The Maryland Life Insurance

Charles \. Wales, Esq, Insurance Commls-
siOncr OF Maryland, in his late report to The
Comptroller, says Of this company:
at is with feelings of State pride that we call
special attention 10 the condition of the Mary
land Life Insurance Company of Baltimore city
The class of assets held by this company, and
shown in the appendix of this report in detail,
will convince you at once of the able manage
mcnt of its financial affairs and the only regret
to he expressed is the neglect to extend and en-
large the working territory of the company, 1t
being almost exclusively confined to our own
State limits: this regret is the more to be eX-
perienced when it is considered that the only
argument necessary to present, beyond the linz
its of Maryland, to insure its unbounded sue
cess, is its financial standing and management
as exhibited to this department. An examlna-
ton Of this table will show this company to
possess "A surplus of assets over liabilities OF
twenty-siX per cent. which is far in excess OF
the surplus held by either the Mutual or Equit-
able Life Insurance Companies of New York,

Better Farming.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
furnishes the following:
Ny text is better farming. Ny
brother farmers will say, why not ad-
vocate good farming? First, because
I wish to advocate what is practically
within the reach of every farmer, no
matter what his situation. He need
not wait until next month or another
year, or for more means, or something
to turn up-but may commence to-day
to farm better. Good farming gener-
ally is in the far distant future; it is
work Of years. We need not give
ourselves any trouble about good farm
ing; if we only persist in better farm
ing we shall arrive most certainly at
that in time.
One great reason why We do not have
better farming is because farmers are
satisfied with measuring themselves by
themselves, and comparing themselves
among their neighbors; they do not 60
forward. ! should like to write what
would make farmers dissatisfied, not
with farming, but with the manner in
which they are farming. A farmer
who is satisfied is of no benefit to the
farming community by his example.
When a man is satisfied we need not
look for improvement. [ would say for
the encouragement of those who desire
to become good farmers that improve
ment is the only way to attain to the
high position Of good farmers. 10
those who do not | have nothing to say,
as they are not worth talking to as far
mers; they may be as good men as there
are in the world, but as, farmers they
are of no good to the cause. q
Iwish to tell my brother farmers that
theirs is no mean calling, but a high
one and worthy of as good talent as
there is in the land. Then let our
motto be 'farm better and 60 forward, =
that others seeing our good works may
become dissatisfied with present at
tainments and be stimulated with a de-
sire for Improvement" | am not a
good farmer myself, but | wish to be-
come one. There are weeds to kill,
draining to be done, stones to be made
into wall; might have better sheep,
better COWS, better horses, take better
care of them, feed them better. Above
all, if you wish to farm better do not
let your farm thinking to get some one
else to do it for you; you will certain
ly be disappointed.

ampton special says The fourth
night since the Mill river disaster
was spent by the survivors in safe
ty and comparative comfort. They
have received altogether, from va
rious sources, to date $6,891. This,
though liberal sum to have been

very far below what is needed,

only, but until their future is de
cided upon. This morning 1,500
men came from different places to
work in the valley. Many were
from towns adjoining and Spring

from thss neighborhood and those
from the latter were employed by
the authorities of Springfield and
supervised by the superintendent
of streets in that place. Several of

AN INTERESTING QUESTION:
There is already little dissention
among the Changers. Some of
"the embattled farmers want to
know where all the money goes
which is paid into the Grange
treasures. There are $4,000 Gran
ges, it is urged, in existence, with
an average of fifty members each,
and $2,5O0,O0O, it is estimated, have
been paid in initiation fees and
dues. "What has become of all
this cash /? Who is enrfching him.
self by his grangership ?" are ques-
tions which the curious are begin
ming to ask. 1t is not point upon
which we can give any informa-
ton. Perhaps the estimates are
too high and possibly the Oranges
are too much like supper-clubs.
