A gain of 17 per cent In milk pro
duction of 20 per -cent in butterfat
production in daughters over their
dams because of tho uso of a puro
bred ibull Is tho striking result ob
tained in a certain cow testing as
sociation which has a bull association
as a subsldary. Tho records of 21
cows compared with tho records of
UioJr 21 daughters after the latter
had become mature cows. Tho aver
ago production of tho dams for one
year was 5,560 pounds of milk and
219 pounds of, butterfat. The daught
ers averaged C.523 pounds of milk and
2G3 pounds of butterfat, a gain over
tho mothers of 063 pounds of milk
and 44 pounds of fat. In Uio associa
tion every one of, tho daughters sired
by ono of the threo association bulls
was better than her dam.

Early varieties of oats have out
yielded lato varieties almoBt ten
bushels per acre over a fourteen year
tost at tho Agricultural College ex
periment station at Lincoln. Among
tho early varieties tho Burt has been
tho highest ylelder with Texas Red
and Nebraska No. 21 a selection of
Kherson oats, very clo3o behind.
Both the Burt and Texas Red oats
aro brownish to brownish red oats'
and aro objected to by some farmers
where they must be sold on tho mar
ket. Tho Nebraska No. 21 oats Is a
white selection made by the Nebras
ka experiment station. At Lincoln this
selection has outyielded ordinary
Kherson an average of five bushel3
during a seven year test. They have
also made a good showing over the
state. Last season fields of Nebras
ka No. 21 oats were inspected, cer
tified and a pure seed list made up
of fields that passed. A list of these
certified fields can De secured by
writing the Agricultural College, Lincoln.
testing associations aro certainly
showing me up, and I can see the
handwriting on tho wall. My trlble
is doomed! Under tho keen competi
tion and low prices of good puro bred
bulls there will soon bo no place on
tho farm for me. So, goodbye. I may
bo gone but not' forgotten, for I have
retarded tho development of the dairy
industry for many years. J. E. Dor-man.
They call me a scrub bull; yet I
have a pedigree. I was sired by a
scrub, dam'd by a Bcrub, and am
treated like a scrub, and I some
times think that I am owned by i
scrub- My tribe outnumbers pure
bred bulls four to one. Just why I
should exist is a mystery oven to me. j
Yet, I am not responsible for it. I
was brought into tho world without
my consent and I shall probably
leave it against my will. In the mean
time I am getting the most vicious
publicity, principally through the ,
farm press. They say I am a renegade ,
and an abomination, and should be ,
exterminated. Dairymen passing my
owner's farm look at mo with con-'
tempt; even the cows show me no,
respect. My own daughters seem to (
hold a grudge against me, saying that
I am responsible for their low pro
duction. I cannot argue the point, for
it Is true. But what can I do? My
owner must think a lot of me person
ally, or ho would not continue to sup
port me, knowing that I can never

Soybeans in corn aro proving to be
a satisfactory crop for hogging off"
according to reports received at the
Agricultural College from men in
eastern Nebraska who grew this com
bination last year. Thirty-seven ous
of forty-seven men voted that putting
soybeans in corn was a good practice
last Beason. They expect to grow
more next year. The housewife hag
long followed the practice of cooking
starchy and protein foods for a meal.
Just as succotash of corn and beans
is a good combination for human food
so corn and soybeans make a good
hog feed. On farms where alfalfa or
clover hog pasturo Is lacking, the
combination is particularly good. An
early variety of soybeans such as Ito
San, Habaro, Black Eyebrow, Manchu
and others should- bo selected. Al
though tho best results aro secured
when the beans aro planted with a
special bean attachment for planters,
they can be mixed with the cprn, if
ofton stirred to prevent the beans
from settling to tho bottom. Surface
planting, putting tho beans In rather
shallow, is to bo preferred over list
ing. Four to six pounds of beans per
acre is enough when planted with
corn at tho regular rate. Although
there is little experimental data to
show the effect of the beans on the
corn yield, only four of the forty-six
men thought thero was any decrease
due to beans. The Agricultural Col
logo will furnish additional informa
tion regarding soybeans.

