People complain Of high taxes, but the most
outrageous tax we have TO submit 10 Is that for
insurance. Since the opening Of Shaw's indie

Block, some relief has been afforded in this re
spcct, rs he insures in good stock companies Mt
about two-thiris the rates charged at other

COLLECTING MANURE.

Every shovclful Of manure that can
be collected about the barn yard should
be applied to the soil ia the field, o.
chard or garden. A thorough clean
ing up Of the stable, byres, sheep sheds,
hog pens aud poultry houses will re-
veal some manurial substance which
has been "wasting its sweetness" on the
cir in the immediate vicinity Ct the
homestead. The removal of Ill decay
ing substances will purify the atmos-
phere around the house, and their ap-
plication to the soil will be beneficial
to the crops. When the harvesting Of
the cereal crops is completed, muck
should be. drawn out Of the swamps and
piled for seasoning in some place where
it will be accessible at all times. A
thick layer of muck makes an excellent
foundation for heap Of barn yard man.
ure. A compost of muck, mari and
barn yard manure applied as a top
dressing to old meadows will haze a
most beneficial effect. These substances
are useful when applied separately, but
are trebly powerful when combined.
