AGRIOULTURE. LAIR additions may be made to the butter yielded from a given quantity o milk by heating the latter. This cannot always be done conveniently in large dairies, but it is practicable in small ones. Let the milk stand two hours; then by placing on the stove or cans of boiling water, let the tem perature rise to about 100 dog.: next put it away for I welve nours, more, when a very solid cream will have formed. If the milk has absorbed any unpleasant odors in the bari, or in aiy other place, they will be expelled by this process, and the butter will retain its naturalaroma. The butter in chur ning will come much quicker if treated by this process than in any other way. '.I he depth at which the milk is set makes no material difference, only if a large bulk of milk is set in one vessel it will require a longer time to bring it up to a proper temperature, and a longer time to cool it down. Some dairymen heat the milk immediately as it comes from the barn, but by this process there is not near the quantity of butter obtained as if allowed to stand twelve hours, and besides the skim milk i8 much superior Ii this latter method over that produced by the lirst named process. When Mr. Ellaworti of Barre was makliNg his lamous skitu cheese lie heated his milk immediately as it came lion the barn, antd there is little dubt that it was ele heating of the milk and retention of some of the butter tkat gave suci a superiority to his cheese over any other ordinary skim-cheeso. Heating the milk when it first comes from the barn appears to have the el ect of cougilaling the albumen and t us .prevcn tinig the butter globules tronm rising.

RE3MEDIXS FOR [EA DAOUE -Tihe fo1 lowing: recipes and suggestions for the treatment of different forms of headacbe are collected from a variety of trustworthy sources: Two grains citrate of caffeine, in capsule, taken every half hour, Is a very effeetital remedy In nervous and sick headaphe. One or two doses are often Pufiletent to give common relief. Trh only otec tion to its use Is sleepleseress, which somettimes results If it. 14 taken in the evening. It is prefarable to guarana, as being hardly ever rejected fy the stomach. Tho following, according to W. W. Carpenter, is very effectu.al in most forms of headache: Mitrate of ammonia, S drachis; acetatn of morphia, 1 grain ; citrate of calfeine, :30 grains; oronatilo spirits of annonia 1 drachin ; elixir of guarana, -1 ounces, roso-water, 4 ou noes. Mix. Dessert spoonful every ten or twelve minutes. In nervous headache, Dr. W. A. Ham mond 3tates the value of various drugs as follows: Oxide of zinc Is of great value. Ordinary dose, 2 grains t'ree times a day,iter meals; maximum gralis. It is best to give in form of pills. Nux vomica Is prefer ab' to strydhnia. The dose is % grain after meals. If the patient be ci<lorio, it is well to combine a grain o reduced iron an(d a half grain of sulphate of quinine. Bismuth in the forn of sub carbonate, will often take the place of zlio. Dose, two grains, after each meal. Bismuth probably aids diges tion more thaw any mineral tonic, and is of use when there is gastric disturb anco. The bromides are serviceable when the nervous system hils been Irritated; when it is exhausted they do harmi. Phosphorus Is very useful in most forms of nervous headache. 'Tho best results are obtained from di luted phosphoric acid, In doses of 30 drops, largely diluted, three times a day, attor eating, or lihosphide of zinc, one-tenth grain in pill, three Limes a day. Arsenic, as a nerve tonic, stands next in value to zine. Dose, 5 drops of Fowier's solution three times a day. Galvanism Is sometimes valuable, but by Io miais a specilic. The costant current should always be used, heing careful to avold too great intensity, less aniauarosis be prod uiced. CABINET makers and wood workers generally are famillar with the use of glue In dressing tool cuts and oiher lIght woutnds inc' lent to their call ing.

Having had numberless Inquiries for advertising cards from ladies in all parts o1 the country who tbre interest ed In the prevaillng fashion of making "Card Collections," we are having printed for them a set of seven beauti ful cards, each in six colors and on a gold background, in the very highest degree of art, illustratingShakspeare's "Seven Ages of Man," We have spared no expense in these cards-they are simply little art gems. Our only aim has been to publisi the finest cards yet shown. Applications for then have coni in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition is engaged before the receipt by us of the cards from the artist. We have therefore been obliged to adopt theofollowing plan for the dis tribution of the remainider: No more of the gilt Shakspeare cards, seven in tile series, will be sent excepting upon the receipt of a statement from a grocer that the persoi applying for the vards has bought of hii on that day at least seven bars of Dobbis' EiLettrio Soap, with price paid for same. All& pply Ing in this manner will receive the full set of seven cards gratis by mall. This will Insure us that our frIands and pa trolns get their share of these beautiful designs, although it In no manner re pays us for the costof the cards, Your grocer has the soap or wilL get it, ai.d tue purchase by you of seven bars of it at one time will sectire for you gratis seven really beautiful cards. Theimc soap linproves with age, and Is an article of neuessity in 3 our house every week. Thereloro you are nut asked to buy a useless article, but one that you must have any way. i.'leaso send us your applicattion at once, and tell your lady friends making 'Card Collections," to do the sate. Grocers do not have the cards to deliver. Buy tile soap of them, send us their bill, and wo will mail you the cards fre. Yours respectfully, L L, CuAGIN & Co., 116 South 4:ha Street, 1itiadelphia, Pa. P. S.-Ladies not wishing to buy sop can get tile cards by remitting cost price, 25 cents.

Many traditions and sone authentlic stories arepreserved of luckless persons who have been en gulfed there, and the ''shooting" of the rapids even by skillil pilots is always an anxious and delicate piece of work. Another sad examliple was recently added to the record of calamitles at this celebrated locality. In this case, as in others, the presence and exertiens of a falous pilot--named Dalllebout iu the present instanee-taled to avert the catastrophe. Tenl lituberiien, under Dallebout's cominand, started early In tile morning from Caughuawaga vil lage to make the descent of the Lachine rapids. Another raft under Baptiste, also a wellknown pilot, set out at the same time from the same place; and those who were on board the last ralt saw all that happened to the crew of the first one. It scens that, by some mischance, Daillebout swung his raft out of the right channel at a critical moment. Before h and his men could retrieve their error their control of the raft was gone. In a few inimuites they were (iriven with awful velocity into the vortex of foaming waters that tihe tourists' steamers pass through when rutnning the rapids. Those steamers, steered with matchless dexterity, and having their engines to steady thei course, get through habitually in safe ty?. But with a r-aft, having nothing but human strength to shape the course, it Is, of course, far dtifferent, in this case tile frail structulre wam irolled over andl over and hurled l:1 every dIrection. She had to go througli a mile of tumbling, seething waters for the most p~art Indeed half a catarret --before she or any fragments of her could emerge into the smooth safety of the river below. The spectators saw a moving and extraordinary sight. Logs sixty feet long were tossed in the air like so many twigs. Piece by hpiece tile raft broeke asunder. No power on eartlh could aid her wretched crew, and it seemed inevitable that they~mustiperisi to ar ma. Bat it was otherwise deereed. Des pite this amuazing ordeal, and despite most of their number being frightfully bruised, eight of the eleven occupants of the raft went through the rapidi alive. Not only that but they managet to cling to portions of their shatterc hark so as to be rescued1 at last by then brothier lumbermen who had seen with ouit belne~ ablie to aid them in theli peril. The remaining three raftsmer perlshedh ; and tihe wonder is, according io the reports that have recacbed us that there should have been any sur vivors at all [romt a catastrophe which in mofst, cases iias uisuaily been hfattal te every man concerned.
