Now whats
The Engle Sanitary & Cremation Co.,
has decided to take down and remove the
cremstory erected so near the western
border Of the city as to be very obnoxious
to the residents of the eastern part of
Rock Island. Tie decision on the part
OF the company to remove the crematory
was the result, says the Republican, of
conference between the mayor and Mr..
Smith. the compsny's rep. the
first Of the week, and at the conclusion
OF the twenty-four hours test; but before
finally determining the matter Mr.. Smith
desired to consult some of the other men,
bers OF the company. This was done,
and Mayor Vessel received official notiH-
cation IN that effect Yesterday. and Mr..
Thompson, who had remained in Moline
as a representative Of the company. has
already commenced upon the work of re.
moval. The result of the official test
was not satisfactory to the members of
the council the furnaces failing to come
up to the requirements of the contract.
This is perhaps due largely to the pecu-
liar requirements of Moline in this matter,
more than to actual defects in the furnaces
themselves. Thus the test made was
an unusually severe one The crema-
tory may be able to satisfy the de,
msnds made upon il in most cities of
the size of Moline. In msny places
there is smaller quantity Of potato

there had been more refuse hay, straw.
paper, etc, from stores, the furnace
would undoubtedly easily burn thirty
yards In twenty flour hours as called for
by the contract. The question that has
been troubling the city council of Moline
for several years is How to dispose of
kitchen garbage. slops, etc ?" and it was
for the purpose of destroying this that
the purchase of the crematory was pro-
posed
MIR. Smith and the other gentlemen of
the company have found the needs and
requirement of Moline so entirely differ
ent from those of other cities that they
were forced to admit that the furnaces
erected there were incapable of doing the
work. Larger furnaces might perhaps
accomplish the desired result, but if the
company was held to put them in it
would probably lose money on the Job

Garden on the Farm.

To open the subject we may say:
First, the garden should be near the
dwelling. so that the family can have
easy access to it; should have south
or southeastern exposure; and that
the soil be light loan and naturally
well drained. The location being a
starting and important point, the
other two requisites Of soil and drain
age, if not right by natural conditions,
must be made so by artificial means,
such as undertaking, if too wet, and
the application of woods mold or
sand, if too stiff. No trouble in cult
ure or production will follow after a
proper soil is obtained. Second, the
shape of the garden-plat should
be a parallelogram, with sides
three times longer than the ends; a
roadway through the center length
wise will be useful in hauling in and
dumping manure on either side for
convenient spreading; the planting
and cultivation in long rows parallel
to the roadway may be done by light
one-horse plows and other implements.
About one third of the ground at one
end may be devoted 10 grapes and
small fruits, and when these need cul-
ture it may be given by planting be-
tween the rows light crop, such as
bush-beans or peas. Irish potatoes
between the spaces, with their culture
and manuring, would be beneficial to
the vines and shrubs. Third, neat
and substantial Enclosure will be in
dispensable. Southern Planter.

BUSINESS RULES.

some Sound Advice Furnished by ST.
Louis Bank Teller,
Do you know that some people can
not be taught the simplest, yet most
important, rules for doing business
with bank? The strictest rules and
laws the world over appertain to money
matters and land transfers, and in
these the slightest dot of black on the
white paper is taken into account.
Some people, ! say, can not understand
this, though reminded of 1t day after
day. To help this class along and
keep them constantly reminded of the
banking rules necessary to keep a cor
rect account, book. small enough to
carry in ones pocket, has been printed,
and is being literally distributed. l
will cite three Of the rules most fire.
quently violated. The first relates to
the signature. II your name is James
I. Penman, and you sign that in the
signature-book, never sign a check
otherwise. Every young man should
adopt his signature for life and decide
whether he will sign his first name in
full or abbreviated. 1t is always best
to write the first name in full, Their
the middle or other initials and Their
the name. If this rule is adopted new
err deviate from it. The second rule
very frequently violated is in the in
dorsing of check. Should your name
be misspelled on a check see what the
error is AMI indorse it exactly to
letter. Then sign the correct sigma
ture under it. The third violation il
neglect to count money before going
TO the bank. 1t is much better not Il
deposit that day If you must run tt
the bank with pocketful of loose
money and then arrange it on The
counter in a reckless manner. How
often do you read of men being robbet
in bank by shrewd thief calling
their attention away from the none,
in front of them, while a confederate
reaches over and takes the pile. 4
strict adherence to simple rules will
save many dollars and good deal o

