who It Admits 10 Practice before II,
and How tt u Done.
The Supreme Court or the United
States is daily the scene of an event,
which. while not OF especial interest TO
the spectators. is of marked interest to
the actors. 1t is the introduction Of
lawyers from the various States and
Territories to practice before the
highest judicial tribunal in the land.
4 lawyer to be eligible to admittance
must be member OF the Supreme
Court of his own State or Territory
aud must be introduced by member OF
the United Stated supreme Court bur
in good standing. As soon as the few
formal words of introduction arc ut
tered by the sponsor the applicant is
directed 10 the clerk 5 desk, and there,
in company with any others who may
have been introduced. he is sworn to
observe tho rules and observances oi
the court and To maintain the Constitu-
tiou of the United States. The appli-
| cant is then conducted TO the clerk
room, where he signs his name and ad.
| dress in book kept for the purpose,
and also pays the $40 fee, usually with
crisp $40 bill.
Scarcely a day passes that one OF
more attorneys arc not introduced tC
the Supreme Court. Monday, however
is the day generally selected. Monday
| is the day on which the court renders
| its decisions. The installations take
| place as soon as the last decision il
read, and, as a rule, the last decision
OF the day is read by the Chief Justice
who waits until the other judges hav,
con .luded. The Chief Justice ther
bow TO the Attorney General, who il
turn bows TO the lawyers who have an
| nounced their intention of introducing
professional brothers. The sponsor
and tho applicants rise and the intro
duction follows.

Rye SoiIing Experiments.


Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Bulletin No. gives some valu-
able information on soiling rye and
its digestibility. At the college
they SOW the winter rye at inter
walls during September and Octo-
Der, at the rate of four bushels per
acre on well-manured land. and in the
following May and early June have a
valuable crop for feeding. 1t is stated
in the bulletin that If cut before the
heads form. two good crops may be
secured. In their experiments they
have secured as high as 20 tons per
acre, or Al tons of dry matter. which
is about double the amount of pasture
grass for the same area Prof. FreaF
found that when cut shortly after the
heads formed. that over 20 per cent.
of the dry substance was digested, and
sums up as follows: This shows that
although soiling rye differs from past
ure grass considerably in composition
and digestibility. the yield per acre OF
digestible substance is much greater
and the material is probably equally
well fitted for the purposes of mill
| production. Also that the constituents
are present in such relative quantities
as to fit the fodder for use without ths
addition of other more eencea.rateG
