We wish 10 explain 10 our patrons and
the public generally that the Virginia Mu-
tual Livestock Insurance Company guar
antees not 10 make but four assessments
per year: thev are made quarterly
Both, June 80th. September 30th, and De-
insures March %. 1889. for one year is as
-sussed his proportion for the quarter end
ing March 30th, though be has been in
only one day but mark this, his policy
expires March 20. 1890, one day before
the final quarterly assessment, On this
quarter, therefore. the company makes no
assessment, thereby standing by its guar
antec of only four assessments per year.
The reason for this Is obvious. Unpnnci-
Piled men could put the company 10 ex-
pcnse and trouble 70 collect assessment
due after the expiration OF their policies.

DYING FROM TICKS.

Plague Among Horses in Daviess County.
IndIana-Texas Ponies Charged with
Introducing the Plague.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. ga re-
markable and very disastrous plague to
stock is now raging in Daviess County,
Ind During the past few weeks num-
Der OF farmers in various parts of that
county have lost some OF their finest
horses. An investigation as to the cause
Of the strange occurrences brought to
light what seems an incredulous state OF
affairs, but has proved an absolute fact 1t
was found that ticks are actually killing
horses, which the pests attack in great
swarms, and suck the blood from the
animal until it is helpless and is re-
lieved Of its sufferings by death. Ex-
animation shows that the pests eat their
way through the hide into the flesh. 1t
is thought the ticks were brought hero
by the Texas ponies, which have been
sold here in large numbers in the past
few months. The ticks attack cows, but
do not seem to have the same effect as
on horses.
