Dry 12artH ns n Deodoriser. It' is very seldom that one finds a privy in tho country which is n nuisance. 'JPhoso who aro careful and neat about most matters, generally utterly neglect this necessary appoudago to their prem ises. It is well known that tho poudrctto Which is made mid sold in such large quantities is only night soil, deodorized by mixing it with tho dredglngs of a ainnl and drying it. It is commonly supposed that somo particular kind of earth is necessary, and in tho absence of that, nono at all is used. Any kind of earth, well dried, and all tho better if sifted, will answer to mix with tho night soil. Tho Rev. II. Moulc, of En g- laud, states that ho finds that the earth af ter being used once and then thoroughly dried, is equally as eillcacious as at first, and that ho was using tho samo earth for tho fifth tlme,tho rcsultlngcompoiiud being so perfectly odorless that a per son unacquainted with its composition would' not suspect what it was. Asldo from considerations of comfort and health, this plan hi worth adopting for tho value of tho resulting manure. Ho says-: "A farmer and several laborers to whom I mentioned tho following slrn -plo plan' nt onco entered into it : Tho present vault is to bo discontinued, and in tho placo of it there is to bo under tho ' Boat a small enclosure of brick or stone, kIx or nino inches deep. To' prcservo the full value-of tho manure for the gar don, the enclosure should be paved, or havo a flat stone for its bottom-. It Would, of course, bo closed with a door. On ono sldo would bo a small rough Blied, capable of covering and keeping dry a cart-load of earth for tho pur poso of mixing, and on tho other sldo a similar shed, into which tho soli so mixod would day by day bo thrown, for tho purposo of drying. "When dry, this would bo used again, and tho uses of tho two sheds bo revers ed. By thus repeatedly using it, and shifting it backward and forward fr .a ono shed to tho other", ono load of earth will bo found sufficient for five persons, certainly for six months, and, I believe, for twelve. This is the simplest, but by no means tho least offensive mode of ap plying, this remarkablo agent," Poultry. The value of poultry nnd eggs raised in Franco annually is twenty million dollars, and in England ouly four mil lions. In tills respect wo aro doubtless far behind our French cousins. Tho English climate is against them, but ours is doubtless as favorable as that of Franco or any other country. Many good farmers seem to suppose that poultry und a garden aro inconsistent, and yet a littlo expense in fortifying the garden fonce with pickets, or a few laths, will remedy them at once. In cit ies liens may bo kept confined, but this is not tho profitable method. Give them a wide range for grass and insects, and you will find no investmeut pay half so woll, and' for this very recson, if for no other, that by their means so much val ueless matter, combined with a littlo grain, is converted Into tho choicest hu man food. They need warm quarters nnd low roo3ts, and a placo for roosting devoted to themselves whoro thoy will bo. undisturbed. In raising chickens wo BhoiUd notlco that it is wot that destroys moro than all other causes, especially Is this tho case with turkoys. Tho best plan wo havo found Is to confine tho mother bird Insido a house or shed with a latticp which allows the chicks to go out. But this they aro not allowed to do until tho dew is thoroughly drlod off in the morning; not at all when It rains until thoy arrive at tho ago when thoy becomo sufficiently strong.

Vdca Herald, IIoiv to Groom Horses.- In' grooming a horso men sometimes uso heavy curry-comb nnd a heavlor hand, not beeauso thoy nro necessary to tho cleaning process, but simply to teo liow tho nnlniiu will "cut up." This is all wrong, and it is a pity that a groom thin abusing Us power could not bo jnado to change places with tho hore- us often as tho wrong is perpetrated. Many . horses, and good ones too, are thin skin ned and peculiarly Bonsltlve to tho curry-comb.

