EVERY COW IS cRooMED

Mrs. Howie, who is one of the lead
ing speakers at the farmers institute
to be held at Jamestown, February
3rd and 4th next has the following
to say about her cows: .
"Every COW in my stable is
groomed every day. She is brushed.
washed, her hoofs and her horns pol
ished. Some people might laugh at
this, but it brought its results. Cows
are Intelligent animals, the rubbing
and grooming not only stimulates
their circulation, strengthens their
digestion and improves the. tactical
processes, but adds to their self-re-
spect, giving better results in every
way. !"
Today Mrs. Howie is considered
one Of the most famous dairy women
lin the United States II not In 1iife
world, and she attributes 1t all to
good common sense principles, soap,
white wash, water and kindness.
Every year the Wisconsin Institutes
demand her services, Mississippi has
sent for her as have the farmers Of
New Jersey and G Connecticut and now
North Dakota Is very fortunate in
getting her service for . series Of
talks. While dairying is her special
ty, she knows q great dea: about fine
poultry on the farm and can give
some practical lessons. !!sl,s.

sufficient to warrant an indict- ment by grand jury, much less a conviction by a trial jury.
 District Attorney Geary rejoin- ed with the contention that nin- ety nine percent of the verdicts in criminal cases were based wholly on circumstantial evi- dence; that few murderers were caught with smoking pistols or dripping knife and that in the whole group of larceny cases the crime was committed by cunning or strategy, hence their detection and conviction must of necessity be dependent on circumstantial evidence.
 Justice Waite then announced that after a long and careful con- sideration of the evidence at hand he had decided that con- scientious discharge of his duty left him no alterna tive but to al low the case to go to trial by a higher court. The bond was fix ed at 5000 and the district at torney made a formal motion that a commitment be issued placing the accused in tie custody of the sheriff or constable until such time as the bond had been secured and approved. By mu- tual concent the defendant was paroled in the custody of his counsel and a bond furnished by himself was later accepted and filed.
 Wednesday morning, following his admission of guilt, and after disclosing the hiding place of the missing funds, Sherer left the city.
 The impression prevails that in consideration of his confession and restitution of the money Sherer was promised immunity from punishment, but Judge Waite is authority for the state ment that the confession, made before three witnesses, waswhol- Ky voluntary; that the defendant paid all court costs and will ap
 pear at the fall term of court fol
 trial.
