3. That even the moderate payments, directed by Article I. are suspended by Article IV. as soon as a moderate per centage is raised upon the aggregate value of the Cows admitted; the object of the Institution being simply to provide against the probable contingences of the next six months, as a new call for contributions to supply deficiences, may always be made upon the next ensuing pay-day. This is abundantly effected by three per cent.; which, if the full value were paid on the death of a cow, would cover the loss of one in thirty-three; but by the present arrangement of paying only five-sixths, will over the loss of one in twenty-eight. It is obvious that, tho primarily intended for the benefit of cottagers, this Institution admits farmers and other opulent proprietors of cows to insure them; as there is nothing, in its composition, of an eleemosynary nature. 5th June, 1807.
