Dairymen are every year astonished ct
The remarkable yield claimed for some dai-
Ties, reaching Eve or six hundred pounds Of
cheese and butter per COW, and even higher
than this, the cows being led on hay and
grass alone To prove the truth Of these
siatemsnts, We refsrred to the, books Of the
mslchant Who has received the produce, and
Il is found all correct. Good cows, good
feed, careful dairyman, are the most OBJ
vious reasons that must unite in producing
this result These are ct the command Of
any one who earnestly sets about it. Yet
how difficult It Is TO attain these highest
Yields Of The daryl The truth is, many
minor cases, apparently too tFiAing for. no
tice, must operate together, or fail. lnquir.
ing out one Of The three large reports, We
found that the owners, the man and his
wife, not only did al the milking themselves,
bat they always brought and drove their
own cows. Quietness In driving, especially
when the udders are full, is Of the utmost
importance. A broken bar, and Q swellCd
teif, are often the only Indications the ow-
ner gets Of mconsiderable haste in driving

MISCELLANY.
Adventure with a Boa Constructor.

One of the most thrilling incidents which
has ever come to our knowledge. occurred a
few DAYS since in ''sde show with Van Am
hugh & Co.'S Menagerie, where two enormous
snakes-an anaconda and a boa constructor
are on exhibition. Both of the huge reptiles
are kept in one case with glass top, opening
at the side, and the keeper was engaged in the
act OF feeding them when the event occurred
The larger of the snakes, the boa constructor,
which is some thirty feet long, and as large
around the middle as a mans thigh, had just
swallowed two rabbits, when the keeper intro
duced his arm and body into the cage for the
purpose of reaching third to the anaconda
at the opposite corner. While in this position
the boa,not satisfied with his portion of the ra-
lions, made spring, probably with the inten-
ton of securing the remaining rabbit, but, in
stead, fastened his jaws upon the keepers
hand, and, with the rapidity oflightning threw
three coils around the poor fellow, thus render
ing him entirely helpless. His shouts of dis
tress at once brought several men to his as
sstance, and among them, fortunately, was
well known Snowman named Townsend man
of great muscular power, and what was of
much more importance, one who had been Ia
miiar with the habits of these repulsive mon
sters all his life, having owned some oil the
largest ones ever brought to this country.
The situation of the keeper was now peril
Gus in the extreme. The first thing to be done
was to uncoil the snake from around him; but
if, in attempting this, the reptile should become
in the least degree angered, he would, in a
second, contract his coils with a power sufii-
Gent to crush the life out Of an OK. A single
quick CONFUSION of the creature, and the
keepers soul would be in eternity. This
Townsend fully understood; SO without at
tempting to disturb the boa's hold upon the
keepers hand, he managed by powerful, yet
extremely cautious movement, to uncoil the
snake without exciting him; after which, by
the united exertions of two strong men, the
jaws were pried open, and the man released in
a completely exhausted condition. The bite
of the boa constructor is not poisonous, and al
though the bitten hand was immensely swoll-
en- the next day, no serious results were appre-
hended. A more narrow escape from most
horrible death, it would be difficult to imag-
inc.

] manufacturer and yender of ouack medi.

A manufacturer and vender of quack medi-
cines once wrote to friend for strong re-
commentator of his 1.-THE manufacturers BAL
sam" In few days he received the follow
ing, which we call pretty strong :-"Dedr
Sir-The land composing this farm has hith-
erto been so poor that Scotchman could not
get living off it, and so stony that we had to
slice our potatoes and plant them edgewise !;
but hearing Of your balsam, put some on the
corner of ten acre field surrounded by rail-
fence, and in the morning | found that the
rocks had entirely disappeared, a neat stone
wall encircled the field, and the rails were split
into firewood and piled symmetrically in my
backyard. l put half an ounce in the middle
of huckleberry swamp-and in two days it
was cleared off, planted with corn and pump
kins, and a row of peach trees in full blossom
through the middle. As an evidence of ire
mendous strength, would say that it drew a
striking likeness of my eldest son, drew my
second son out of the mill-pond, drew blister
all over his stomach-drew Off a load of pota-
toes four miles TO market, and eventually drew
a prize of ninety dollars in the lottery"
