The Stato Insurance Company is em

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. All policies of

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.
