SCHOOL GARDENS
(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exteny
sion, University of Tennessee) y

(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exteny
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Much interest is being manifested
this spring in school gardens. In some
towns vacant lots are secured by the
schools, the land is heavily MANFRED,
plowed and thoroughly prepared for
seeding, and is then divided into indi
vidual garden plots, separated by
paths two and three feet wide. The
plots are usually about four by eight
feet in size. Another plan is to have
each child cultivate his garden at
home, with the supervision of the
teacher who furnishes the planting
plan.
The school garden is development
Of the nature study idea which was so
popular in the schools few years ago,
and is growth In the right direction:
for the child learns by doing, and his
study is productive. Lessons of seed
sprouting, Of plant food, OF growth and
fruitage, Of the effect of tillage on
plant development, as well as Of insect
life, are sure to be Of interest when
the plants are cared for by the pupils.
The Division of Extension OF the
University of Tennessee will furnish
planting plans, with lists of varieties
of vegetables and flowers and sugges-
tons on spacing, depth of planting,
and method OF care, to any schooE or
civic league interested in school gar
dening. A

The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance in cloth
ing the children or bring to the home
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities in life. 1t IS, as rule,
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity, who is leading the suf-
fragette movement
From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote
as man. So has she as much right
to plow as a man; she has as much
right to work in factory as man;
she has as much right to shoulder a
musket as man, but we would rather
she would not do so from choice
and we regret that necessity ofttimes
cOmpels her to earn a living by en-
gaging in gainful occupations We do
not consider misfortune a qualifica-
ton for suffrage or a business acct
dent a reason for granting franchise.
We are opposed to woman at the
ballot box the same as we are op-
posed to woman in the field, in the
factory or in the army and for the
selfsame reasons. We had rather
see her plant flowers than SOW wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political is

right to do one as the other.

TIE TROUBLE WITH FEEDING
BEEF CATTLE THIS YEAR
(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By r. M. Murphy, Division of EXten-
sion University of Tennessee.)
A number of ,hings are getting the
blame tor the low prices of beef cattle
this year. No attempt will be made to
say which of them deserves it the
most-it really doesn't matter to the
feeder. The thing that concerns him
is that he is losing money. A great
many feeders have lost money this
past winter, because the prices were
lower than they had promise of going.
They had expected them to be higher
than ever before, and felt, therefore,
they were justified in paying more for
their feeders than ever before. Occa-
sionally the Spectator strikes it rich,
and just as often he loses. The whole
trouble with the feeding of this past
winter was in the fact that cattle were
weighed in at too high a price. True,
partly because there was a scarcity,
but mainly because the Spectator
thought he saw chance to make
big profit. Feeders sold as high as
71ac, plus a dollar, and there were
punches of finished cattle this spring
willing to go for that same price. A
margin is necessary for profit, ordin-
aTily about 11ac. The feeder has no
control over the market but he should
certainly look more carefully after
the cost of his feeders. = Feeder steers
can be grown for SIC. If the average
feeder had weighed his steers in at
51ac this past fall, there would be
heard much less complaint at low
prices.
Following is quite a conservative
estimate of cost of producing feeder
steer:

A certain estimable old gentleman Is at all times worth listening to, though occasionally his grammar is scarcely perfect.

NAVAL GUN VIBRATION.
Conditions on a Warship When Heavy
 Firing Is In Progress,

Conditions on a Warship When Heavy
 Firing Is In Progress,
 The average civilian has very vague idea as to the conditions inside a turrct on a war vessel while heavy firing is going on.
 The greatest force of the vibration from the firing of gun is naturally just outside the muzzle, and that is outside the turret. So terrific is this vibration that if severe precautions were not taken the deck under the muzZle would be ripped to pieces, sheet iron doors would be wrenched from their hangings and skylights shattered. To guard against these ef- fleets the deck under the gun muzzle Is re-enforced with steel plates about an inch thick and skylights are taken off and replaced with coverings of armor plate.
 Of course very considerable roar and jar are felt inside the turret. Men who are looking for the refinement of precaution recommend that gunners wear shoes with rubber cushioned soles and heels to lessen the jar on the deck.
 The air vibration, due either to firing in ones own or some other turret, has eaused many cases of gun deafness. To stuff the ears with cotton wool is, of course, the commonest expedient followed by men and officers alike. There is also what is called the Cheat ham device, consisting of mixture of clay and wool. It is very flexible, can be nodded to any ear and still allows it's wearer to hear orders.
 Gun deafness may come immediately as result of ruptured ear drum or gradually owing to an injury to the auditory nerve.-L.ondon Answers.

Commander of Submarine Says Fired
 Only One Torpedo and That In- ternal Explosion Did Rest.

