dence, the first four days being consumed
in securing a jury. 1t is expected that
the trial will last all of next week.
Challenges the Prosecution.
Counsel for the defendant late this aft
ernoon boldly challenged the prosecution
to attack the character of Mrs. McRee.
This announcement by Judge Hunter. at

served to interrupt the initial effort of
the prosecution to show undue intimacy
between the prisoner and Allan Garland.

The prosecution will argue that the de-

canceling the engagement with Miss

that they saw Allan Garland in the Nc

killing Sicily said he had seen Mrs.
McRee and the deceased together in a
wagon several times.

Dairy Cow
Competition to
Discover
Good Cows
BY PROF. F. w. WOLL
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture

The Wisconsin dairy COW competi.
ton was originated through desire
to increase the development of Wis
consin dairying by stimulating the in
terest In yearly testing of COWS for
milk and butter fat production. 1t
was begun in 1909 and patterned aft.
er the Iowa station competition and
was rendered possible through the
generosity Of w. w. Marsh of Water
loo, Iowa. who donated $1,000 for the
largest authenticated record of pro-
ductiOn Of butterfat for one year
made by Wisconsin COW. In addi-
ton Hoard's Dairyman offered
monthly prize of $25 to go to the
owners of cows having the highest
production Of butter fat for each
month during the period Of the com
petition. The various herd associa-
tons made similar donations which
brought the grand total value Of all
the prizes offered in the competition
up to $4,000.
The College Of Agriculture pays
for the administration of the tests
and the travelling expenses OF the
supervisors out Of the agricultural
extension fund. Farmers entering
their cows in the competition paid
for the services rendered by the
supervisors of dairy tests in conduct
ing the monthly tests, at the rate OF
IS per two day tests. The feature
prizes consisted Of $1,000 in cash
prizes and Of special prizes to
the value of $1,000 to be award
ed for herd records or for rec.
ords made by groups of COWS in the
same herd. In addition there were
also prizes ranging from 500 to $500
Tor tho highest records Of produc-
ton of butter fat by ten cows in

$50 to 5000 were granted the best

Fred W. Seward was accustomed to
tell this story of the signing of the
emancipation proclamation by Lincoln,
to which he was witness: When the
proclamation was engrossed Mr.. Sew

document to the White House to get

THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian Immigration Branch shows
that upwards of $4,000 persons ar
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton OF becoming settlers In that coun-
try. OF this number about 10000
were from the United States, the bal
nnce being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. 1t will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure of
Canadian wheat oats, barley and fax
grown on the rich prairie Of Western
Canada Is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
Of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as 1t
Is but they did not look for SO large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre
pared. Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 100 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: The d.
version OF European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the America Canada line
two OF the best special emigrant
steamers afloat, the Gothland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
IN the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports'
On the date of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
that the Vanguard Of the 1911 army
of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1880 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load of ef
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members Of Is
families. Every man Jack in the
party is skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every
thing that experience has shown is
necessary to make start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were large
number of horses and cattle. Some of
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put tight
to work on ground breaking"
One of the agents of the Canadian
government advises that it would ap-
pear as if each month of the present
year would show large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department. describ
ing the country ana its resources, Is
greater than it ever has been.
