BLUE EARTH
COUNTYFARM
Inmates There Are Quite
Contented; Most of Them
Men, and Well Along In
Years

Contentment rules the residents of
the county farm in Blue Earth county
in spite OF the terror that the expires
sion, over the Hill to the Poorhouse"
inspires among the uninitiated. At
this time there, are twenty hve con-
tented inmates in the county institu-
ton Of whom nineteen are men. Young
people at the infirmary are conspic-
uous by their absence. The aSe av-
erage this ume-iS around the eighty
mark and there are two old fellows
who have passed the ninety markI
The institution is managed by/Har-
vey G. Young who has held the posi-
ton OF superintendent for the past six
years and in addition to care OF the
inmates he is in active charge Ut
the farm management OF one hundred
and sixty acres of land comprising the
county farm. The farm is equipped
with the most modern farming ma
chinery, modern buildings and is w II
stocked with live stock of ali kinds.
How They Live
When the farm was visited yester-
day by representative OF The Free
Press the inmates were VIKING and
even eager to talk Of the life they
lead. They were unanimous in saying
that they are all well treated, are well
fed and live in satisfactory quarters.
Among the older men there is always
a game of checkers going on with five
or six spectators. No one makes a
sound and the spectators seem as alb
sorbed in the course OF play as the
players. Smoking Is permitted and
frequently INDUCED by the men.
Oftentimes entertainment for the
entire household is furnished by COM
mittees of the churches who visit the
institution with a list Of songs to be
sung and a speaker or sometimes, a
story teller and these people are al
old people.
Some Able To Work.
There are among the inmates some
who are able to do little work about
the house and 1t Is said that those
who have some small task assigned
are the ones who are most contented
One old fellow who asked that he pc
not named, takes tho utmost pride in
the Clearly condition Of the stables
and proudly exhibits their condition
ITO every visitor. He said yesterday
he can't get out to the stables at least
twice day just to see how things
are getting along. Several others who
formerly did farm work are now
helping to husk corn in the fields and
another old man who has passed The
eightieth milepost takes pride in the
task of answering the door bell and
guiding visitors through the buildings
and about the farm. ~,
All Eat Together
All inmates are fed in the common
dining room at a large table. Inc
sleeping quarters are good sized
rooms with two men assigned to one
room but each woman has room or
her own. An inspection of this insti-
tntion will convince any skeptic that
there are worse places in the world
than the poor house and even II no
one goes there from his own choice
1t is a comfortable thought to know
that there is place where one can go
Ii worst comes to worst and receive
kind treatment and good home for
the rest of natural lifetime>

for a right of way, the announcement
Of which has just been made, a most
important change in the route OF
Trunk Highway No. 6, will be made

be Of much importance to motorists

the east as has been the case for
many years.

there might be border of towering

across the end of the lot, the Shruh
border being widest in the middle.
By having a nice curve TO this border
which narrows down very much near
the corner an effect will be obtained

more pleasing than if it were d straight

1t is sometimes good plan If 1t
works in with the back of the house
TO have a strip of grass close TO the
house where the ground is raised above
the main part of the lot. so one can
sit there and look down on the gar

it will answer. Instead of breaking
the center of the garden up with
paths, it would be better to have one

these will look pleasing.-HouSeWife
