II Has $500 Members, Carries $4,4oo,-

a Salary of $50 a Year-Comparison
of Costs With Old Line Companies.
The Huron County (O) Farmers
Mutual Insurance company was or
gained thirty-one years ago 1t has
not always had smooth sailing, for its
losses have been large some years.
and yet only once In that time has its
annual assessment exceeded the cost
every year for protection in the old
line companies. The relative cost can
best be determined. says e. p. Snyder
in the National Stockman, by a com
parison covering a series Of years.
During the time the Huron County
tO) Mutual has been doing business
-thirty-one years-the average annual
assessment has been $296 per 81 900.
The present rate Of old line companies
for farm property is SO per 81 900 for
three years and 50 survey feel. e..
q policy OF 81 900 would cost $40, just
81 per $1,000 per year. A policy of
$4,000 would cost SD. or S3.66 % per
$1,000 rer year. A policy of $4,000
would st $50. or $3.50 so per 81 900
per year. and so on. But. no matter how
great the policy. the cost must exceed
1888 1-3 per $1,000. because that is the
cost exclusive Of survey fee.

Modes and Persians. One OF my
friends had real estate In three diff
ferent places, and at every renewal
the agent made him out three sepa-
rate policies and charged him three sur
vey fees-S6. This grew monotonous
for the farmer after a term of years.
and he suggested that the whole bust
ness be nut In one policy. "Oh. yes"
the agenl said. I'VE can do that" At
the next renewal the farmer remarked
that rather than pay any more survey
fees he would quit the company and go
into a mutual. and the agent obligingly
cut out the survey fee entirely.
The Huron County Mutual charges
50 membership fee and 10 cents per
500 for the amount insured. Insur-
ance is perpetual. AS long as a men,
Der keeps up his assessments he is
protected. Buildings are insured for
three-fourths Of their value and per-
sonal property at its full value. The
company insures against both fire and
lightning. but not against wind The
amounts paid for live stock are limited
TO 5000 for a horse. SO for cattle. $50
for hogs and 81 for sheep. Losses must
be paid within sixty days of the time

adjusted by committee of three men,

The officers are president. vice presi-

more than likely that much of the
benefit resulting from the application

well as 10 the known fertilizing ele

The northeast slope has been viewed
for many years past as the ideal site
for an orchard location. This seems to
be due to the fact that on such loca-
lions orchards are not only exposed to
the cold winds Of spring, which tend to
retard a development of blossom, bud
and leaf. but receive much less directly
the rays of the warming sun. In To-
calities where there is never danger
from spring frosts these factors are not

a recurrent danger this matter Of loca-