Bookkeeping Is different from all the
other small industries. II is all the
while novel. In the study of the honey
bee. every day presents some new phase
some new problem for solution, to
entertain and instruct.
The wide-awake bee-keeper is fully
alive to the Importance Of the work
required in the apiary. As soon
as the bees commence to gather
pollen, the queens are stimulat-
ed to the production of eggs, and
brood-rearing goes on with vigor II
the colonies are strong. with plenty
of bees and stores. In the elabora-
ton OF the food for the larvae, great
quantities OF both honey and pollen
are used up. and unless the colony has
on hand sufficient honey to last till
they can gather from natural sources,
the colony is destined to perish. What
bloom there is in February yields but
little honey; and most frequently at
this time the weather is too inclement
for the bees to stir.
| All colonies should be examined this
month, to see their condition. The
bottom boards of the hives should be
kept clean; for in the debris of wax
and dirt there are plenty Of eggs of the
bee-moth to hatch and develop into
destructive larvae. If you find any
deficient in store they must be fed.
To ten pounds of granulated sugar add
a gallon and half of water. and ag-
itate the mixture until all the sugar is
dissolved. Feed pint or a quart at a
time, or as much as the bees will take
up. If the weather is cold, the feed
must be placed Immediately over the
cluster, in q feeder that will allow
them to crawl to the feed without q
loss of heat.
If the weather is mild and the bees
can fly, it is more convenient to place
it in feeder that can be attached tt
the outside of the hive, and at The
same time admit of the bees crawling
to the feed from the inside. With thi
style of feeder there is no danger o
robbing, and it obviates all necessit.
of opening hives, removing covers
etc.
After you commence to feed, keep |
up until they have stored a sufficien
quantity to last till they can gathe
from natural sources. With bees
poverty freezes the genial currents 0
the SOUL" pretty much the same as |
does with humans. When colony @
bees feel themselves rich and abov
want, they work with vim, bree
rapidly, and generally throw earl
swarms. These are the only kind @
colonies that enrich the bee-keeper an
make his profits. When colony is to
weak to be built up into strong on
in time for the honey-harvest, it ha
better be united with some other wea
one.
Provide yourselves with empty hives
frames. sections and foundations, etc
before the time you want to use then
II you "take time by the forelock,"
may save you bees, and will save you
temper and stop you thinking profal

Spring Management of Strawberries.

Work on the strawberry bed should
commence before the plants begin to
grow. The sooner the manure is
spread over the plants The quicker will
be its effects after spring sets in. There
are several reasons for giving a good
coating of manure, one being to supply
plant food and the other to protect the
vines If this is done early no damage
will be caused to the plants, but if it
is delayed until the plants begin to
grow it is often the case that where
the manure is very concentrated, such
as the droppings from poultry, the
plants will be killed.
A mulch or covering should consist
of manure, as it will be a saving of
labor, and the plants will get the bene-
fit of the matter dissolved by the rains.
The covering is not intended to keep
the plants warm, as that is impossible,
but to prevent the ground from warm
ing too early or too suddenly. It is
just as important to mulch in those
sections where the climate is mild as
it is to do so where the winters are
severe, owing to the alternate freezing
and thawing of the ground. If the
ground is frozen it can be partially
kept in that condition by the mulch,
which prevents the plants from being
thrown up out of the soil, and also
from beginning growth too early in the
season. In this section the winter is
seldom very cold previous to January,
and the necessity for mulch is great
err in mild winter than at any other
time, owing to the liability of the
plants to begin to grow too early.
Except in the middle of the row the
strawberry bed needs no cultivation
unless the plants are grown in single
stools, but to facilitate picking the crop,
all weeds that may appear should be
pulled out by hand as soon as possible.
Every weed that is allowed to remain
robs the plants and loosens the crop.
Wood ashes are excellent for strawber-
ries, but if commercial fertilizers are
used. high grade salts of potash, and
at least two bags of superphosphate per
acre, will be the best form. and it
should be applied early in the season,
first raking off the mulch and break
ing all Jumps of the manure. so as to
have all the substance as fine as posi-
BILE. If there is liability of dry wealth
err which is injurious to Strawberries,
the use of chopped salt hay around the
single stool plants will be of advant-
age. All fertilizers should be evenly
distributed, and may be used literally.
