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. A dairyman, withini the
range o our ac qualitance who used
to make butter aid sol skim milk, was
in the habito Ieatinig the inilk as soon
as It canme from the barn. lie had a

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.

JoUNsON is a praetlcal joker. Seeing
a man going along Euelld. avenue
C'eveland carrying a lot of tools, he
stopped him and said:
"Got anything to do partlularly?"
"No sir; just ilnished a small Job."
"I want you to take the roof off that
house," pointing to . iansion owned
by a talllionaire.
"When?",
"Begih right away. I've got a crazy
uncle over there, but don't pay any
attontLion to blin.".
The man went away, but soo camine
back with three other ien and a
couple of ladders. Tho owner of the
4inuse, hearing a terrible racket, rush
ed out seeing the ien at worked
yelled:
"Whatare you doing up there?"
"Taking oilr this roof."
"If yoll don't come down and let
that roof slone I'll have you sent to
the peneltentiary."
"Never mind that old fellow," said
the boss workman. "hle's crazy."
"Crazy I" howled the owner.
"Yes, crazy. Your nephew told me
to take off this roof, and i'ai going to
do it."
The owner went out and pretty soon
returned witha a couple of policemen.
Tie workmen wore pulled, off the
house and taken to the station. The
joke cost about fifty dollars, and unless
Johnson leaves thelcity,the boss work

To All Our Friends.
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.
An Advonturo at Lachilno Rapid.
Canadian tourists, or those fainiliar
with the river St. Lawrence, need not
to be told of the picturesque danger of
the Lachine rapids. 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.
