New Bumding Assocfatfon Plan.

A new plan of building association is
being agitated in some places which seems
to be meeting with much favor. The plan
is as follows: The object is to enable
worthy people to build themselves homes
on easier terms than now offered. 10 this
end members are allowed the use of loans
without security, provided they be of good
character, and their investment is approyed
by the directors. The theory is that a man
who will pay his rent will pay his dues in
the association, and the cost has been fig
ured down so closely that the payments
are about the same as rent. The initiation
fee is So for a $1,000 share, and the dues 81
aweek. After a man gets his house he
pays So a week and whatever premium he
bids to obtain the money, making the cost
of a thousand dollar property about 50 a
month. In order hat the association may
sell as much money as possible, all the
property to be acquired is mortgaged to
capitalists. By this arrangement it is pos
sible for the association to sell the use of
$1,000 every time there is $500 in the treas
ury. This plan. which is based on that of
the Home Assistance Society of Boston,
makes the investments safe for all parties.
The capitalist gets a first mortgage, the
association holds the title to all property
until the borrower has paid in enough to
secure a deed. Borrowers are kept up 10
their payments by a system of fines. If
they stop payments during the first year
they forfeit the amount. They can retire,
however, by selling their shares to others.

The statistical returns of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for Novem Der, make
the corn crop one of the largest in volume
known. Much of the crop is yet in the
stack, and it's condition and rate of yield
may be somewhat better known after gar
nerine and marketing, yet it is evident
that the product will not be less than
1000, 600, 900 bushels, or 81 bushels per
unit of population. The October condi-
ton of potatoes has only been equalled
once since 1880, and the average yield, &C.
cording to these preliminary estimates has
not been surpassed in the past ten years.
1t averages 939 bushels per acre. Hay
has made a nearly average yield and is Of
medium quality.

Another HEBREW settlement.

There are now three Russi4n Hebrew
settlements in South Jersey, started within
the year, and another will shortly be es-
tabliahed. Judge John NJ. Moore, of
Clayton, last week sold 1000 acres of land
to the trustees of the Baron Hir5ch fund,
the consideration being $37, 600. 1t lies
along the West Jersey Railroad, in Cape
May County, near the village OF Woodbine.
Judge Moore bought it ten years ago for
SIS, 900, aud during that time has taken
wood to the value Of almost tina mount
of it. Men have already started in to
clear the ground, and a large number Of
houses aud factories will be erected before
spring.
Tit settlement Of Montefi0re, near Belle
Plain, has now twenty.three houses, and
more are under way. Several large factor
les have been completed, and a dozen or
more families already settled there will
find plenty of employment this winter
manufacturing shirts and clothing for New
York wholesale houses.

Farmers on the Pacific coast are inter
ested in a discussion OF the nselessness or
usefulness of a pigs tail. One side argues
that it is as useless as the letter p in pneu-
monia. The other side asserts that the
tail indicates the exact physical condition
OF the animal. If it hangs loose, it indi-
Gates that the pig is not in condition and
that its feed should be changed. If it be
coiled tightly, it indicates contentment
and good health.
