far wrong. When the inexora-
BILE conscript officer from the Silent
Land lays his pallid hand upon you
and bids you come to join the innu-
merable caravan forever marching
ing to muffled drums through the
Vale of Shadows, how much do you
suppose you would be willing at
that moment to give in the current
coin of the realm to be able truth
fully to say that you had never
sworn an oath in your life? You
needn't name the sum. To pay the
interest on it at one per cent. for
fifteen minutes would bankrupt the
