                         INSPECTION OF COUNTY POOR HOUSES.
                         
              BLUE EARTH COUNTY POOR HOUSE was visited April 21, 1892. 
            There were seven inmates; six men and one woman. The largest
            number of inmates at one time during the year was 18. The
            house was reasonably clean; the beds and bedding were clean;
            the beds were supplied with clean sheets and pillow cases.
            The pantry and cupboards were neat. The men were not allowed
            to occupy their beds in the day time unless sick.
              The bill of fare was reported as follows: 
            Breakfast: potatoes, salt meat, coffee with milk and sugar.
            Dinner: bread (corn and wheat), potatoes and salt meat, pie.
            Supper: bread and butter, tea, sauce, cake, or cookies.
            Fresh meat is furnished once a week in summer; more often in
            winter. On the whole, the condition of this house was satis-
            factory.
