EWALD OVER, 
The attention of owners of Farm Property and Kos- 
idences is invited to the pyramid above, which shows 
the uniform and sure growth of the A.GRICULTUK A I, 
INSURANCE COMPANY of Watertown, N. Y.. during 
sixteen of Us Sfi yean of existence. The figures repre¬ 
sent the amounts set apart at the dates given fortho 
PROTECTION OF ITS POLICY HOLDERS. 
Twenty-six years of patient toil has made this the 
strongest, and largest Company, doing an exclusive 
Dwelling Business in the united States, if not in the 
world, ft utiw (8n}u'n Jn,000 ■paUeiee a near. No other 
like Company can show such growth and Increase 
The history of tills Company proves that n I, A ROE 
business, w i ll scattered, maoiigiol with, prudence, can 
be flfinr. with a tu‘ry xnuUt iirojit fruvieatihrixk, aud 
afford perfect security, which 
Will Grow Stronger Every Year. 
While nine-tenths of the “ Mutual ” fire insurance 
companies, and many of t.ho stock companies have 
failed ou account of reckless or extrnvagant manage¬ 
ment. or doing too small a business, the 
ODD ACijKIOtJD'X’ UltAD, 
by economy, energy and prudence, has every year ad¬ 
ded a substantial amount to its Assets for the indemni¬ 
ty of its patrons, and it now occupies a positionln the 
confidence of the public second to none. 
From year to year it spreads the base of its Pyramid 
and gains strength.

Cactxon.—T he National Dispensatory says of 
Tonka Beans: “ They are usually covered with a 
•‘crystalUne effloresence or couinarln. Given to 
“ dogs In the dose ol from seven to ten grains, 
“ this substance produced great and even fatal 
“ depression; and In man in the dose of from thirty 
“to sixty grains It occasioned nausea, giddiness, 
“depression, vomiting and drowsiness.” Many 
of the spurious compounds purporting to be pure 
Extract of Vanilla are prepared principally from 
Tonka Beans. 
Housekeepers who study their Interests will de 
mand of their grocer strictly pure vanilla only, 
and refuse to accept of an adulterated compound, 
which may render the dealer a better profit. 
Harnett's Ezlrati of Vanina is prepared from 
selected vanilla beans, and Is warranted entirely 
free from Tonka or other deleterious substances. 
In the European harvest, just closed the most 
distinguished honors seem to have been awarded 
to an American Harvesting Machine—the Buck¬ 
eye. The grand Gold Medal offered by the Ag¬ 
ricultural society of France was awarded to the 
Buckeye fcolf-Blndlug Harvester. The ouly other 
American competitors for this prize were the Mc- 
Cormlck, Wood, and usborne Keif-Binders. The 
Buckeye also took the tirst prize and carried away 
the Gold Modal offered by the Royal Agricultural 
Society of Spain for Self-Binding Machines. 
Buckeye Reapers and Mowers are also distin¬ 
guished by a long list, of first prizes and medals, In 
various parts of Europe, showing at once tho thor¬ 
oughness of the Introduction and appreciation of 
this famous American machine.
