Crop and Market Notes — Continued. 
The annual meeting of the Mutual Cheese Fac¬ 
tory and Creamery Insurance Company, of St. 
Lawrence, Lewis and Jefferson Counties, N. Y., 
was held in Ogdensburg, January 7. The com¬ 
pany was organizeddast May, and has had but one 
loss, necessitating an assessment of $3.90 per 
$1,000 of insurance. 
It is said that $50,000 more came in to the Chau¬ 
tauqua region for grapes last year, than during 
the previous year, though the crop was consider¬ 
ably less. This shows that a surplus is danger¬ 
ous. The growers also made a gain because they 
did not have to buy baskets for, and pay for 
handling, the extra grapes which would have 
been produced but for the frost. 
Receipts of live poultry by car-loads for the 
past five years, are as follows :

The increase in recent

is larger 
than 
ap-

cars have been used, and these contain nearly, if 
not quite, twice as much as the old-time cars. 
The fourth annual meeting of the National 
Butter and Cheesemakers’ Association, will be 
held at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during the last week 
of February. A working creamery using 5,000 
pounds of milk daily, will be in operation, and all 
of the different and latest patterns of butter and 
cheesemaking machinery, as well as refrigerat¬ 
ing and other kinds of apparatus allied to the 
trade. Processes will be described, and illus-

CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE. 
Windham County, Vt.—I plowed December 25, 
26 and 28, and January 1, laid about 450 feet 
of 10-incli tile and about 250 feet of eight-inch. I 
have also been taking out stumps. Tills is quite 
a novelty for the last of December and first of 
January, here in Vermont. a. a. h. 
Virginia Mutual Insurance.— We have two 
mutual fire insurance companies in this locality. 
One, the Independent Mutual, started with head¬ 
quarters in Alexandria, 28 years ago, now has 
about $4,000,000 worth of property insured, and 
the assessments have averaged less than $2.50 
per 1,000 per year. 
The Falls Church Mutual started six years ago, 
and has nearly $2,000,000 worth of property in¬ 
sured; the assessments have averaged $2.25 per 
1,000 per year. 
These companies have more or less property in¬ 
sured in Washington, D. C., Alexandria, Va., 
Leesburg, Va., Falls Church and other towns, 
and the city property has proved much the safer, 
the losses in cities and towns having been very 
light. Insurance by the mutual plan is much 
cheaper than can be given by the stock com¬ 
panies, and the expense will not average half so 
much. Mutual companies, as a rule, employ no 
agents, the directors effecting the insurance, and, 
being interested, are very particular about the 
character of risks taken. d. o. m.
