Other Systems Of Field Feeding

a feed rack like that shown in Fig

feed from it. This n was used o.

Over Seas Study
Favored by Brazil
by Beck

Rio De Janeiro, Jan. 20 ca. P. by
MaiD-The Brazilian government
believes thoroughly in sending de-
serving art and technical students to
o,eign countries to complete theft
education, and stands ready to give
them financial aid to this end. Some
go to Europe and others to the
United States, but of recent years
the lower cost of living in Europe
has turned the tide in that direction.
The department of agriculture and
the department of industry and COM
merce each select 80 students yearly
for foreign study. a total of $50
students has been sent out by the
agricultural branch, 81 of whom
selected American colleges. The
most popular American school Is
Southern University, at Baton Rouge,
on account of the opportunities Of
fered to study the sugar cane indus
try. The University of Illinois is
second choice. and the University of
Georgia third. The department - of
industry has sent out 65 men, but
only 10 went to the United States.
Financial support is furnished for
a period of two years and steamer
passage both ways is paid.
The School of Fine Arts located in
Rio de Janeiro, gives travel prizes to
artists with exceptional ability in
painting, engraving, sculpture and
architecture. Two many go each
year, if worthy talent appears. One
is selected from work shown at the
annual tine arts exhibition and is
supported for two years, the re-
, naming prize being given to a men,
mer of the graduating class of the
School of Fine Arts, the latter, how
ever receiving an income for five
years.
Travel prizes are awarded also to
musicians of exceptional talent who
graduate at the School of Music in
Rio de Janeiro. One student is sent
each year for two years course. All
of these students have chosen Eu-
rope.
The School of Fine Arts and the
School of Music are supported by the
government.

Allege Graft in
Lewiston City Jobs

Lewiston, Me-, Feb. lin support
Of a bill now before the Legislature,
providing for Governor appointed
finance commission for Lewiston, it
was reported today that affidavits
were being prepared and would be
presented at the hearing of the bill
next Wednesday, alleging that jobs
have been bought and sold through
Lewiston politicians. 1t is under
stood that at least six ati1davits have
been made regarding the alleged
purchase of minor jobs supplied
by aldermanic committee appoint
ments, and that one will assert that
a certain candidate was offered a job
for $1,000 by one who claimed his
office had cost him $500. Much evil
dence, it is said, will be presented at
the hearing to show the need of a

Sir Daniel Hall, chief of the per-

England today. He will be advised
upon his arrival there as to plans
for a protective inspection of the
Maine product, which will do away
with any danger from the introduce

pected that these assurances will be
sufficiently satisfactory SO that the
embargo upon the Maine product
will be lifted at once.
Inspection plans were agreed upon
in Boston last Thursday by Frank p

sioner of Agriculture: DR.. A. w. Gill

Daniel Hall had been in Boston az

ton, Governor Brewster and his
Council ordered Commissioners
Washburn to hasten to Boston to
ascertain what might be done to-

the embargo.

had said that the embargo was not
