1t was not generally known at the
time, but about a year ago a gentleman
from Jaysburg, named Alanson G..
Meltz, opened law office in Chicago,
Intending to give that city style Of
clear-cut counseling, soliciting, con-
veyancing, prosecuting and defending,
such as she had never witnessed before.
He was young, but he was full of con-
fdence, and as he pulled the nails out
of the dry-goods boxes. in which he
had brought his revised statutes and
replevin appliances, he felt ready and
wiling to furnish advice at living rates
to all who who would come and ex-
anime his stock.
But time kept on his remorseless
Hight. bringing in at the easement of Mr.
Meltz the roar and hum of traffic and
the nut-brown flavor of the Chicago
river, but that was all. He was there,
ready and almost eager to advise one
and all, but one and all, without ex-
ception, evaded him. No matter how
gayly he lettered his window with the
announcement that he would procure
y divorce for any one without pain,
married people continued to suffer on
or go elsewhere. Even though he had
put up a transparency:

Bonds and Mortgages FIRST lens,) and United
States and New York State Stocks and Bonds, in
compliance with the laws of the State of New
Sd. Its assets consist of class of securities de-
sirable and profitable for an individual to have
and to hold. None of the premiums of its menu
bers nor any of the funds of the Company, have
been imperiled or sacrificed by unwise purchases
of questionable securities, such as Manufacture
ing Companies Stocks, Railroad stocks and
Bonds, Bank and Fire Insurance Co.'S Stocks or
loans upon mere personal security.
The losses In Railroad securities alone, by sew
eral Life Insurance Companies, of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, is fact which attests the
wisdom of THE WASHINGTON in tho choice of its
investments.
4th. Every policy by its own terms, is pro-
tected from forfeiture.
5th: The Washington, in accordance with Ar
ticle "a: of Conditions and Agreements referred
to and forming part of the policy" upon demand
made with surrender of the policy. will issue a
misunderstanding paid-up policy for the full
legal standard of the State of New York. payable
as agreed in original policy.
9th: Its policies and applications have plain
conditions making the contract simple NATTER
easily understood, and not liable to misconstruc-
ton; There are no hooks upon which to hang
doubt whether the insurer had provided for his
heirs legacy or law suit.
TIN. Its policy holders have insurance at cost,
annually. This Company has never passed div
idend.
9Th. Its dividends are made annually. and paid
at the end of the first and every succeeding poll
cy year.
9th. Its dividends may increase the amount of
insurance, or diminish the premium at the option
of the insured.
10th. Its dividends are absolutely the property
of the policy holder Original with The Washing
tom secured by the charter of the company.
18th. The Washington Life Insurance Compa-
ny has always been managed in the interests of
Its policy holders in accordance with its charter,
which is believed to be more just and liberal to-
wards the policy holders than that of any other
company. 1t is the only company which makes
non forfeitable dividend.
Eth policy in The Washington cannot lapse
by non payment of premium so long us there is
any dividend remaining to ito credit.
18th. The Washington pays claims by death
occurring within the period protected by divi-
dends and holds its policies good, In all respects
during such period.

Does Il Pay 10 Raise Wheat ?

Upon invitation of Mr.. Edward P. Moores the

the residence of his father, Mr. John Moores last
Saturday. The active members in attendance

A committee, as usual, inspected the farm and
buildings. The committee, consisted of Messrs.
VIM. Webster, VIM. Munnikhuysen and Jas. Lee,
who reported that the appearance of the farm was
very fine, Notwithstanding the long drough. Mr..
Moores corn is clean and he will have more than
the average crop of the season. His fat cattle
weighed S25 lbs. when bought last year. aud in a
month more will weigh 1900, which is a good
showing tor cattle that have not been fed grain
Mr. Moores raised good crop of wheat. He
also has quantity of Welcome oats weighing
q lbs: to the bushel. which are remarkably fine
Mr.. Moores' hay is the only bright hay the COM
mittee had seen this year. 1t was saved without
getting any rain on it.
The topic selected for discussion was as fol-
lows:
Edward p. Moores was decidedly of the opinion
that 1t does not pay. All you can get out of the
wheat crop must be expended for labor and ferti-
lizers. On land on which 30 bushels per acre can
be raised he figured out the cost per acre as fol-
lows:

The corn ground wheat was charged with all
OF the phosphate used on it, but in the case of
the stubble field he thought only one-fourth of
the bone should be charged to the wheat CROP
lie estimated the straw to be worth more than
the cost of taxes and insurance. Farmers can
not do without cultvating wheat, If 1t were only
o. cents bushel. There is no other way of get
ting set of grass except by losing whole year.
VIM. Webster thought wheat can not be raised
at profit for less than 90 cents bushel. There
is no profit in raising 90 bushels to the acre,
which will be the average crop in Hartford this,
year, All farmers have not binders and must
cut their wheat at greater expense than Mr..
but should raise no more than will give them
straw needed for bedding. &c. A set of grass
may be got by seeding with oats
DR.. X. D. Lee said that while wheat no doubt
pays badly at present prices, it is an import
ant factor in successful rotation of crops
farmer should therefore prepare and sow his
crop OF wheat as carefully as other crops. The
price of wheat varies. Within his recollection
the same crop rose from so cents to 3d. Farmers
must therefore be prepared to gain by a rise of
wheat or lose by fall. He hoped farmers would
not abandon raising wheat, even if they knew it
to be Improbable.
4James Lee would not advise farmers to quit
sowing wheat A tenant can make money rails
ing wheat, but landlord can not for the reason
that the former does not have the fertilizers to
pay Tor and gets one-half the crop for his work
He thought Mr.. Moores' estimate for threshjnr
too high. He had 300 bushels of wheat thresh5
ed this year at 7 cents bushel and had nothing
TO do with 1T except haul it to the barn. He est-
mated that one third OF the bone applied to
wheat is consumed by the crop. At present
prices he would not break up sod for wheat, if
he could Craze cattle. wv -
VIM. Munnikhuysen was of the opinion that it
does not pay. to raise wheat. He charges crops
with all the fertilizers applied, because he puts
them on for every crop.
=, Thos Lochary said it depends very much on
the land whether wheat raising is profitable or
not. On some lands you cannot raise more than
~ bushels to the acre and on others the same
preparation and fertilizers will produce 30
bushels. The larger the field the smaller the
cost per bushel His wheat for the last 8 years
has yielded over 20 bushels per acre, on corn
