and pain-takihg they can raise their own
supplies Of bacon. DO every farm Il Is ne

horses are mostly kept IN the horse-Iot.
Now from actual experiment we know that
as many hogs can be kept 10 the lot ss there
are horses and mules 10 il aud will keep

paramount to all others, Uiz: the car
ing for the temporal necessities of those,
who, through unforeseen accident or by
lingering and fatal sickness may be
be subjected helpless, and not unfre-
quently alone, to the cold charity of
the world. How this may be done =
how those we love may be protected
when we are gone is question that
of late years has been solved to the
satisfaction Of every enquirer in the
organization Of the many excellent
Life Insurance Companies whose ag-
gregate of life risks foots up mil
lions upon millions Of dollars, and who
have agents in every hamlet in the
civilized world. Notable among the
many excellent companies whose mis-
sion it is to provide protection in case
of death, in the ST. LOUIS LIFE IN
sURANCE COMPANY, with cash and
convertible assets footing up to the
enormous sum Of S. ,406, 852. 81
This company for the year 1874 issued
1900 policies, insurins thereby the
amount of $16'633, 63S.47; and paid
during the year specified death claims
to the amount Of $3.50, 81. These
figures speak we'll for the solidiry Of
the company whose business Is increas-
ing each year and with whose increase
of business there comes naturally a
corresponding solidity OF financial
character.
The competition arising from the
organization of new companies has led
to almost innumerable plans of insur-
ance, till it is possible for one toinsure

that there are but two plans that can
be commended to the public as correct
and in every way satisfactory. Those
are, the Life Plan. and the plan which
is becoming widely popular, and which
is speciality with the st. Louis Com
pany, Uiz. /: the Renewable Term
Plan,' which gives the insured the
privilege of insuring for five years
with the opportunity Of renewing for
another five years and so on for six
successive terms increasing slightly the
annual premium to be paid.
This "plan" it appears to us to be
just, and advantageous to the insured,
and its wide popularity attests the cor
rectness of our conclusions. The
agent for the st. Louis Company is
Mr.. K. Williams, of Ripon, who is
working up the business in Wood, and
adjoining counties, meeting with very
/ excellent success. We advise all who
seek insurance to confer with Mr.. W.

as is his custom passed him upon the

such force as to stun him, falling out
OF the wagon and realizing nothing FOL
several moments. After he had slight
~ recovered he looked about him in a
