PENSION MEASURE CRITICISED
Police and Firemen Object to Many
of It's Clauses.
Manner. II Proposes, TO Create Fund
and Plan of Distributton Not
Satisfactory 10 All.

Although the police pension bill. re-
Gently introduced, has the sanction Of
the Commissioners, Maj Sylvester. and
Fire Chief Wagner. there are members
OF the police and fire departments who
do not hesitate 20 criticise II.
The bill provides that the fund shall
be known as the policeman and fireman's
.ReIief F'aHd, and ShafF Tor establish this
fund, al fnes iInposed supen tAe gnembers
OF the police and FIRE departments, to-
gether with all rewards. gifts. and emol
uments, except such as the Commission
ers may allow to be retained by those
receiving them for extraordinary serv-
ices, all money received from the sale
Of lost and unclaimed articles. and ~
per cent OF the salaries OF the men OF
both departments and the fines collected
by the police, shall be turned into the
general fund.
The amounts OF the pensions range
from $3.50 month for the chief engineer
of the FIRE department and the superin-
tendent OF police To $50 a month for pri-
Yates in either OF the departments. The
widows and orphans of privates and
others are also provided for.
Some Of the terms of the bill that have
been severely criticised by the men IN
the ranks-who, after all, are the ones
that the bill affects more than the others
are those relating to the power OF the
Commissioners to override the retiring
board. the granting of a pension to q
man who has been. twenty five years in
the service when he reaches the age o.
sixty years (thus excluding those who
have served twenty-five years. but are
not yet sixty years Odd. and the right "a
call back into service any pensioner who
has passed the age limit for such duty
as he may be able to perform-this duty
being performed without other compensa-
ton than his pension.
This clause VIII give the Commission
ers the right to call on man for duty
In either department on q mere fraction
OF his original pay, provided. Of course
that Re is able TO perform this duty.
The retirement Is entirely optional wifi
the retiring board. as Is also the amoun-
Of the pension, thus allowing the board
to retire a man who had been in the
| service twenty-five years at double the
pay of one who had been in for a longer
| time.

The Experimental Plot.

Every farmer should have, and east
ly can have, a small experimental plot
OF ground for testing the soil and diff
ferent crops. No farmer can ever
know the highest capacity of his soil
till he has fortified q small portion
of his land very heavily with com
plete balanced mixture of fertilizers,
planted the very best of seed, and
given the crop, or crops, extra good
cultivation. Many farmers hear or
read OF 100 bushels of corn to the
acre, or several hundred dollars an
acre made in growing special crops,
and do not believe that it is possible.
They do not believe it because they
have never done half so well on their
own land, but they never put half the
amount of fertilizers. nor half as good
seed, nor half as good cultivation, to
the crops they grew. Try an acre, or
even a half acre, of ground on your
own farm this coming season and see
what results can be had from it. Be
gin now to fertilize and do not stop
till the piece of land is as fertile as
1t can well be made with at least
three different kinds of fertilizing mat.

manner, use the best seed, and give a