The Kidnaped
Peasant Girl
By R. RAY BAKER
RAY C. LANOFORD, Clerk
ED XIKRIG, Auctioneer
if
, ltli. by McClur Nwipap.r Syndicate.
It was all very well, this being kid
naped, until the masked man at the
wheel of the nuto tried to kiss her.
Then the girl let out a scream that
tho vulley walls hurled back und forth
through the pine woods.
The kidnaper hnd drawn up beside
the road, and without n word had
placed' his arm around the girl, lm
plnnting a smacking kiss full on her
red lips. Until now it hnd seemed like
a grand lark, but after that well, she
really was frightened now.
The mun wns In garments evidently
Intended to proclaim him ns a knight,
but it wns rather Inconsistent attire,
lie wore army legglns over blue trou
sers, and a striped blouse of red and
yellow. A sword with a dented scab
bard hung from his wnist, und a pink
domino with a red hood surmounting
all. The face was clean-shaven and
the part that showed was not at all
repulsive.
The girl appenred to be a peasant
ot central Europe. Her face well,
the red Hps nnd dimples were all that
could be seen, becnuse she wns masked,
too, with a thin strip of white.
When tho girl screamed the man
released her and appenred tuken
aback.
"Why, what's the matter?" ho nsked.j
astonishment in the voice, which' de
cidedly wns not gruff.
"Matter?" she exclaimed indignant
ly. "Don't you think you are carrying
this escapade a little too far?"
"Too far?" he echoed. "You don't
mean to say that a man hnsn't the
right to kiss the girl he Is eloping
with, do you?"
She laughed scornfully.
"Eloping? Seems you're taking a
lot for granted. Perhaps you're In
sane. Yes, I think "thnt's It. No man
In his right mind would talk nnd act
like you."
Gnrvln Haskell really was puzzled
by the girl's behavior. What was the
matter with Maxlne? Hadn't she
agreed to elope from the costume ball
with him Hnd she changed her mind
after all the carefully arranged plans?
Well, he knew she was fickle, but It
did not seem rensonnble thnt she
would bnck out now.
There wns no good renson for an
elopement, anyhow. Mnxine's parents
were dend, and Garvin's folks never
had displayed an Inclination to meddle
In his affairs of the heart. He had
enough money In his own right to
care for a wife, and In fact his fnther
nnd mother were rnther anxious for
him to settle down.
But Mnxinc had Insisted on eloping,
in order to have a taste of romance.
She wanted to surprise her aunt, with
whom she was staying while visiting
In Sarendnc, for one thing, and she
wanted some excitement when she
took the marrlnge vows.
Gnrvln hnd been trying ever since
he became acqunlnted with her two
months ago to Induce her to have
him. She hnd put him off, laughing
until the time came for the mnsked
bnll.
"Yes, I'll marry you, Garve," she
said, "but it's got to be an elope
ment. You dress as n knight and I'll
be a peasnnt girl. After the fifth
dance I'll meet you under the big oak
tree on the lawn and we'll elope. The
arrangements for a minister, of course,
ure up to you."
"And I'll call when?" Inquired the
elated Gnrvln.
"You won't call at all," she said.
"I'll go to the dance with some of
the girls, nnd you go alone. That'll
make It more romantic."
Gnrvln made the necessary ar
rangements, which Included marrlnge
by a minister In the neighboring town
of Charlotte. He dressed as a knight
to the best of his ability and went
to the dance alone. And there wns
his beloved, dressed In the peasant
costume, exactly fitting the descrip
tion Maxlne had given him. Yes. she
hnd met him under the oak at the ap
pointed time, nnd he had carried her
off in the auto. And when he pulled
up beside the road to claim n kiss as
his just due she screamed.
They sat in silence for a few mo
ments after the conversation that fol
lowed the scream, and It began to
dawn on Garvin that there must be n
mistake somewhere.
"Would you mind removing your
mask?" he nsked the girl.
"Not If you will do the same," she
answered.
