At one of the customary school examina¬

butter upon.” 
“If I have ever used any unkind words,

take them all back.” “ Yes, I suppose you want 
to use them all over again,” was the not very 
soothing reply.

punished for being uncouth, willful and indifferent to 
Instructions or rewards, simply because they are out 
of health! An intelligent lady said ol‘a child of this

the little ones moderate doses of Hop Bitters for two 
or three weeks, the children would be alia parent 
could desire."

The First Installment 
The attention of owners of Farm Property and Residences is invited to the 
above Pyramid, showing the uniform and sure growth, during the last twenty 
of its 30 years of existence, of a fire insurance company whose charter limits its 
business to their class of property—the AGRICULTURAL INSURANCE 
COMPANY, of Watertown, N. V. The figures represent the amount set apart 
at the dates given, for the protection of POLICY HOLDERS. 
Thirty years of patient toil has made this the 
STRONGEST AND LARGEST COMPANY 
doing an exclusive Dwelling Business in the United States, and probably it is 
not equaled by any Company of its kind in the world. It now issues 
70,000 POLICIES A YEAR. 
No other like Company can show such growth and increase. 
The history of this Company proves that a large business, well scattered, 
managed with prudence, am be done with a very mall profit from each risk, and 
afford perfect security, which will grow stronger every year. 
While nine-tenths of the Mutual ” fire insurance companies, and many of 
the Stock companies, have failed on account of reckless or extravagant, man¬ 
agement, or doing too small a business,the OLD AGRICULTURAL, by economy, 
energy and prudence, has every year added a substantial amount to its Assets 
for the indemnity of its patrons, and it now occupiesa position in the confidence 
of the public second to no other company. 
From Year to Year it spreads the base of its Pyramid and gains Strength. 
Extkm't from Cii victbb- ■.Ir/Me t. This Company te formed for the purpose of insuring 
Fanners'Dwellings. Privuii* Residences. Barns and outbuildings, v illi their contents, and other 
property not more hazardous " and i- strictly confined to this class of property.
