                         INSPECTION OF COUNTY POOR HOUSES.
                         
              RICE COUNTY POORHOUSE was visted September 8, 1892. There
            were 11 inmates; 5 men and 6 women. This county has the com-
            bined system of county and town care for the poor. The towns
            distribute outdoor relief and the county maintains a poor
            farm, charging back the expenses upon the towns at the rate
            of $1.50 per week.
              There is no proper separation between the sexes, the rooms
            of the men and the women being on the same hall.
              Supper was on the table: bread and butter, dried apple
            sauce, tea, milk and syrup, making a good meal. The general
            condition of the house was satisfactory.
