HOME INSURANCE OOMPANY.-Elsewhe
will be found the third quarterly statement Of
this Company.
Its success has been remarkable. Starting
only last April, it has already issued $50 poll
cies, being at least three times greater than
any company, perhaps, ever attained to before,
in such q short time. This shows the desire of
the people of the State to encourage and sus-
tain home insurance company of ability, con-
Quoted on safe principles, and managed by
trustworthy men. Such the Home" of St.
Paul is, NEST assuredly, or 1t would never have
been SO freely patronized by the people OF Min
nesota, who are not apt to touch any institu-
ton unless they know it to be sound.
The books of the Home, Its rules and regula-
tons of business, It's reports and assets, have
been frequently examined during the past few
months in the most rigid manner by different
gentlemen from various parts of the State, and
selves pleased and satisfied with the company
and Its operations. Mr.. Kendall, the able Be-
cretary of the "Home," will be happy at any
time to have persons examine the books of the
company.
The report referred to shows that the amount
OF cash premiums received Is $27, 215, while
the premium notes received, Is only $9, 866,
not much more than one-third Of the former.
The total amount of property insured is e.
I'll 1888. During the nine months fifteen losses
have been met, and every one promptly i'd
justed.
No one can examine the very careful and
safe modes Of insuring and regulations there
for, of the Homo, without feeling confidence
in its safety and ability. It Is managed by men
with whom Insurance Is science and q bust
ness, and who know the principles that under-
lie it. It's name, too, should Introduce 1t to
patronage Let no more millions be sent East
to build up the fortunes Of stockholders in
companies there, but used to encourage home
companies and enrich our own State and each
other.

FLAX MANUFACToRY.-Not all Of our read
ers are aware that we have in this county q
factory for the preparation of raw fax for
manufacture into fax-cotton. Messrs. Sears
Il Bostwick have converted the old Herring
ton Mill property in Middlebury, into fac
tory of this kind. They have fitted it up with
improved machinery, and are doing much to
develop the resources of the county. We
learn that they have harvested about 100
acres of fax this season, and have work
enough to employ some dozen or fifteen hands
until spring. These gentlemen deserve to
meet with very great encouragement from our
farmers. Why not earn reputation for fax
culture as enyiable as that we are gaining for
butter and cheese and fruit ?-Tioga Agitator.