For reply he removed the domino
nnd at once the girl lifted the cambric.
Yes, It wns Maxlne. In tho pnle moon
light her countenance showed up as
lovely ns ever, except that It seemed
n trifle older, but, no doubt, that was
due to the shock of being almost
kissed. That wns not quite consistent
either, for Gnrvln never hnd supposed
Maxlne to bo thnt unsophisticated. He
scrutinized her closely, and she re
turned the stare. Yes, It wns Mnxine's
eyes, nnd the nose nnd hnlr were
hers. Rut why tho change in her at
titude? "Maxlne," ho began, clearing his
thront, "I don't "
"Maxlne I" she exclaimed. "I'm not
Maxlne. What made you think I
wns?"
The moon's rays became brighter
now, due to tho shifting of some
clouds, nnd the girl's face showed
plainer. Yes, there was a difference.
She was older, that wus certuia al
though not much older.
"Well, how what " ho stammered.
"Thnt's what I say," she exclaimed.
"How what "
"It's got me bent," he declured. "Do
you happen to know Mnxluc Hrooks?"
"I certainly do. She's my younger
sister. Hut she left town yesterday
shortly ufter I arrived to visit Aunt
Sarah."
Garvin's heart sank. So this wns
the outcome of tho cnrefully laid
elopement plans. He stepped on the
starter nnd turned the enr out In the
rond, bending It for Snrendnc. For
sonic time as they rode along no words
pussed between them.
So Mnxluc had gone bnck on him I
Well, he didn't understand It, but he
wasn't going to piny the fool by asking
questions.
Rut the car took n hand In the game.
A rear tire went Hat and Gnrvln had
to mend a puncture because the extra
was at a vulcanizing station undergo
ing repairs. It was fully an hour be
fore the car was ready, and then, aft
er going the distance of a block, It
stopped and could not be Induced to
move. With a flashlight Garvin ex
plored In the hood, but was unable to
remedy matters. Tho girl tried to
help und got dabbed with grease, but
she didn't seem to mind.
"I'm just a peasant, anyway," she
said, smiling.
No, she wns not Maxlne. Sho was
too willing to help and too patient.
Maxlne would have fretted and fumed
and made no effort to help matters.
Garvin was beginning to like tho girl.
"Well, I can't fix it," he Anally ad
mitted as he walked away from the
hood and tripped for the fourth time
on the dangling scabbard. While she
laughed merrily he detached the sword
and threw it on tho car floor. "We're
miles from any habitation, and this Is
an unfrequented road. It's more ro
mantic thun the main thoroughfares,
that's why Maxlne wanted why I
chose It."
"Then there's nothing to do but
spend the night here," snid the girl.
"It Isn't very proper, but circum
stances don't recognize proprieties."
She" curled up on the sent, while
Garvin tried to make himself com
fortable on the running board. Yes,
Mnxine's sister was extremely llke
uble. Why hadn't he met her flrst7
They stayed awake by conversing
on various subjects, which became
more and more personal as the hours
pussed.
"Please tell me how It happened
my kidnaping you Instead of your
sister," Gnrvln Anally urged.
"Before I left home," said the girl,
"I had a talk with Mnxine's former
flnnce, with whom she quunclcd Bomo
time ugo. He gave mo u message and
when Muxlne received It she went
buck to marry hlui. She asked mo
to substitute for her at the bnll nnd
said she would arrange for me to meet
a very nice man under the oak tree.
I didn't know about the elopement
plan, of course, and I thought It
would be Just a lark. And It seems
I thought right."
They became better acquainted,
while the frogs warbled In tho nearby
marsh and Luna sank beneath the
western horizon. When dawn crept
up from tho east the girl yawned and
hud an Idea.
"Did you look at the battery
wire?"
Garvin had not, but he did, and
found It loose. Remedying the
trouble, he stepped on tho starter,
then paused to remark:
"Love nt Arst sight U wonderful,
Isn't It? Shall we de It mow?"
Her answer wus Inaudible, but when
the machine rolled ulong tho road It
carried two elopers toward Charlotte.