Jlural Acw loi'kcr. About Good nnit 1'oor Milk. Sin. N. T. True, of tho Maine ltrm- (r, writes that milk differs more widely In quality than almost any other article. It dirfers Indlirerent breeds, and In cows of tho samo breed, at different seasons of tho year. Let n cow bo fed on mend ow hay alone, and tlmt lato cut, and her milk will look bluo and thin, and void of cream. Buyers of such milk have reason to complain of poor milk. On the other hand, tho name cow fed with sweet clover hay, or fed with meal, will glvo you milk entirely different In qual ity. Milk kept In n foul cellar will bo essentially alfected by tho odors arising from tho decomposition of vegetablo mutter.- FOR YOUTHFUL READERS. King Grlzxlt-Denrri. A great king of a land far away in tho East had a daughter who was very beautiful, but so proud, and haughty, and conceited that nono of tho princes who camo to ask her in marringo wero good enough for her, and she only made sport of them. Once upon a time tho king held great feast, and asked thither all her suitors ; and they all sat in a row ranged according to their rank kings, and princes, and dukes, and earls, andcounts, and barons, and knlglits. Then tho princess camo in, and as she passed by them sho had something spite ful to say to every one. Tho first was too fat : " He's as round as a tub," said she. The next was too tall : " "What a may polo!" said sho. Tho next was too short: ""What r dumpling I" said sho. The fourth was too pale, and sho call ed him " Wallfacc." The fifth was too red, so sho called him "Coxcomb." Tho sixth was not straight enough; so sho said he was llko a green stick, that had been laid to dry over abakcr's oven. And thus sho had somo joke to crack upon every ono ; but sho laughed more than all at a good king who was there. " Look at him," said sho; " his beard is like an old mop ; ho shall bo called Grizzle-beard." So the king got thenicknameof Grizzle-beard. But the old king was very angry when ho saw how his daughter behaved, and how she ill-treated nil his guests; and ho vowed that, willing or unwilling, she should marry tho first man, bo ho prince or beggar, who came to the door. Two days after there came by a travel ling fiddler, who began to play under tho window and beg alms ; and when tho king heard him ho said : " Let him como in." So they brought in a dirty-looking fellow, and when ho had sung before tho king and the princess, ho begged a boon. Then tho king said: "You havo sung so well that I will givo you my daughter for your wife." The princess begged and prayed ; but the king said : " I have sworn to givo you to tho first comer, and I will keep my word." So words and tears M'ero of no avail ; tho parson was sent for, and sho was married to tho fiddler. When this was over the king said : " Now get ready to go you must not stay hero you must travel on with your husband." Then the fiddler went his way, and took her with him, and they soon came to a great wood. "Pray," said she, "whoso Is this wood?" "It belongs to King Grlzzlo-beard," answered ho; "hadst thou taken him, all had been thine." "All! unlucky wretch that I am!" sighed sho; " would that I had married King Grizzle-beard !" Noxt thoy camo to somo fino meadows. "Whoso aro thoso beautiful green meadows?" said she. " Thoy beloug to Kingarizzle-beard ; hadst thou taken him, thoy had all been thine." "Ah! unlucky wretch that I am!" said sho; "would that I had married King Grizzle-beard 1" ' Then they camo to a great city. " Whoso h this noblo city ?" paid she "It belongs to King Grizzle-beard; hadst thou taken him, it had all boon thlno." "Ah ! wretch that I am!" sighed sho; "why did I not marry King Grizzle beard?" " That is no business of mine," said tho fiddler; "why should you wish for another husband ? am not I good enough for you ?" At last they camo to a small cottage. " What a paltry placo !" said sho ; " to whom does thatllltlodiityholobclong?" Then tho fiddler wild : "That is your und my house, whoro wo aro to live." "Whoro aro your servants?" cried sho. "What do wo want with servants?' said ho; "you must do for yours-elf whalover Is to bo done. Now makotho flro, nnd put on water, and cook my sup per, for 1 am very tired." But tho princejo know nothing of making fires and cooking, nnd tho fid dler was forced to help her. When they had eaten a very scanty meal thoy went to bed; but tho fiddler called her up very early lu tho mornlug to clean tho house. Thii3 they lived for two days, and when thoy had eaten up all thero was In tho cottage, tho man said : " Wife, wo cau't go on thus, upending money nnd earning nothing. You must learn to weavo baskets."' Then ho went out nnd cut willows, aud brought them home, und sho began to weave, but It inado her fingers very sore. "1 see this Work won't do," said he: "try and spin; perhaps you will do that better. So sho pat down and tried to spin ; but tho threads cut her fingers till tho blood ran. " Seo now," said tho fiddler, " you aro good for nothing ; you can do no work ; what