Each householder is required every day during hot weather to pii.u, the refuse of his house—the animal ana cp^~ able matter in one box, the, ashes and dry r"us^ in another—ready for the garbage carts, mese carts are built with a moveablo partition, oy which the dry and the wet are kept separate during transport to the outskirts, when a caic ful conversion of the whole to economical uses is carried on. Bones, rass. scraps or PWei when sorted, yield a handsome pront. wi" boots, shoes, roasted or reduced to Pow ""* and used in the case-hardening or irou and coal and cinders arc valuable as fuel, oi m the mending of roads. Cess-pools are empnea by a pneumatic suction system, which nutigau-H tho offensiveness of the operation: the contents are mixed with ashes, and arc therefore ens oderized in fifteen minutes, and this iln^.™;° meets with a ready sale as a fertiliser, at i1"^" or twenty dollars a ton.
