Millions In Farm Mortgage.
Western farmers have grown
rather particular about their in
debtedness. One of the common
requirements ,of the modern
mortgage is that the mortgagee
shall accept any portion of the
principal at the time of any in
terest payment. This means that
the harvesting of a good wheat
crop, or the fortunate sale of a
bunch of cattle, may wipe out the
debt, and the loan agent must
find another borrower. Howev
er, one insurance company has
$40,000,000 in Western farm
mortgage loans, and the interest
thereon is sufficient to pay all its
death losses. Another company
has '.H),00 000 in these loans,
scattered over the Mississippi
Valley. Th i larger sums are in
Illinois, with about $28,000,000;
Minnesota, with $10,000,000; Mis
sonri, $11,000,000; iowa, $10,700,
000; Ohio, $8,000,000, and lesser
amounts m a dozen other States.
It places approximately 4,000
farm-mortgage loans every year,
and has in its history loaned $25'J,
000,000 in this way, with practi
cally no loss. A report in the
Annals of the American Academy
of Science, gives the amount of
mortgages held by the life insur
ance companies at $490,632,508,
or 27.7 per cent, of the companies'
assets. This, however, includes
loans on city property as well as
those on farms. The percentage
is second only to that invested in
bonds, indicating the partiality
for this form of investment by
the most conservative of invest
ors. The insurance-company is safe
guarded in every possible way.
The interrogatories of the appli
cation cover four large pages, and
include everything from the size
of the borrower's family to the
use he proposes to make of the
money. They even inquire into
his habits and his standing in the
community; tor the well informed
investor realizes that lho best
part of his security is the person
ality of the borrower.
Thus, it happens that the insur
ance com panies ha ve few foreclos
ures aud practically no losses on
this class of investments. Of re
cent years the value of land has
increased so rapidly that every
loan, made, astheseinvestments
are, on a basis of 40 per cent, of
real value, became "gilt edged,"
and was the best possible securi
ty. From "The Farm Mortgage
of To-day," by Charles Moreau
Harger, in the American Month
ly Review of Reviews for May.

Tacket, of Alliance, Ky., t.s a year

writes: "Severe bleeding from
the lungs and a frightful cough

with the astonishing result that
after taking four bottles I was
completely restored and as time
has proven permanently cured."
