that has been talked of for several years, but
no active measures have been taken in its

largely attend, and give the subject their earn
est attention. Farmers pay out large amount
of money each year for insurance, and get but
little back. We believe there has not been over
six fires in Rchland township Gowns excluded)
in the past twenty wears. On the mutual plan,
farmers would save from fifty to sixty per cent.
of their money paid out for insurance and be
more safe. The object of the association would
be to insure farm property only from fire and
other causalties. \ fee of one dollar to he
charged, constituting Il membership in the as
sociaton, and those insuring not to pay until
a fire takes place (the farmer keeping his
money!, then an assessment pro rata he made
on the apprasment of each members property.
An apprasment ought to he made every three
years, and the county records examined. To
get such Il company well started, will require
time and patience, as many of the farmers hive
policies unexpired, and it must be controlled
by men in whom the community have the ut
most confidence. FARMER.
