A Sleeping Juror.

AGRICULTURE.

LARGE additions may be made to the
butter Welded from given quantity
of milk by heating the latter. This
cannot always be done conveniently
in large dairies. but 1t Is practicable
in small ones. Let the milk stand two
hours; then by placing on the stove
or cans of boiling wster. let the TEN
perature rise to about l60 deg: next
put it away for twelve Dours, more.
when a very solid cream will have
formed. II the milk has absorbed any
unpleasant odors in the barn, or in any
other place, they will be expelled by
this process, and the butter will retain
its natural aroma. The butter in chur-
ming will come much quicker IL treated
by this process than in any other way.
The depth at which tine milk is set
makes no material difference, only If a
large bulk IF milk is set in one vessel
it will require longer time to bring
| ir up to a proper temperature, and
| longer time to cool 1t down. Some
dairymen heat the milk Immediately as
| il comes from the Darn, out ny this
process there Is not near the quantity
of butter obtained as if allowed 10 stand
twelve hours, and besides the skim
milk is much superior In this latter
method over that produced by the rirst
named process. When Mr.. Ellsworth
of Barre was making his famous skim
cheese he heated his milk Immediately
as it came from the barn, and there is
little doubt that it was the heating of
the milk and retention of some of the
butter that gave such superiority 70
his cheese over any other ordinary
skim cheese.
Heating the milk when it first comes
from the barn appears to have the eff
ect Of coagulstiBg the albumen and
thus preventing the butter globules
from rising. A dairyman, within the
range OF our acquaintance who used
TO make butter aud sell skim milk, was
in the habit OF heating the milk as soon
as 1t came from the barn. He had a
ready sale for skim milk, but when he
commenced heating the milk after Ii
had stood twelve hours, none of his
former customers desired to purchase
any more of his skim milk. In large
dalries although more butter could be
obtained by the practice of heating
than by the cold, dsep setting process,
yet The extra labor required woHlG be
no offset, Tor the small extra amount
of butter obtained. 1t is an expert
menG which could be easily tried, and
every one could test the matter for
himself. The best method of making
gilt edged butter in winter is an i'm
portant question to many dairymen.

REMEDIES FOR HEADACHE The fol-

the treatment OF different forms OF
headache are collected from a variety
of Trustworthy sources: Two grains
citrate of esffeine, In capsule. faken

remedy in nervous and sick headache.
One or two doses are often sufficient to
give common relief. The orly oDiec-

as being hardly ever rejected by the
stomach. The following. according
to W. W. Carpenter, IS very ehectuai
in most forms of headache: MurIata
of ammonia, 8 dracbms; acetate OF
morphia, l grsin; citrate of caffeine.
80 grains; aromatic spirits ofammonia
l drachm; elixir of guarana, ounces,
rose-water, ounces. MIX. Dessert
spoonful every ten or twelve minutes.
In nervous headache, DIR. w. A. Ham,
mond states the value of various drugs
as follows: Oxide of zinc Is o
great value. Ordinary dose.
2 grains t rec times a day, sitter meals ;
maximum grains. Its best to give in
form of pills. Nux vomics is prefer
abe to strychnia. The dose is Il grain
after meals. If the patient be ch. .loric,
it is well to combine grain OF reduced
iron and half grain Of sulphate of
auinine. Blsmuth in the form of SUBJ
carbonate, will often take the place OF
zinc. Dose, two grains, after each
meal. Bismuth probably aids diges-
tIon more thaR any mineral tonic, and
is of nse when there is gastric disturb
ance. The bromides are serviceable
when the nervous system has been
irritated; when it is exhausted they
do harm. Phosphorus is very useful
in most forms or nervous headache.
The best results are obtained from di-
luted phi hosphoric acid, In doses OF 80
drops, largely diluted, three times a
day, after eating, or phosphide OF
zinc, one-tenth grain in pill, three
tunes a day. Arsenic, as q nerve
tonic, stands next in value to zinc.
Dose, 3 drops of Fowler's solution
three times a day. Galvanism is
sometimes valuable, but by no means
a specific. The constant curreat should
always be used, being careful to avoid
too great intensity, less amaurosis be
produced.