BERLIN, May 15.-The commander of the German submarine which sunk the British ship LusItania re- ports to the admiralty that only one torpedo was fired at the ship and that the ship sunk as result of an internal explosion caused by the large quantity of high explosive ammuni- tion which was on the ship but which the submarine commander knew mo- thing of and he had expected that the ship would remain afloat long enough to allow the passengers to reach shore, which was only few miles distant from the scene of the engagement.
 The commander denies the stories appearing in hostile press stating that the members of the crew of the submarine watched the drowning of the non-combatants and sneered at them as they went down.

ANCIENT ROMAN THEATERS.
Augustus Made tho Women Sit Apart
 In the Hiuhest Places.

When Rome was in her glory and the theater most popular distinctions between spectators long remained un- known. When distinctions were made the best seats were not assigned to the priests, for the drama had no such re- ligious significance for the Romans as 1t had had for the Greeks, but were set apart for the more aristocratic DOT tion of the community.
 The orchestra was by law set apart for the senators. Later, perhaps after e B. C., the first fourteen rows back of the orchestra were, by the law of Roscius Otho, reserved at Rome for the knights, says Art and Archaeology. Similar arrangements obtained in Ro- man theaters outside of Rome, though in a provincial town like Pompeii as many as fourteen rows of seats can hardly have been necessary for the knights
 Augustus regulated the whole mat ter afresh. He confirmed the special privileges already granted to senators and to knights. He relegated the low est classes to the highest seats and made the women sit apart, likewise in the uppermost places. It is possible that he was the sponsor also for the more exact regulations laid down con- cerning places of honor for magis, trates, priests, etc.
 The seats of highest honor were those on the tribunalia. Here the editor and the emperor sat on the right side. On the other tribunal the vestal virgins had their places, and with them the empress.

STANDING TIMBER.
Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con.
 tents In Board Feet,

tents In Board Feet.
 The contents of trees in board feet is usually figured by Doyle's rule. This rule is to deduct four inches from the small dia meter of the log for slab, squaring one quarter of the remainder and multiplying the results by the length of the log in feet For example. to find the contents of twelve foot log twenty-four inches in diameter dn- side the bark) at the small end-24 inches minus inches equal 20 inches: 20 inches by 4 equal inches; by E by 12 equal 300 board feet
 Perhaps an easier way to get at the same result is to state the rule as fol- lows: From q sixteen foot log deduct four inches for slab and square the remainder. For longer or shorter logs the contents would be proportioned to the length. In the above case 1t would be worked out thus: 24 minus 4 equals 20, 20 by 20 equals 400, for sixteen foot log. But twelve foot log Is twelve-sixteenths or three-quarters as long as a sixteen foot log; therefore this log contains three quarters of 400 board feet, or 300 board feet. If the log were twenty feet long it would contain one and one e-quarter times 400 feet, or 500 feet.
 A common way of estimating stand ing timber is to estimate the length and the top and bottom diameters and apply Doyle's rule, using the average of both diameters and the whole length of the tree.-Rural New Yorker.

Eugenics and Other les and Isms

There has been a world Of talk,
iscientifict and otherwise, regarding
the question Of eugenics, or the Sc
lection of healthy parents to pro-
duce healthy offspring. As a theory
Of marriage, it is undoubtedly fine,
but when it comes to putting a Gu
genie law on the statute books Of the
state, a great many persons believe
humanity is not far enough educated
as a mass to make the movement a
success.
The operation of the eugenic law
of marriage in Wisconsin during the
first year seems to bear out the view.
During 1914 the first year of opera
ton Of the eugenic marriage law,
1900 fewer marriages were reported
to the state board Of health than were
reported in 1913. In 1914, 17,245 of
the regular ceremonials were recorded
and 81 common law marriages were
contracted. In 1913 there were 21,-
052 amrriages.
The state board Of health, friend of
the law, attempts to explain this
marked falling off in the number of
marriages. In that explanation it
suggests an evil is bound to prosper
under such a law, to-wit: the common
law marriage, which, the authorities
say, showed an increase in that time,
being entered into even by perfectly
healthy couples, who resent infringe
ment upon their personal affairs, like
wise the number of Wisconsin couples
who eloped to other states to be mar
ried showed an increase. Owing to
the inability Of other applicants to
secure a license under the health pro-
visions of the act, the marriage rate
fell. explain the apologists for the
Wisconsin law. They also point out
that the business depression during
the latter half of the old year was
Irresponsible in part for the decline.
But the outstanding fact is that
there were 1000 fewer marriages in
Wisconsin last year than there were
the year before. As a promoter OF
immortality and a smear upon the