a bargain I havo got! However, I'll try and set up a trado in pots and pans, and you shall stand In tho market and sell them." "Alas!" sighed she, "if any of my father's court should pass by nnd seo mo standing In the market, how they will laugh nt inc." But her husband did not enrofor that, and said sho must work, If sho did not wish to dto of hunger. At first tho trado went well ; for many people, seeing such a beautiful woman, went to buy her wares, and paid their money without thinking of taking away tho goods. They lived on this as long ns It lasted, and then her husband bought a fresh lot of ware, and sho sat herself down with it In a corner of the market; but a drunken soldier soon camo by, nnd rode his liorso against her stall, and broko till her goods Into a thousand nieces. Then sho began to "Ah! what will becomo of mo?' said sho; " what will my husband say?' So she ran home and told him all. " AVho would havo thought you would havo been so silly," said lie, " as to put an earthenware stall in the corner of tho market whero everybody pns-ses? But lot us have no moro crying; I bee you aro not fit for tills port of work, so J havo been to tho king's palace, and ask ed If they did not want u kitchen-maid; nnd they say they will take you, and thero you will havo plenty to cat." Thus tho princess became a kitchen maid, and helped tho cook do all tho dirtiest work, but sho was allowed to carry home some of tho meat that was left, and on this they lived. She had not been thero long before she heard that the king's eldest son was passing by, going to bo married, and sho went to ono of tho windows and looked out. Everything was ready, and all tho pomp and brightness of tho court was there. Then sho bitterly grieved for the prldo and folly which had brought her so low. Anil tho servants gave her somo of tho rich meats, which she put into her basket to take home. All on a sudden, as she was going out, In camo the king's son in golden clothes, nnd when he saw a beautiful woman at tho door he took her by tho hand, and said sho should be his partner in the danco; but sho trembled for fear, fur sho saw that it was King Grizzle-beard who was making sport of her. How ever ho kept fast hold, and led her in ; and the cover of the basket ranie off, so that tho meats in it fell all about. Then everybody laughed and jeered at her, and sho was so abashed that sho wished lurself a thousand feet deep in f hcearth. Shu sprang to tho door to run away ; but on tho stops Ivlng Grizzle-beard over took her, and brought her back and said : " Fear mo not ! I am tho fiddler who lias lived with you in tho hut. I brought you thero because I really loved you. I am also tho soldier that overact your stall. I havo done all this only to cure you of your silly pride, and to show you tho folly of your ill-treatment of mo. Now all Is over ; you have learnt -wisdom, and it is tlmoto hold our marriage feast." Then tho chamberlains camo nnd brought her tho most beautiful robes; nnd her father and his whole court were thero already, nnd welcomed her homo on her marriage. Joy was in every face nnd every heart. Tho feast was grand ; they danced and sang ; all wero merry ; and I only wish tiiat you nnd I had been of tho party. WIT AND WISDOM. A "caiiellam" is tho phrnso for a cable dispatch. It is not varnish upon a carriage that gives it motion or strength. If tho doctor orders bark, has not the patieut a right to growl. "File right!" said an officer to his company. " Bedauy'saluan Irishman, who stood near by, sharpening his saw, " it's mo own property, an' I'll bodoin' as I plaze wid it." A pj:ut littlo girl boasted to ono of her young friends that her " father kept n carriage." "Ah, but," was tho tri umphant reply, "my father drives an omnibus." Why is it complimentary to call a man a "son of a gun?" Beeauso It is well known that no gun Is good for any thing unless It descends in a straight lino lrom a good stock. A German paper states that a young man recently married a widow twice- ids ago: nnd ho ascertained subse quently that his wlfo had onco beeu his wet nurse. Tin: most remarkablo instance of In decision wo over heard of was that of the man who sat up all ulght because 1m could not decldo.whicli to lako oil" first, his coat or his boots. "Tins looking forward to enjoy ment," says an ublo writer, "don't pay." " From what I know of It, I would ns soon clinso butterflies for a living or bottle up moonshine for cloudy nights." A Wkstkiin editor recently publish ed this remarkablo statement: "Tho poem which wo publish in tills week' Herald was written by an esteemed friend, who has lain many years In tho gravo for Ills own amusement." "A little moro animation, my dear," whispered Lady B to tho gen- tlo Siihan who was walking through a qundrlllo. "Bo leavo mo to maim my own business, mamma," replied tho provident nymph, '"l shall not danco my ringlets out of curl for a married man." " Of course not, my lovo, but I was notawurc who your partner was." JOS. It I EG EL & II. S.
