pork dinner-and the money

What HAD he done! Stag
was frozen for a horrible
moment.
"Gosh 80 Oh, my gosh /!
Wait! Stall them off, Mari
anne! I'll get it back
honest to God, I will"
He clattered from the
porch. She heard his voice
in a shout as he raced across
the courtyard in the thick
grey light.
From the other room came
the sound of Lieutenant
Frayne's impatient voice
calling her. Pulling herself
together Marianne brushed
at her wet eyes and went in,
forcing a smile.
Frayne spoke with nerv-
Gus irritation. His promo
ton hung on this meal.
"Serve us at once, NADIA

hungry.

couldn't even scrape up the

Her face frightened with
a wide smile.

"Thanks to you and the
money you let me have, you
perfect darling!"
"Yes-and I've come to
YOU for some now!" Ann
Marie sat on the very edge
Of her chair, her face eager
and questioning.

He went through the day
in glowering silence, making
a point Of staying away
from the house.
Twice he had the bitter
satisfaction of seeing Mari
anne come out on the porch
and stand for a moment
looking over toward the
barn.
Stag tried to sneer. On,
she'd take him now that her
officer had left, would She!
Well, she had another think
coming-she wouldn't make
a fool of him twice! Wom-
en-hah! a man was a fool
to let them get under his
skin!
Nor was the soreness in
his heart abated by the re-
marks of Yom and Soapy.
These irrepressibles h d
missed the real hurt in
Stays eyes. To their minds
this was just another of the
young fellows easy con-
quests.
"Kind of lost out with
the little Frenchie, didn't
you?" inquired Soapy So.

day. "Well, cheer up, Hand

but it was easy to see that
elaborate dinner prepara-
tions had been going ON.
On the top Of a low oven be-
fore the fireplace was a huge
wooden platter. Stays jeal-
Gus gaze devoured it. A
roast pig-cooked to a turn
and about it, tastefully ar
ranged side dishes garnished
with parsley.
Hey! What you doingl"
A hoarse whisper below the
porch made him jump.
"Tryin' to horn in where
you re not invited"
Stays startled eyes made
out the white grins Of Yom
and Soapy in the dusk be-
low.
At that same moment
from the room adjoining the
kitchen at one end, came
the murmur of Lieutenant
Frayne voice-the soft rip
pie of Marianne's laugh.
Madness -- exploding in
Stag's brain. s""
"Wait a shake, fellows"
he Kissed at the two indis-
tinct forms below him. "I'll
give you a Christmas pres
ent!"
In long strides, he tip
toed across the kitchen,
snatched up the platter with
the roast and darted back
to the porch.
With the compliments
of Lieutenant Frayne !" he
got out between clenched
teeth as he handed it down
to the stupefied doughboys.
"My sainted Aunt!" al
most wept Soapy, "if it
amt real food!"
Some t h ng miraculous
about the speed with which
the two melted from sight
bearing the platter between
them.
Jealousy had made Stag
utterly reckless by now. AS
Marianne could be heard re-
turning to the kitchen he
boldly stepped inside the
room. Her eyes went wide
with alarm.
"Oh e. M'sieur Stag"
"Yep. Mr.. Stag, himself,
in person. said the grim
young man. "Come to tell
you that he's busted up
your darling NJ. P.'s tea
party! I'm afraid the poor
boys goin' to have to put
up with stew-or beans
Just like a common soldier!"
The girls face whitened.

Stays nails were driving

Despite himself, his eyes
went over to the house. A

above the chimney. So, Yom

-" " Warm cheer made for
Frayne!
Drawn as though by a
magnet, the young fellow
walked over. Savory smells
floated out to meet him.
Hunger added, in some
subtle way, to the jealous
anger in his heart.
Stag tiptoed to the porch
and looked into the kitchen

ajar for ventilation.

Breaking the world championship
record of another Oregon Jersey
COW, The Lions Lilac, owned by
Harry D. Iliff of Independence, Ore
gon, has completed the highest Off
cial 305-day butterfat production rec
ord in the history of the Jersey
breed.
Started on test at the age of
years and IL months she yielded
926.55 lbs. of butterfat and 1884
lbs. of milk, the equivalent of 1,15S
lbs. of butter and 6,439 quarts OF
milk, in 305 days.
On account of the phenomenal
yield of The Lions Lilac Mr.. Tiff
continued her test and at the end
of 365 days she had produced
1,086.20 lbs. of butterfat and 16,604
lbs. of milk, the equivalent of 1875
lbs. of butter and 1922 quarts of
milk.
Ten different supervisors, six from
the Oregon State Agricultural Col
lege, two from Washington and two
from Idaho, checked Lilac's yield
during the test. She was milked by
machine throughout the year. Mr..
Iliff is, unfortunately, partially dis
abled by rheumatism.
Mr.. Iliff now has the unique dis
tinction of being the only Jersey
breeder in the world to own four
living Jersey COWS that have pro-
duced over 1000 lbs. of butterfat, or
1880 lbs. of butter, in a year. One
Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18

of these cows, Imp. Xenia's Oxford
Lilac, is the dam of The Lions Lii
lac. These two COWS are the only
Jersey dam and daughter both of
which have produced more than
1000 lbs. of butterfat in a 365-day
test.
Each of the four 1,000-lb. COWS in
Mr.. lifts herd holds world cham
pionship in a different age class,
The Lions Lilac, two world records.
She achieved her other world cham
pionship with her previous produc-
ton record of 742.44 lbs. of butterfat
and 10,752 lbs. of milk in S05 days
made in a test started as yearlins,
This yield, which has not been ex-
ceeded to date by yearling COW of
any breed, gave The Lions Lilac the
highest medal award of the Ameri-
can Jersey Cattle Club, the Medal
of Merit.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Tiff give their
personal attention to their Jersey
herd which rarely numbers more
than twelve milking cows. The sue
cess of the lifts in developing four
1.000-lb. COWS in a herd so small
is an example of what may be ac-
complished by breeders who use dis
cernment in judging the potential
abilities of every animal to be re-
tanned in the herd and who use pro-
gressive methods in the care and
feeding of these animals.

AVERAGE SHEEP PRODUCES
WOOL FOR ONE SUIT A YEAP

How culling and wise attention to
breeding of farm animals may be
expected to produce returns for
farmers is reflected in statistics
gathered by the Bureau of Animal
Industry and published in the cur
rent Yearbook of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
I'm 1840," says E. w. Sheets, in
charge of animal husbandry investi-
cations, "the average weight of
fleece sheared from American sheep
was less than 2 pounds. BY 1900 it
had increased to nearly 51a pounds.
Today it is approaching pounds.
In other words, an average sheep
today grows wool enough each year
to make approximately one suit of
clothes. In 1910 it took the wool of
Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18

four sheep to make a suit of equal
weight and quality"
Better breeding and more rigid
culling of breeding flocks promise
to raise this average still further.
Wool production is similar to such
qualities as heavy milk production in
Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18

dairy cattle and heavy egg produc-
ton by hens. The offspring of
heavy producers are likely to be
heavy producers and to transmit to
their offspring the capacity for
heavy production.
In the case of sheep, Mr.. Sheets
