The Stato Insurance Company is em phatically a Farmer's Compnny n company organized ami controlled in tho iuteiest of the fanner, mid ono which nllbrdi the cheapest and best security ngninst loss or damage by lla1. Tho mou6y paid to this company is not used to pay looses on hazardous risks in towns and cities, as is tho case with other companies, hut while it receives its money from tho farming community, it is constantly paying it back to llioin, thus making it emphatically a homo institution devoted to tho interest of the farmers and owners of privato dwellings of tho Northwest alone.

Caro for tho Kens One of tho dilllcultics which many fanners experience with their poultry is that fowls persist in leaving their own houses, however comfoitablo and well fed they may be, and will betake them selves to tho barn, where they soon be come a nuisance around stwk. The best wav to remedy this evil is to unit it ion otT a small room in tho barn ocluivel for their use. It should be removed from horses or other stock, and the fowls should Ik- confined to their own apart ments, at least during the night. A few fowls thus kept by themselves around barns will prove very profitable, as they will eat much that would otherwise lo wasted. At tho Churn. Heating the milk slightly causes tho cream to rise nioro rapidly at this season, and this will mako tho butter come more quickly and bo of bolter quality. Much of tho inferiority of winter butter is duo to tho fact that tho cream rises slowly and a fungus forms on it before it ischurned. Stirring tho cream a little, at least onco n day, is very inportant whew only ono cow is kept and tho cream is a long time accumulating in quantity autiioieut forchurning. Unless lliis is douo tho butter will be apt to hiwoa bitter taste. Bucilen'a Arnica Salve. Tho IxMt Silve in tho world for CuU.Hruu ci, Sorv, Ulcer.
