method of cleaning the ground pre-
paratory to blowing. This system Is
most largely practiced where the corn
is snapped, or husked, I'm the field,
leaving the stalks standing.
Another great waste that can well
be stopped Is the failure to utilize the
large area of grass along our roads,
lanes, and fence rows. Sheep would
utilize this waste and remove one of
the greatest breeding places of inju-
rious farm insects. The lower leaves
of the corn plant. which usually go to
waste, as well as the cut-over grain
and hay fields, also offer considerable
feed to farm flocks.
Practical experience as well as ex-
perimental work has taught that straw
and stover can be used very econom-
ically In the rations of almost all kinds
of live stock. These roughages are
and should be used In the fattening
rations of all farm animals except
hogs, and should compose the larger
part Of all wintering or keeping ra-
lions for cattle. sheep. and horses
Breeding herds of beef cattle or dry
dairy cows can be successfully kept
on rations composed largely Of these
materials. Flocks of breeding ewes
do well with such feeds when some
grain is added. Horses doing very
light or no work need little grain II
given plentiful allowance of clean,
bright straw or slower. Under certain
conditions, of course. grain should be
added to the ration. but now 1t should
be conserved as largely as possible for
human consumption.

SUFFRAGE BILL
IS PASSED OVER
GOVERNORS VETO
Senate Overrides Veto of
Gov. Clement After
Short Debate

Following half hours debate, the
Vermont senate Tuesday passed over
Governor Clements veto by an exact
two-thirds majority Senate bill No.
8, giving women the right to vote
for presidential electors. The vote
was 18 in favor of passage and nine
opposed, with three senators absent
Or not voting. The committee on ju-
dietary, to whom the bill had been re-
ferred after coming from the execu-
tive chamber, reported the bill fa-
vorably Notwithstanding the objec-
tions raised by Governor Clement.
The House Tuesday morning ad-
vanced to third reading the House
bill No. POT, providing for a barge
terminal, the bill having been ably
supported on the floor of the House
by Mr.. Hopkins of Burlington.
The senators voting for passage
ovr the governors veto were: A1ney
Ballou, Bates, Billings, Daniels, Ham,
blet, Hill, Howland, Jackson, Kings
ley, Morgan, Payne, Root, Steele,
Start, Tenney, Tracy and ilas.
The senators voting against the
! passage of the measure were: Ad-
ans, Belknap, Carr, Hall, Hendee,
LaF'luer, McKillup, Taylor and Var
mum.
| Those absent and not voting were
Senators Lewis, Noonan and Schoff.
/ During the debate on the measure,
passage of the bill was opposed by
| Senator LaFluer and Carr. Senators
Amey an dSteele of the committees
on suffrage and elections and judici-
airy, respectively, explained why the
committees had considered the bill
constitutional. Senator LaFluer did
not believe it advisable to pass the
measure with the question of its con-
stitutionality raised. Seantor Carr
! urged the senate to sustain the veto
| of the governor.
Senators Kingsley and Villas sum
/ med up the argment for the passage
| of the measure. Among other things
Senator Villas said that the constitu-
ton does not provide for the choos-
/ ing Of electors through the popular
/ vote, but provides that the people
shall act through their representa-
tives in the legislature on this ques
ton. Each legislator is, therefore, {
| law unto itself.
/ The United States constitution de
fines the situation, said Senator Villa:
and the constitution of Vermont j:
overruled by that, but Senator Villa.
maintained that he found nothing il
the constitution of Vermont which
/ would make this measure unconsti
ttional.
"The governors veto message wa
clouded with obseurity," declared
II Senator Villas. "The lawyer wh'
wrote that message (and I am col
fident that lawyer did write it) ha'
made up his mind that he would no
give anything to women in Vernon
that he were not obliged to give"

STATE TEACHERS
RETIREMENT FUND
BEFORE THE SENATE.
Explained by Commissioner
Hillegas, Judge Mower
and Others
SENTIMENT FOR BILL
Senator Carr and Others Propose
Amendments-Bil Was Ordered
SENTIMENT FOR BILL

Monday evening, after the close
of it's regular calendar the Senate,
in a committee of the whole listen
ed to Judge e. C. Mower of Burling-
ton, Commissioner of Education M.
B. Hillegas, F. A. Rowland of the
National Life Insurance company and
Superintendent Hutchinson of the
Montpelier schools on the subject of
the teachers retirement fund as pro-
vided for in S. 63, which was before
the Senate as special order. At the
close fthe committee hearing on
motion of Senator Steele the bill was
ordered to lie.
Practically all the sentiment ex-
pressed was in favor Of the bill.
Senator Carr has proposed several
amendments to the measure, which
he explained. He proposes to amend
the bill so that it will be left OPP
tional to the teachers, both old and
new, as to whether they come into
this association to be known as the
Teachers Retirement Fund associa-
ton. His amendments also provide
that if they do put their money into
the association it shall remain there
as long as they teac hin the state.
A teacher may at any time when she
ceases teaching in the state draw her
money from the fund. If she teaches
in the state six years her money put
into the fund will be doubled by the
state, and if a teacher is sick OF
injured so that he or she cannot work
there is a provision for an allowance
covering the period of incapacity. At
! the age of 60 years, in the case of
| female teachers, and 65 in the case
of male teachers, the teacher would
be retired on pension.
A NV measure which appeared in
the House is FL 287, reported by the
committee on highways and bridges
as a substitute bill for FL. 254, the
truck bill. The new measure pro-
vides for the figuring Of weight from
the standpoint of carrying capacity
when dealing with registration, in.
stead of fpgring in the weight of the
! traction engine, motor truck or other
vehicle itself. With this change the
rates to be charged for registration
are the same as in the former bill
up to three tons, when the rates in.
crease more gradually than in the
| former measure.
When this new measure was intro
duced, Mr.. Estee of Montpelier NOV
| ed that it be recommitted to the
committee in order that a public
hearing may be held on it.
Mr. Buxton of Middletown Spring.
opposed this motion as he said tha
a lot Of time had been spent in a pub
lie hearing on the same measure al
ready, and that the parties who hat
formerly opposed the bill are nov
satisfied with it, so that there woult
seem to be no further call for anothe,
hearing.
Mr. Belknap of Rockingham sait
that in his Judgment a further hear
ing would simply be a waste o
