THE CowPEA VINE AND SOFA BEAN.
In digestion experiments with vnriou,
feeding stufTs carried On at the North
Carolina Experiment Station, at Raleigh
cowpea vine hay formed one of the sub
jects for consideration. The nutrative
ratio obtained in this experiment shows
this hay to nave been relatively about
equal to the standard rations for heavy
work aud production OF milk. The an.
finals ate this hay nearly as we'll as they
did the pulled fodder ana the clover.
With cowpea vine hay of good quality
for above uses no grain need be used,
while for maintenance and light work
straw or cotton seed bulls could we'll be
fed as part OF good ration.
The SOFA bean Is considered promis.
ing crop. Sofa bean sllage has been fed
in the station stable long enough to give
assurance of its value. For COWS it
seems to arrest the natural decline in
yield for time.
The high percentage of protein in
proportion to carbohydrates gives this
silage narrow nutrative ratio, and this
indicates that it can be used to good adj
vantage as part of ration of hay or
straw with corn, or corn and oats, or
mixed with corn silage. A correspon-
dent of this station, who grows corn and
SOFA beans together for silage, gives the
assurance that this combination saves
him much grain, as less is needed with
his stock when feeding this combination
than with other coarse foods.
A ration of forty pounds corn and
SOFA bean silage, in equal parts by
weight, has been calculated to Weld di.
gestible nutrients in pounds as follows:
Protein, .76S; fats, Ais; other carbo-
hydrates, 1922. The nutrative ratio is
1 to IA, and, although the nutrative
substance is but 5.81 pounds less than
two-thirds of the standard for oxen Mt
rest, it is in all probability sufficient to
sustain 1000-pound animal and produce
slow gain. This is possible because the
animal will take little OF no water not in
the silagc, and having, therefore, less
internal work to perform, the small
amounts of nutrative substances suffices
for the animals needs.-New York

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
haeh Bishopto Forward His Opinion on
the Subject 80 Rome.

WASHINGTON, Jan. TO- Tie important
controversy on the Catholic and public
school question has assumed a new and
most interesting phase. The fact can be
stated on authority that the Pope
through his ablegdte, Archbishop Satolli.
has taken the Catholic bishops of the
United States into consultation on the
question. Some inkling of this came in
an accurate dispatch from Rome or the
9th instant, which said
THE Pope has sent a letter directing
the American Episcopatc to carefully ex-
anime and consider the fourteen proposi-
ticns submitted at the conference Of tie
archtiSLops at the meeting I'm New York
In November last by Archbishop SatolH.
and make whatever corrections they may
deem advisable and forward them to

deductions drawn from it sive an eIro-

MCONAs TO GET THROUGH.
All of the Charges Against Him Seem to
Lack Confirmation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0-The Senate
Judiciary Committee has been engaged for
a day or so in the investigation Of the
charges that Mr.. McComas was connected
with the National Investment Company,
an institution that is charged with being
somewhat irregular in its business trans
actions. The committee had one or two
witnesses before ii this morning, but
nothing was developed tending to show
that Mr. McComas had anything TO do
with the concern. Another meeting Of
the subcommittee VIII be held to-mor-
row. and after that, it is understood. the
nomination will soon be favorably re-
ported 10 the Senate. The committee
seem to be Of the opinion that there
is nothing in the matter that reflects upon
the integrity Of Mr.. McCOmas or in any
way associates him with the transactions
Of the company.
Mr. McCOmas himself sent the COM
mittee a sweeping denial of the charges,
and has in various interviews stated that
he knew nothing about the National
Investment Company. and that If his
name had been used IL was without his
knowledge and authority.
The Senate committee has permitted the
widest latitude TO those who are opposing
the confirmation of Mr.. McComas, but
after having submitted all their evidence
there appears to be no reason why Mr.
McComas should not be confirmed, and
this action is now anticipated within q
very few days.
