Teachers Pension
Cost to the State,

Up to the present time leg applications
for teachers pensions in accordance with
the law passed at the last session of the
Legislature have been received at the
office of the State superintendent of pub
lie schools and of this number Ill have
been approved and certificates have been
issued emitting the applicants to the
pensions. OF the number approved, % are
drawing pensions of $3.50 per year; two.
$500 per year; one at $3.50 per year; 80, s125
per year: %. 500 per year; and 10. SIS per
year.
The law establishing the pension sys-
tenn for teachers was Chapter 10 of the
Public Laws of 1918 and was entitled AN
act to increase the efficiency of the pub
lie schools by retiring teachers of long
service with pensions This law, which
went into effect on the first of last Octo-
Der, provides for two classes of pensions,
one for teachers who were active up to
and including the school year of 1918, and
the other for teachers who had already
retired before the school year ending 1913
Teachers of the first class draw a maxi
mum pension of $3.50 per annum, which is
paid if they have served at least So years
If they have served less than 50 years
and more than 80 years, they will receive
$500 per annum. If they have served less
than 80 Years and more than Is years they
will receive a pension of $3.50 per annum.
Teachers who had already retired will re-
ceive one-half the amount received by
those who were actively at work at the
close of the year 1913.
The pensions thus far granted call for
total annual payments of si4959.
Many applicants have been able to file
complete record by means of teaching
certificates which they have received.
while others have been more or less de-
pendent upon the town records
In many instances the town records
have been found to be incomplete and in
such cases statements of former pupils
and associates have been taken. Some OF
the papers submitted as evidence date
back to the time of the Civil war and
many of them bear revenue stamps.
Leads in Service.
Miss Mary Stackpole of Portland leads
in the length of service, having taught
for SO years, all of which was in the city
of Portland. She was born in 1910, began
teaching in 1860 at the age of 20 years and
retired in 1918, at the age of 73 years.

Maine Should Raise
Sheep Says Kendall.

Portland, Me-, Feb. e.--Inasmuch
as statistics show shortage of
100000 sheep In the last four
years A. G.. clifford Of Bowdoinhann,
herder on the sheep farms of w. B..
Kendall of that town, insisted, at the
Portland Farmers Club, Wednesday
evening, that sheep have been too
long neglected in Maine.
Mr.. Clifford was the chief speaker.
He deprecated the fact that the State
has done so little to foster sheep
breeding. Maine is adapted to this
branch of farming. Vast waste land
can be used for 1t. Sheep are profit
able through the sale of wool and NUT
ton and they also clear the land Of
weeds and bushes. Sheep require lit
tie attention save at such times of year
when the farmer has time to spare
for them.
One shot was aimed at the Univer-
sity of Maine, in that Mr.. Clifford
frankly criticized that institution
was behind in their sheep depart
ment" and their specimens Of sheep
that"
AS for the care of sheep he said
they needed to be kept dry and away
from drafts, but that neither cold nor
heat bothered them much. Plenty of
exercise and good food are essential,
also good bedding at night, as he had
found from his own experience.
Kindness also pays well and he even
went so far as to say that 10 per
cent. more profit came from a we'll
treated flock than from one abused
and frightened. With a start Of 10
ewes, the flock quickly becomes 100.
Sheep diseases bother little, where
there is good care. Stomach worms
are to be prevented, as they cannot
be driven out once in. To prevent
these a certain feed is used. II
scratches or indigestion affect the
flock, castor oil is the cure. In
answer to questions he said that
one man can care for 500 sheep prop
erly.
AS far as dogs bother. Mr.. Clifford
said he deemed a national law neces-
sary. He suggested that where dog
was kept with the sheep they be-
come accustomed to him and paid
little attention II strange one ap-
peared and less trouble resulted.
Trouble from dogs comes largely be-
cause the sheep run when they see
one.
He thinks herd Of 1000 sheep
about right for q man to handle,
with proper help for every 500; but
the more sheep the more profit. He
considers fresh and good ensilage a
valuable food for milking ewes and
that some OF 1t might be mixed adj
vantageously with feed for other
sheep. The Kendall sheep have free
access to all the salt they want. For
fencing a three-foot wire fence is
used. When few sheep are found
to be acrobats and likely to jump
anything, 1t Is best to dispose of
them Roots are cut as fine as pos
sible and fed the sheep.
Ewes should be sold at about six
or eight years of age. although some
are found in good shape at Is. They
should not be bred until they are on
their second year. in order to secure
improved quality.
Mr.. Kendall himself spoke briefly
on the success Of his enterprise and
commended Mr.. Clifford. He is win
tering 500 sheep this season.

Success Of Apple School,

State Horticulturist A. K. Gardner at
the State Department of Agriculture
Friday morning was very enthusiastic
over the apple packing school held this
week at East Hebron. According to
his account, there was a large at
tendance each day, the number in the
school reaching So on Wednesday. A
similar school was held in that place
last year. SO that the members of the
school this week were well advanced
in the art Of packing and did excellent
work. The last forenoon of the school
was devoted to an apple packing con-
test. Mr.. Badger was high man with
94A points, and Mrs. Walter Conant
held second place with "a points to her
credit. Considering the condition Of
the fruit this was an excellent show
ing.
This is one Of the most enthusiastic
fruit growing sections in the State.
The growers are wide awake and have
thorough appreciation of the prob
lens which they will meet In the flu
ture and are meeting at the present
time. Two associations were repre-
sented at the meeting. the Oxford
Bears Fruit Growers Association of
Hebron and the Indian Head Associa-
ton Of Hebron. The latter organiza-
ton organized last fall is showing up
finely and promises in time to be as
we'll known as its. older neighbor.
An apple packing school will be held
at Skowhegan, Tuesday Wednesday
and Thursday of next week, under the
direction of State Horticulturist A. K.
Gardner and his assistant, H. P.
Sweetser, and Major e. E. Philbrook,
field agent Of the Department of Agri-
culture. ~
