of the first stock at $40 has drawn, in eight
years, simple interest at six per cent, $3.50,
stock dividend of $40, cash dividend of
$40, another Of So, another of $40, and is
now worth a premium of 1910; making in

saving large percentage on all goods pur-

COOPERATION.

1t is plain that as business is now done all
good and honest buyers have to pay more
than they ought to do, because Of the poor
and dishonest ones. Most people in business
have losses, and, whether they deliberately
do it or not, these losses have to be divided
among the good cash-payng- customers, or
the store-keeper would have to fail: In brief
if every person honestly paid his debts all of
'sls would get things much cheaper than we
do. Out Of this fact arises various co-opera-
tive movements, in which the shareholders
buy for cash, and share out among them
selves for cash what they buy-in this way
saving the retailers profit and the additional
percentage from the failure Of others to pay
their honestdebts. Wherever they have been
honestly managed all round they have PROV
ed excellent things for all engaged in them.
Sometimes they are attempted ola 8 slliall
scale by a few persons in a local neighbor-
hood. Some active fellow shows how much
may be saved by all getting together, and
they authorize him to buy and share. He
takes on himself all this extra labor, without
anything for his trouble, and, perhaps, in
addition has to supply one who has not the
money "just now," but will pay s'in the
morning." which never comes. In this way
most of these local efforts fail.
On larger scale they have done better.
In these cases clerk or agent is employed
at a salary, and cash, strictly cash down, is
enforced from all stockholders. So much de-
pends on honor in these cases that failure
often occurs. Still it is wonderful how sue
cessful they often are. Philadelphia there
are an immense number Of building assoca-
tions On this principle. People own their
own houses in time who could never get them
in any other way. A number get together,
subscribe u weekly sum, which must be
promptly paid, and then they borrow their
own money with which to build, paying
simply as interest what they would have to
pay as rent. Of course, the scalawag who
never intends to pay rent if he can help it.,
does not care to get into those associations.
They are made up Of honest-hearted people
who only want what they work for, and are
willing to pay for what they get, and there

large number are not even incorporated.
1t is all matter of trust with reasonable
precautions.
One bank, in district where these associa-
tons prevail, has had as much as $500, 900 a
year on deposit from them. There is not
however, much labor in affairs of this kind.
Money is simply received and paid over, the
conveyancer doing the real work to be done.
Regular store business is too intricate, and
the temptation to work for oneself, instead
of for the company, is often too great for
the agent. He either abandons the business
and starts for himself, or does worse and
ruin follows. There are, however, few

THE FARMERS GARDEN.

There ought to be a good garden on every
well kept farm. 1t is a useful appendage
and should be we'll located, convenient to
the house, and receive as much attention as
any other part of the farm. Almost any
kind Of soil common in this valley, with
deep and thorough culture and an abundant
supply of manure, will do. Successful gar
den culture is mainly dependent upon three
things-first, an unlimited supply of well
rotted manure, and the thorough prepara-
ton of the soil before planting; second
planting at the right season ; third, thor
ough cultivation and pulverization and a
frequent stirring of the surface soil during
the period of growth of the plants. Butthe
first and most important step to be taken,
to secure a good garden, is what most farm
ers would consider an over supply of we'll
rotted manure, such as has been put in piles,
sheltered from the rain, and frequently fork
ed over to prevent what is called firefang.
From ten to twenty tons Of such manure is
often applied by gardeners to every quarter
Of an acre Of land, and is not thought by
them to be any too much.
The size of the garden must be governed
by the size Of the tamily-one acre as an av-
erage, will be small enough. A little observ-
alton and calculation will convince any
farmer that the products of q. single acre,
thoroughly cultivated, as it should be, will
actually give more profit than any other acre
on the farm according to the time and labor
expended on it. But. in order to work the
garden economically, it should be lain out
with a few roads and avenues, so as to plow
the land and till the crops as much as posi-
BILE by horse power. Diligence is the price
to be paid for a good garden, for in cultivat-
ing them it is important to begin the destruc-
ton of the weeds just after they bave sprout-
ed. We can go in with cultivator at that
time and feel like Samson, for we can slay
our thousands and ten thousands. No mat
ter if the garden contains only quarter Of
an acre, let it be laid out long and narrow,
work it by horse power as far as possible,
and do it often.
A farm without garden is something we
dislike to see. The vegetables and small
fruits which can be grown in them, promote
health, comfort and enjoyment. Think of
it, you who have been accustomed to having
q good garden, of doing without asparagus

