Washington, December 7, 1894.
The democratic Senators have made
earnest efforts this week to agree upon
a programme for the session. Two
conferences have been held for the ex
change of views, but the same old ob
stacle to harmony too many differ
ent views and too many would-be
leaders still stands in the way. There
is still hope, however, that some sort
of an agreement may be reached, but
it is altogether too much like the hope
indulged in by a very sick man that
he will get well to please those demo
crats who have no sympathy with the
att'aide assumed by certain Senators
elected as democrats, at the last ses
sion, and which is still maintained by
them. 1 hey men adopted a rule or
ruin policy, and, notwithstanding the
ruin which their rule has already ac
complished they still stick to it.
The democrats of the House have
deferred holding their caucus until
next week so as to cive the Senators
time in which to decide what is to be
done, or attempted, at this session.
That the democrats in Congress
are doing some hard thinking on the
financial plan proposed by Secretary
Carlisle and endorsed by President
Cleveland is shown by their reluctance
to commit themselves at this time
either for or against the proposed
plan. The short time at their disposal
will, of courA:, increase the chances
against the adoption of such a com
prehensive financial measure, although
there is a disposition on the part of
the Southern democrats to try to pass
a bill embodying that part of the plan
that provides for the exemption of
the currency of such State banks as
may adopt the regulations provided
from Federal taxation. President
Cleveland says he considers the plan
proposed by Secretary Carlisle as the
most statesmanlike financial document
ever submitted to Congress, and that
he proposes to stand by it to the end
of his term.
A subcommittee of the House com
mittee on Banking and Currency was
appointed at tne last session to con
sider the numerous bills before that
committee and to formulate either
from them, or as an original measure,
something to take the place of the
national banking law. Representative
Cox, of Tennessee, is chairman of
this subcommittee, and the other
democratic members are Culbertson,
of Texas, and Cobb, of Missouri, the
republicans being Brosius, of Penn
sylvania, and Haugen, of Wisconsin.
Mr. Cox says the subcommittee will
hold daily meetings until it has agreed
to some measure to be reported to
the full committee or has demonstrated
the impossibility of reaching such an
agreement. In addition to the financial
bills introduced at the last session the
subcommittee will consider the plan
for increasing the currency of the
National banks and for the exemption
of the State bank currency lrom red
eral taxation, under specified condi
tions, pioposed by . Secretary Carlisle
and endorsed by President Cleveland
Unless there is a very decided change
in the attitude of members of the
committee there is very little proba
bility of an agreement being reached,
more's the pity, for something ought
to be done.
Chairman Bland, of the House
Coinage Committee, says he will en
deavor to get that committeee to re
port his free coinage bill to the House,
and that if the committee does so the
bill will certainly pass the House
While it is known that a majority of
the Coinage committee favor tree
coinage, there are several of them
who would not vote to report the bill
to the House at the last session, be.
cause they knew it could not possible
become a law. Whether any of these
centlemen have chanted their minds
remains to be seen.

Wedderburn. manager of the " Press

NOTES FROM THE PONSIL
VANIA EXPERIMENT
STATION,
Within the past year, a new feed
ing stuff called " cotton seed feed "
has been quite extensively advertised
in this and other states, tins feed
purports to be a mixture of one part
of cotton seed meal and'five parts of
cotton hulls by weight, and is sold in
car lots at $1150 per ton in bulk. It
is specially recommended for fatten
ing purposes but is also claimed to
give goon results in the pro
duction of milk and butter.
In a bulletin now in press, the Ex
periment Station gives the details of
some experiments carried out to test
the value of this feed. The feed has
been examined as to its chemical
composition, its digestibility, and its
actual feeding value for dairy cows,
The results of these experiments were
in brief as follows :
lhc chemical composition was
found, on the whole, to correspond
very well to the composition claimed
for tlie feed. Its digestibility was
comparatively low, the total amount
f digestible food present in the feed
eing somewnat less than in clover or
imothy hay, and somewhat greater
than that found in good corn-fodder,
although the proportion of protein is
considerably higher than that in either
corn fodder or timothy. At tne price-
named, a pound of digestible food in
the cotton seed feed was found to con
about 34 per cent, more than in
timothy or clovei hay and 20 per cent.
more than in corn
Two experiments were made with
dairy cows to test its value as a feed
for milk and butter. In the first ex
periment a ration of cotton seed feed
and bran produced 18 per cent, less
milk and 10 per cent, less butter than
one of corn-fodder, mixed lxiy, corn
meal, and cotton-seed meal contain
ing the same amount of dry matter,
The estimated net profit per cow per
day was 17 per cent, less on the cot
ton-seed feed ration than on the hay
and fodder ration. In the second ex
periment, a ration of cotton seed feed,
bran, and Buffalo gluten mea' produc
ed 1 5 per cent, less milk and 6 per
cent, less butter than a ration of
clover hay, corn meal, bran, and
Buffalo gluten meal, containing 2J
pounds more grain and Jot a pound
more coarse fodder. The net profit
per day and head, in this case, was 4
per cent, less on the clover nay ration
than on the cotton seed ieea ration,
but it is probable that the cows on
the clover, hav ration were somewhat
over fed.
The general conclusion drawn from
these investigations is that cotton-seed
feed is too expensive in proportion to
the amount ot food which it contains
to successfully compete, on tqual
terms, with ordinary dairy feeds at
average prices.
An incidental result ot the expert
ments is to illustrate the possibilities
of profit in dairying. The net profit
above the estimated cost of feed and
care in these experiments ranged from
77 to per cent, of the cost ot the
feed. While there are other elements
of exnense in dairying which are not
ncluded in tnese estimates, tne reruns
nevertheless make a very good show-
in for the Drofits of dairying and
particularly ot Dutter production.

