THE IMMIGRATION BILL
Introduction in the Assembly by Hon.
T. NJ Thomas and Certain
to Become a Law.

The following bill was introduced in
to the assembly by Theodore. M. Thom-
as of Ladysmith, and is said to have
the support of nearly all the members
of that body:
Section 1. There are added to the
statutes of 1893 new sections to be
numbered and read:
Section 237h. The secretary of state,
the commissioner of labor and indus
trial statistics, and the chief clerk of
the state land office, shall constitute a
state board of immigration to serve
without compensation. The coaa2mis-
sio1er of labor and industrial statistics
shall be president, the secretary of
state, vice-president and the chief

poses, also smaller timber that makes
ties, pulpwood, lath and shingle bolts
and fuel, for all of which there is at all
times constant and profitable demand.
Glen Flora has creamery owned by
the farmers which has proven to be
very desirable and profitable to them.
This institution was started as soon as
settlement would allow, showing that
our farmers are not only up to date,
but that they are looking to the future.
Glen Flora prides herself upon the
progress of the section of which she is
the center. In road making the prog
ress is kept up to requirement and
everyone favors good roads and plenty
of them.
The professions and newspaper fields
are also filed, the Star furnishing the
local news.

the reason that the ground is protected
by the snow in winter, there being lit
tie or no frost in the ground, leaving
the grass a chance to grow as the snow
goes off. One needs only. to visit US
early in the spring to be convinced of
this fact.
In grasses, both tame and wild and
for either hay or pasture, it is admitted
by experts from the universities of
several states that this section is the
greatest and most productive new coun-
try known today. An honest state
ment of yields of hay will hardly be be-
heved.
IN THE CORN BELT.
Until farming became considerably
developed it was thought that it could
not be raised successfully here, but ex-
perience has surprised our farmers.

in their conversion into furniture and
other valuable articles: and in this
transformation the Flambeau river is
to play an important part. No fact is
more patent than that the continuous
possession of hydraulic power furnishedS
by the Flambeau river in it's course
over the rapids of the great slope will
be utilized in the manufacture of the;
hardwood forests of the Flambeau wall
ley. Men consulting the location as to
the nearness of desirable raw materials
on the one hand and stable market on
the other, noting the steady flow of
water, the improvious banks and solid
bottoms which assure stability, will
harness these powers, which approxi-
mate as follows:

That all these hydraulic opportunities
will be untitled in the near future is un-
doubted. In consideration of the fact
that the markets lie at the front door,
hardwood and iron and copper are to be
found in the back yard, the hydraulic
is the safest on earth, and it
is evident that the Flambeau is to be
one of the great manufacturing centers
Of the future.

RESIDENCE OF A. C. HOLDEN.

throughout the country for intelligent
and progressive methods of breeding
and feeding dairy cows.
Queen Ormsby, a Holstein-Friesian
heifer, owned by Reddelien Bros, Of
Northlake, Wis, gave the remarkable
yield of 1926 pounds of milk, and
5S4. O8 pounds Of butter fat, equal to
over $50 pounds Of commercial butter.
This was an average Of 4.42 per cent.
of butter fat in the milk, an excellent
content, as the milk of many Holsteins,
especially that of heavy mixers, con-
! tains at times less than 8 per cent. but
ter fat On no test in the year was her
percentage less than AS. Her highest
record for any one month was that OF
December, when she gave nearly 1900
pounds of milk, with 66.034 pounds of
butter fat, a percentage of 4.37. Dur
ing the first eight months her milk
Weld never fell below 1888 pounds,
and the average for that period was
!, ,2914 pounds per month. She was
but three years and three months old
when the tests began, and had just had
her first calf.
The little heifer comes honestly by
her merits, as both her dam and her
grand-dam were famous for the high .
average fat content of their milk. Her
dam, Duchess Ormsby 2nd's Queen,
holds the record for the highest aver
age test for a cow on a sixty-day off /
cial test, with 4.09 per cent. of butter
fat, production of 1:9 566 pounds of
butter fat in the sixty days. Her
grand-dam, Duchess Ormsby, became
famous eight years ago for her yield of
over 10 pounds Of butter fat in seven
days, with nearly 6 per cent. of fat in
the milk soon after calving.
A number of Holstein breeders in
Wisconsin have been breeding with the
specific point in view Of producing
large quantities Of milk of a high fat
content. It would appear from the
records made by Queen Ormsby and
other COWS that have been tested re-
Gently, that it is entirely feasible, by
following careful and intelligent meth
DDS of feeding and breeding, to COM
bine large production Of milk with
high percentage of fat content.
HIGHEST RECORD.
The highest authenticated record for
years production of butter fat by
heifer is that Of Yeksarose, a Guern-
sew heifer from the same herd in Mara
thon county as Yeksa Sunbeam, the
famous cow that last year had semi
official worlds record of 1000 pounds
of commercial butter. The tests for
Yeksarose show a production of H.
275.5 pounds of milk and an average
fat content Of 5.66 per cent. or 638.49
pounds, equal to 745 pounds CT CONNER
cial butter. She was but two years,
six months old at the beginning of the /
test. That her phenomenal production
had no detrimental effect upon her is
attested by the fact that she is now {
safely in calf, is in fine condition, and {
gained 200 pounds in weight during the /;
year. The American Guernsey Cattle ]
Club co-operated with the University
of Wisconsin Experiment Station in
this yearly test, and national interest {
among breeders and dairymen has been
aroused by the results. il
