 The Willimantic Woman's club heard the matter of suffrage discussed Tues- day afternoon by Miss Emily Pierson, manager of the campaign party and by Miss Alyse Gregory of NorWalk. The club women were much interested in the question of the ignorant vote and a number of women asked if 1t would be advisable to let ignorant wo- men have the ballot. Miss Pierson re- piled by telling the story of young girl from the slums of New York who when asked what she thought about woman sufIrage said she believed in it but she was afraid Of the ignorant vote.
 Someone asked her what she meant by the ignorant class and she replied quite frankly: T mean that Fifth ave-
 
 laugh during which Miss Pierson add ed that the lack of an education did not always mean ignorance. Many of the club women signified their willing ness to join the suffrage ranks and signed mem bership slips at the close of the meeting.

They expect to hold outdoor meetings at the fac tories as soon as the weather gets warmer. in the meantime they take the cards that form the voiceless speech, set them up on an easel in the roadway at 8 factory gate and begin to turn them to show the var ous arguments as soon as the bell rings for the noon hour

EXPERIMENTS IN
STEER FEEDING
SiIage Can Be Used as Roughage
Even in Coolest Of Winters
Other Tests Made.

Experiments in steer feeding at the
Pennsylvania Experiment station
showed that in cattle feeding the
profit secured from the by-product OF
feed lots may amount to more than
the direct financial gain on the cattle.
The test shows conclusively that
silage can be used as roughage even
in the coolest of winter when fed in
an open shed; that there was con
siderable saving of corn by the exclu.
sive use of silage during the first part
OF the feeding period and that the
value of feeds utilized in the produc-
ton of beef during the winter of 1911
~ was much greater than their mar
ket value
The results of this and other tests
at the Pennsylvania station indicate
that beef can be finished profitably in
the state, where due attention is
paid to the growth of crops equally
adaptable to the soil and to feeding
purposes.