METHODS OF PRIMARY READING.
III.-THE PHONIC METHOD.
By William Noetling.
This method did not take its rise
among us, but was brought here from
some of the countries of the old world
whose languages are nearly free from
the anomalies and inconsistences
which burden English orthography.
In Germany and some others of the
countries across the Atlantic, this
method was in some form or other,
and to some extent, employed nearly
a century ago. It must not however
be assumed that this method, in the
spelling form, is that of the Germans.
Such an Assumption would be'ittle
their knowledge of psychology. Dies
terweg, in Praktischer Lehrgang, pub
lished in 1830, speaks of word and of
thought reiding, laying special stress
upon the latter. He says a pupil
should not be permitted to read a
sentence unless he knows what all its
words mean ; and he attributes poor
reading to the failure of teachers to
insist upon this. He emphasizes the
importance of daily woid repetition
to make word recognition automatic.
Failing to make the recognition of
words automatic is' a common fault
of teachers at the present day.
I he phonic method, or what is call
ed by that name, instead of having
had a fixed form, or mode of use has
had nearly as many as it has had differ
ent advocates. Some commenced by
teaching the short vowel sounds, then
combined these with consonants to
form words. Thus with the short
sound of a they combined t, making
at; then prefixed in succession m,f,
r, c, s, &c. making mat, fat, rat, cat,
sat. &c. This was followed by a com
parison of hard and soft c, in cat, cut,
cojisc, cold, can, with cedar, cell,
cinder, cider, &c. Fixed initial and
terminal combinations, such as bl, sc,
br, cl, si, sm, and Id, It, it, ip, ill, in,
were taught as a unit.
Others, to supply the deficiency in
characters to represent all the sounds,
changed the forms of some of the
letters, a, for example, to represent
certain sounds, or introduced new
characters to complete the necessary
number. This phonetic system, as it
was termed, seemed to be quite a
success, and by those who saw only
with their eyes and heard only with
their ears, not with their minds, was
declared to be the long-looked-for ;
but, alas I like all artificial systems
it was doomed to a comparatively
short life. It was true that pupil's
learned to pronounce by it quite
rapid'y as long as they used the pho
netic characters, but when given exer
cises in the common alphabet, and
failing to meet the accustomed add
ed letters, were helpless. Besides,
the method did not teach reading ;
but only pronunciation. This method
was advocated by Dr. Alfred Hol
brook of Lebanon, Ohio, in The
Normal Methods of Teaching, pub
lished in i860.
To relieve the dryness and mono
tony of the so called pure phonic
method, a few teachers here and there,
struck by what they considered a hap
py thought, introduced as aids to the
memory of some of the sounds, the
noises of animals. That of the sheep
was made to help the sound of a in
area ; that of geese, sh that of the
cow, 10 ; that of the dog, r ; &c.
But these auxiliaries met with little
favor among the body of teachers :
the more intelligent declared the help
nonsense, and a system that needed
such assistance, unphilosophical and
unpedagogical. This happy thought,
like numerous others before it, was
soon doomed to the same fate.