ROSES FOR WINTER BLooMING.

In growing roses tor the window the plants
should be procured in the spring; they
should be of small size, and, as a matter of
course, should be perfectly healthy at the
start. We thus obtain a cheaper and really
better foundation for future operations than
when large plant in full bloom is procured.
The soil is an important item, and should be
composed Of thoroughly decayed sods and
surface soil, (not, however, from garden
well enriched with good old rotted manure.
mixing thosawith q little sharp sand. The
little plant should be potted into size larger
pot than the one in which it had been pre-
viously grown. Place it in a warm, sunny
window, soak it thoroughly at first with
water, and protect it from the strong light
with paper until the leaves no longer wilt.
AS soon as the weather is sufficiently
mild, plunge the pots up to the rim in a cold
frame, whitewash the glass, and attend to
the ventilation and watering every day,
regulating the same by the state of the wealth
er. Once week give them aceak solution
of manure water, and occasionally turn them
out of the pots to examine the state Of the
roots; if they are white and growing no fear
need be entertained about the tops being
green and flourishing. AS soon as there is
an abundance of fibres around the outside
of the ball of soil the plant may be shifted
into size larger pot; but always bear in
mind that one inch larger in diameter will
always be sufficient, as plants are not infre-
quently injured by giving them too large
size.
In watering, always sprinkle the foliage
well, it refreshes and inyigorates it wonder
fully. Some growers often mulch the surface
of the pots with little tan-bark, or, what
is better, rotted manure (uever use it fresh
from the stables J this tends to keep the soil
moist and cool in hot weather. As the ex-
.cessively hot weather approaches, the frame
should be made to slope to the north, and
during the middle of the day the sash should
be raised up to an angle of 45o and fastened
with short prop, but as the sun declines it
must be lowered, and closed entirely at.
sunset.
Insects, of course, will annoy the novice,
as they do the old gardener, but the green
fly is easily killed with slight fumigation
of tobacco smoke, care being taken not to
burn the foliage by allowing it to blaze, and
mildew may be driven off by busting the
foliage with flour of sulphur. Earth worms
in the soil are sometimes very annoying to
obviate this plague the pots should be sunk
in coal ashes. If at any time plant should
look sickly, and cease to grow, the best plan

DO MESTIC ECONOMY.

TO PREVENT HAIR FALLING ORA very
simple preventive is to wash the head with
salt and water, being careful not to have the
salt water too strong, as that dries the hair.
Another excellent remedy is, one ounce Of
sage, one and one-half pints ofrain water
boil twenty minutes, strain into bottle and
add tablespoonful of white CASTLE soap, cut
fine, and teaspoon not quite full of pow
dered borax shake well and when cold rub

Mrs. ABRAHAM MocH, wife Of the
well-known clothing merchant of that
name, died suddenly from paralysis
last Wednesday night. Soon after
dinner she retired to her room for
some purpose, and her absence was
so long that it attracted attention.
She was sought for and found lying
on the floor in an unconscious condi-
tion. Physicians were called in and
every thing possible done to relieve
her, but all efforts were unavailing.
She fingered on unconscious until
about three o'clock Thursday morn
ing, when she died.
Mrs. MocH was an estimable lady,
with large circle of warm and ap-
preciating friends. She leaves five
small children. The body was taken
to Cincinnati for interment. Mr..
.MoCH has the sympathy of the com
munity.
