INSURANCE RATE GOES UP.
The Steel Hay Tracks in the Roofs
of Barns Draw Light
ming

According to Secretary w. E. Carpen-
ter OF the Monitor Insurance Co, Oak
land county, the rate of assessment in
that company this year will be the high
est in its history. Up to date there have
been sufficient losses to guarantee a rate
OF SO % per 81 900 insurance. The Off
GERS hope the rate will not exceed the 81
mark.
Since July % directors of the company
have adjusted losses on 10 barns which
were struck by lightning. In eight short
days in July 10 barns were struck by
lightning, entailing a loss of $4,000.
The secretary points out that with all
the loss from barns by lightning not a
house has been struck. In every one of
the barns struck and burned was steel
hay track attached to the roof, on which
hay cars were operated. Metal weather
vanes were also on the cupolas of some
OF the barns.

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
MUST OBEY A LAW
Officials May hold Up Primary
Money in Many Of the
School Districts.
BONDS WILL NOW Be REQUIRED
Must Be Sufficient to Protect the
Fund Discussed to Schools
in November.

Those school districts that have not
complied with the school laws of the
state are likely to have some difficulty
in securing their allotment of the big
primary school fund.- according to the
plans of the state department of public
instruction.
1t is notorious fact that in a large
number of districts of the state school
officers do not comply with the school
laws. Money is often borrowed without
authority, school officers do not furnish
the bonds required by law and little at
tention is paid to other important pro-
visions OF law.
In order to ascertain to what extent
the school laws are being complied with,
the department of public instruction has
been sending out blanks this week to
the directors of every school district in
the state with statement that answers
must be given If the districts are to par
ticipate in the allotment of the primary
funds. The questions cover a number
of subjects, and are intended to reveal
whether the laws of the state are being
observed by school officers.
In some districts, it has been found
already, bonds have not been given by
district officers, and the state authorities
do not propose to entrust the primary
money, especially in view of the large
sum to be distributed, to school officers
who have not furnished satisfactory
bonds. Bonds in sufficient amount to
protect the districts will be required or
the money will not be distributed.

TOLEDO BLADE, TOLEDO, OHIO
The Best Known Newspaper in
United States -Circulation
1876, 900.

In many respects the Toledo Blade is
the most remarkable weekly newspaper
published in the United States. 1t is
the only newspaper especially edited for
national circulation. 1t has had the
largest circulation for more years than
any newspaper printed in America.
Furthermore, it is the cheapest news
paper in the world, as will be explained
to any person who will write US for
terms. The news of the world so ar
ranged that busy people can more easily
comprehend than by reading cumber-
some columns of dailies. All current
topics made plain in each issue by
special editorial matter written from in
ception down to date. The only paper
published especially for people who do
or do not read daily newspapers, and yet
thirst for plain facts. That this kind Of
a newspaper is popular is proven by the
fact that the Weekly Blade now has over
$4,000 yearly subscribers, and is circu-
lated in all parts of the U. 5. In addi-
ton to the news the Blade publishes
short and serial stories, and many de-
partments of matter suited to every
member of the family. Only one dollar

"Red" brought it on himself, and really
from the way he has disported himself
on the diamond he should consider it
but an accident that he has not been
called long since. It's Just what he de-
serves and no tears of sympathy are
being shed in this quarter. Fact is,
we're all joyful, joyful to the extent OF
exuberance. Reds" doings have Gov
cred him with glory and incidentally
aided him to an enviable position in the
base ball world.
Herewith is appended the tale as it
might appear without any trimmings;
Arrangements were completed last
week for the transfer OF Wade Killefer
who has been acting on sack 2 for the
Kalamazoo White Sox, and he reports
this week for duty with the Detroit
Tigers. he would have been turned
over earlier, but the Kalamazoo club,
which has been pretty sweet on Reds
chances, did not wish him to go to De
troit until he was on edge. He strained
his back some time since, and has been
rounding to rather slowly. To aid him
he was played in the outfield several
games Despite his lameness his hitting
proclivities had not lessened in effect
iveness. He's good as new now.

THE OLD HENS.
Careless Selling Of Poultry Of Fine
Breed Robs the Farmer of His
Rightful Profits.

On many farms at this time Of the
year there are found quite a number
OF surplus males and females thar
possess pure blood, but which cannot
be sold TO fanciers, for various rea-
sons. These may have been prize
winners at an earlier period in life, but
On account OF approaching end and con-
sequent fading beauty, they have lost
out and have become the victims of the
intense commercialism with which this
age is charged. These birds find their
way Into the huckster wagon at COM
mercial rates and day or two later they
may be found In the midst of struggling
surglng mass Of everything that the
reatnered vocabulary has a name for.
About that time some farmer, and so far
as that Is concerned. once in awhile a
fancier will happen that way when his
eye will be caught instanter BY the an
pearance Of any such specimens. He be.
comes interested right away and goes
alter such specimens as pleases his
fancy and one by one examines every
section OF the bird, ending by purchasing
ot said huckster the blooded bird at the
eommonest kind Of a price he can lew
the huckster down 10. Then he takes III.

THE HORSE BEAN,
Favorite English Rotation Crop That
Is Worth Trying Here.

The horse bean is not a market
crop; 1t is therefore not a money, nor
even a direct paying crop, at present
in Scotland, England (Kent), Holland
or Germany, simply because there is
no demand for it.
However, as a grand rotation crop,
Its value is not enough appreciated,
because 1t stands a very heavy appli.
cation of fresh dung without laying
down. 1t is first-class crop to pre-.
cede summer or winter grain wheat
or barley, and Is especially valuable
In making new pastures or hay lands.
Further, it leaves the soil in an almost
ideal physical condition-moist, free of
weeds, mellow, loose-and its prod.
ucts are valuable as a feed.
The horse bean is a slow grower,
and needs 81 to 2S weeks generally
26 weeks to mature; it has a stout
root system. 1t therefore requires a
long season and deep soil. 1t must
clear the field before September 7

Clean Yards for Swine.

Many of the hog yards found abo,,
the country reek with filth. II swine
are to be kept healthy they should
be given clean yards. The hog Is not
by nature a dirty animal, even IL be
does wallow in mud. It is doubtful II
hog cholera would get a start If the
hog quarters were never allowed TO
become filthy. Many and many a
farmer has had his hogs become sick
merely from the condition of the hog
yard. When the rains fall such Yards
are a mass Of mud, and when the
weather becomes dry they are filed
with fine dust, which gets into the
lungs of the animals and causes
symptoms similar to pneumonia and
to hog cholera. II Is possible on most
farms to have several hog yards. and
to keep the animals in one yard for
but q short time. Such an arrange.
ment Is a most satisfactory one.

OUTLINE OF SOD CHICKEN HOUSE

walls have settled, or the plaster will
crack and fall of.
One house Of this description which
has given entire satisfaction for several
years. is built 14x20 feet, with three-foot
walls. Walls of this thickness seldom
settle crooked, while narrower ones
often lean so much as to make propping
necessary. The house has four win
dows with frames set within one foot Of
the outer edge. This leaves space enough

plastered and the hard dirt floor COW

roots which are so characteristic of the
