Insurance of Live Stock.
We often ask the question: s.Isyour
live stock insured?"
The average owner says: Eyes.
against loss by fire.
Well, that isall right, there is a risk
that they may be burned. and you
will do well to protect yourself. but
do You know that it is the very small
est of risksa
The statistics Of a live stock insur-
anee company, covering their bust
ness in one city for FIVE years show
that in 700 losses, s were by FIRE, 6oS
from other causes. The risk is IS
times greater.
There is 20 times greater risk from
collie than from fire.
There is 5 times greater risk from
broken limbs than from fire.
There is S times greater risk from
lockjaw than from fire.
There is 8 times greater risk from
Pneumonia than from fire.
There is I6 times greater risk from
unknown causes than fire.
Larger from heart disease and dis
temper.
There is 9 times greater risk from
inflammation of the bowels than from
fire.
The same risk from runaways and
only less from drowning, bind stag
gers, and lightning.
If There is a necessity for fire insur-
ance land there is) how much greater
necessity for insurance against other
casualties to which live stock is liable.
Now, these are facts taken from ac-
tual statistics, and facts are stubborn
things.

JOHN BOYD TEACHER A WITNESS.
He Fully verihes Disputed Worlds
Fair Award.

John Boyd Thacher is laconic and
decisive in his statements. During
the lively campaign just closed in
New York, this marked him especial
ly as chairman of the Democratic
State committee. 1t Was equally
true of him as chairman of the Exec
utive committee on Awards at the
Worlds Fair. This is the positive
and sententious way in which he veri-
fies in an official letter, the honors
won by DR.. Prices Baking Powder:
81 herewith enclose you an official
copy of your Award, which in due
time will be inscribed in the diploma
and forwarded" Thus the question
respecting the award, raised by an
envious New York rival, is settled be-
yond cavil. This same rival by the
way is widely advertising an award
for itself. The official records prov
this claim wholly false as they show
the New York pretender was not SO
much as an exhibitor at the Worlds
Fair.
