HAD INSURANCE.

The conditions which tend to pro-
duee a good crop are the identical
conditions which tend to produce the
h~ailstorrns which sometimes ruin the
crop. Hailstorms are local in char
acter. Almost invariably they are
very narrow, and only in rare cases Is
the extreme length of the strip affect
ed very great. In any year the total
hail losses represent but an in
Intestinal fraction Of the total crop,
and so seldom is a given territory af-
fected that If the average farmer were
to lay aside each year but a very
small percentage of the value of the
crop Of hat yea as a sort IF sinking
fund upon which to draw in case of
the loss Of a crop by hail, he would
scarcely notice the very rare losses
which occur.
For various reasons this. is scarce
~ practicable. For one thing, the
loss may come before any consider
able part of the fund i. accumulated,
and in that case the movement would
have begun at the wrong end. In
these days the thrifty farmer insures
his crop against hail, in the same
manner, and for the same reasons
that he insures his buildings against
fire. There is a risk which, though
small, is appreciable. Somebody must
carry that risk. Few individuals are
so situated that they a carry the
risk safely and conveniently them
selves, hence, through mutual or stock
companies, they associate themselves
with others. and the risk is distributed
in such a manner that no single per-
son Is greatly affected by it.
The Herald has no suggestions to
offer as to the agencies through which
hail insurance should be secured. The
point is that hail insurance has come
to be recognized as one Of the neces-
stiles. All Of the firms carrying an
nouncements in this paper may be de-
pended on as reliable. And the pru-
dent farmer, whose crop promises
well at this time, cannot afford the
risk Of loss when he can protect him
self al certainly and as cheaply as can
be done now.

THIS HEIR SEEMS INPATIENT.

As the German crown prince left
behind him rot a few years ago the
impulses and responsibilities Of boy
hood. there h something rather la
borious, something obviously of de-
liberate purpose, in his fast-following
fndiscretions.
The latest, but presumably not the
last, of them IS the sending Of en-
thusIastic congratulations and COM
msndatons to the author Of a book
IN which is prophested that any day
after the opening Of spring in 1915 an
invasion Of Germany is likely by such
hordes from France and Russia az
Europe has never seen and that then
will ONE the Hateful hour for the
German empire and its allies.

his opinion Of this book that he had

HOMEOPATHY

The superiority Of homeopathic
treatment to all other systems is well
demonstrated in the results obtained
in the treatment Of sun-etroke, heat
prostration, etc. In New York there
many cases Of sun-stroke during the
summer months and the treatment,
given at the Flower Hospital, a home
opathic institution, gives results that
are far superior to the results obtain
ed at the other hospitals. The com
mo treatment consists in the appli-
cation OF ice packs and cold baths.

ture. Many cases OF shock and COL
lapse result from these measures. The
treatment, on the CON
trary, consists In the application OF
heat and hot baths and the results are
extremely satisfactory. There is no
shock or collapse. This is the logical
treatment, Just a. the treatment OF
