Pension System for Widows a Success

then presiding over the juvenile court,
philanthropic persons formed a volun-
tary association and boys of school
age compelled to work were paid a
certain amount Of money, according to
the needs Of the family, in place OF
the money they were earning, on con-
dition that they attended school regu-
larly.
Many sensitive women hesitated to
accept this form of charity, and at first
there were few applications for such
pensions. Last winter, however, law
was passed by the legislature provid-
Ing that the county clerk establish a
pension bureau. the pensions to be
paid from county funds In such
amount as the juvenile court found
necessary.
The law provides that widow may
be paid not to exceed $40 a month for
one child to enable that child to at
tend school,; if she has more than one
child, not to exceed IS month for
each additional child. The yearly ex-
penditure must not exceed $4,000.
The idea of the law is to keep the
family together under home influ'
ence.

is to ascertain If the sows on alfalfa
ration produce better or more healthy
pigs than those fed on grain, and
which is the cheaper at the usual
price of feed.
Vetch hay clover hay, or kale may
be used in the same manner as al
falfa, and it is recommended that
all of the farmers of the state try
this experiment, using the feed most
available in their locality. The ex-
pertinent should not be attempted for
few days or weeks only, as the
results obtained in so short a time
will not be reliable. 1t is far better
to continue the feed system for sew
eral years.
If it is not possible to divide the
herd into two lots, fairly good test
of hay feeding may be made by feed
ing all of the sOws on hay and COM
pairing the results with those of pre-
vious years. In any case it is neces-
sary to keep a record of the amount
of hay used.

FARMING is FOUNDATION.
Says City Schools Should All Teach
Agriculture.


Agriculture.
Spokane.-"An agricultural school
or an experiment station should be
established in the outskirts of every
large city in the United States" de-
clares r. j. Maclean, secretary of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce.
He believes this would. in a meas
ure, solve the cost of high living and
would direct attention to the pro-
duction of basic resources. Continu-
ing, he said
Il do not agree with the president
of the Washington Educational AS,
sociation when he says that more at
tention should be devoted in the
schools to commercial lines. l be-
lieve we should first devote our at
tention to education in agriculture
and mining. These are the pursuits
from which all wealth emanates and
on which all other pursuits are de-
pendent. Increase activity in these
lines and you, perforce, must in
crease activity in commercial and
all other lines.
IF the schools teach agriculture,
agriculture will become more popu-
lar. We will then have more farm
ers, and naturally more production
and more valuable resources.
IF | had my way about it there
would be an agricultural school or
an experiment station in the out
skirts of every large city to educate
young men in things pertaining to
the farm. The difficulty now is that
the city man who wants to learn
something of agriculture must usu-
ally go long distance away, entail
ing great expense. In the large
cities there are thousands of people
who merely exc out an existence.
How much better they would be if
they were on farms.
The country boy who comes to
the city for the first time is very
green with respect to city ways. But
there is nothing greener than the
city boy on farm for the first time
Our city people do not know enough
about farming, and if they knew more
we would be able to solve, in a
measure, the high living cost"
