Border City Star gives,' voice world of truth when it says: • city dwellers who imagine the fernier's life is one continuoue round of pleasure and prosperity, might give ear to Mr. S. B. Mothers announcement i that more than 3,000 porkers have been destroyed in Essex County during the last few weeks in the effort to stamp out hog cholera. This represents a lose to the breeders of approximately $50,000. Con- sider the losses that the farmers have sustained in recent years from other sources; from the corn barer, for instance, from early frosts and from the col- lapse of tobacco prices. Yet, one hears few complaints from the rural districts. The farmer takes his losses philosophically and hopes for better luck the next year. At the same time, he us- ually takes steps to guard, so far as it is humanely possible, against repetition. leptio:pf e. !toy.

Aldrich and Mrs. J. Varley were in London on Saturday last -Owing to the con- tinued wet weather the farmers are finding it slow work getting the fall plowing done, but are hoping to see a fine November. While it is true there is no hog cholera in Huron, the fanners in thi-; county and every other county in thel Province have their agricultural loss- es each year. Through accident, 0 farmer may lose a good brood mare, a heifer or two or a bunch of pigs, a loss that may make the difference between profit and loss on 0 whole year's farming operations. A week's ram or a week's drouth may ruin any one of a farmer's crops which he was counting on to pay his takes or other interest charges, or to make repaies or improvements to his farm build- ings, or to fence or to drain his land The world, however, hears little or these losses. It is true that a farm- er who has his farm paid for and stocked, is the most indeirdent man on earth because no matter what the season or the market. he can provide living for himself and his and do it almost indefinitely. won't have any money for or for_ shows, for education or age -just a good healthy liv- a good family But he clothes for old ing.

We believe everyone had a most enjoyable and profitable time. With covet many would go on year after year taking a chance that their year's work would feed their family and nothing more? You wouldn't need more • than the fingers of one hand to count them. The business of farming is the most hazardous business, financially, that there is in the world. He can't roof over his land to keep out the sun nor the frost, nor the wind nor the rain when his crops are being ruined by too much of any of these things. When markets are poor he can't go • on prodtucing and storing. His crops are too perishable, neither room nor age will permit. When markets are soaring, he can't hire a few extra men or a few extra hundred and pro- duce two or three extra crops. He has but one harve.st in a year. And his a world market; he competes against world competition. His Mark- et is the last to rise in times of pros- perity and the first to drop in times of depression, yet he doesn't comptain much. He doesn't rush into print, 1Y:1 he doesn't rush a deputation to Ot- tawa, demanding the protection of his market and his alone. The city dwellers and those of the town are too prone to look upon farmers as a bunch of calamity howlers and kickers. The truth is that a farmer works harder and gets a smaller return for the capital he has invested than does a man in other industries, and the world hears less about it. When crops are poor and • markets are low, he takes his losses, and when crops are good and like- wise prices, he pockets his profits. The best of it is, he doesn't say much about either. marked with an as er : .

Judgment Against Insurance Com- pany. -A case which has aroused more than the usual amount of inter- est among the farmers of the Town- ships of Stanley and Hay, was tried at the assizes at -Goderich this week before Mr. Justice Fisher, of Toron- to. The defendants were The Hay Township Farmers' Mutual Fire In- surance Company and judgment was entered against them in favor of the plaintiff, Mr. Owen Geiger, of Hen- son, for the sum of $1,450. Last Thanksgiving Day the barn on Mr. Geiger's Tuekersraith farm was des- troyed by fire and along with it the contents, which consisted largely of hay and a quantity of (fax grown on the farm. The !Company refused to pay the loss because of the flax be- ing in the barn. Mr. Geiger claimed that as it had been grown on the place it was farm produce, which the policy was supposed to cover and sued the Company in the High Court. Dur- ing the progress of the case the judge intimated very strongly that he thought the 'Company should have set- tled the claim, remeaking that flax was a common farm product and that if the Company did not intend to in- clude it in their policies they should notify their policyholders to that ef- fect. He urged the Directors and Manager who were in court, to settle he claim, whith they did. Mr. Geiger received many congratulations from farmers in the court room who felt that he was fighting for the rights Of all the policyholders. Among Mr. Geiger's witnesses were a number of other Farmers' Companies who are taking flax as farm risks without question. The Company was defend- ed by Mr. T. J. Agar, K.C., of To- ronto, while Mr. J. G. Stanbury and Mr. M. F Gladma-n, of Exeter, acted for Mr. Geiger. Briefs. -Mrs. Wllliam Consitt and Mrs. T. J.
