Joe went to the barn and got a sack.
From the oak grove he managed to
scrape up four sackfuls of leaves
These he placed in a corner of the
fence Then he cut a pole about ten
feet long and ran it cater cornered
through the wires of the two lines of
fence about three feet from the ground.
Several shorter ones were placed be
hind it to the angle formed by the
fence corner post.
With his hatchet he cut pine brush
from the bushes in an old field and
piled them on the poles in the fence
corner, the stems all pointing to the
front, until a thick thatch formed a
sloping roof which would shed rain.
Then he piled more pine brush about
the two sides formed by the converging
wire fence and climbed over and sur
veyed his work.
He had made a cozy rain and wind
proof shelter, and he smiled as he
thought of how those uncared for pigs
of Sullivan's would enjoy it. Across
the road was a spring branch and an
abandoned washtub from the house,
with an approach of dirt banked to its
edge, which, set down and placed in the
field, formed a watering place for the
pigs. Joe thoughtfully put several
large stones in the tub so that the wa
ter was not over five inches deep. In
case one of the pigs fell in it would not
drown.
Next morning Jim Sullivan brought
the pigs, lively, spotted little fellows,
but poor as snakes. Joe turned them
loose in the held, and they began eat
ing the tender joung iye as if they
were famished Jnu scrawny horses
were also nuenously devouring the
green stuff After stipulating that Sul
livan was to fill the water tub each
morning and evening Joe locked the
gate and went up to the house.
"Mother, you and sister come with
me. I've got something to show you,"
he said.
"All right. Come on, Annie," called
Mrs. Weston. And they followed Joe
down the road to his "farm," as they
called the four acres.
"Oh-h, brother, look at those old
horses in your farm! Let's run them
out!" cried Annie.
"Hurry, son! They are just gobbling
your rye."
Joe laughed.
"That's what I put them In there
for. I'm renting it for a pasture for
awhile."
"But they are eating up the rye!" ob
jected his mother.
"That won't hurt it—really benefits
It. Those first shoots nipped off makes
the roots throw out twice as many
more, and makes each plant stronger
and thicker"
"Oh, and there are two horrid little
pigsies in there too! I'll chase them
out for you," said Annie.
"I thought you said that hogproof
fencing would keep them out?" in
quired Mrs. Weston.
"It will—and keep them in too. Those
are my pigs, and I put them in there.
I traded pasturage with Jim Sullivan
for them."
"They are mighty little—and poor,"
observed his mother.
"I feels sorry for them—just look at
their poor little ribses!" said Annie.
Joe Than Started to Hoe a Field of Po
tatoes.
"Which do you like best, sis?"
"That cute little one with the white
face and the curly tail."
"All right that's your pig, and his
name Is John L. Sullivan, and the
other one is named Mike Sullivan."
"Oh, thank you for John L., Buddy!
I just love my pig now!"
"The other one belongs to you,
mother.*'
"Why, I'm obliged to you, son, but I
hardly know what to do with it We
nave no pen, you know."
"You and Annie just save the kitch
en scraps for them. I'll feed them on
this rye and oats awhile, and that will

Jos Works Unceasingly.
ULLIVAN drove on, his ungreas

dismal tune and the shaky wag
on rattling and jingling in all
its joints from being left exposed and
unsheltered in all sorts of weather.

give themli good start TTEen iTTbuild
a pen nearer the house. If we keep
them growing right each one ought to
weigh 300 pounds by next fall."
"But, son, we couldn't use all that
meat"—
"No'm I know that, and I didn't
mean for us to eat them. I wanted you
to have something for your very own—
you and Annie. Those hogs will bring
$15 apiece or maybe more next fall. I
want you and sister to take the money,
every cent of It, and buy you some new
dresses and things."
Tears welled up Into his mother's
eyes. It had been a long time since she
had bought a new dress. Her garments
were really so shabby and rusty that
she would not go to church, and some
unkind little girls had made fun of
Annie at Sunday school not long since,
which sent her home, her little heart
sorely hurting. She danced about In
glee.
"Oh, I'm going to have a velvet cap
with a red feather In it, and a red and
black worsted dress, and a pair of new
shoes, and some stockings that ain't
patched!"she cried, hugging her brother.
"it's mighty good of you, son, to
think of your mother that way," said
Mrs. Weston.
"It isnt half of what I am going to
do when I get a start." answered Joe
stoutly.
"Son, it isn't so much what you do,
but It is the fact that you thought of
your mother and sister and wanted to
help them that makes me happy," smil
ed his mother.
"Well, I just saw a chance to pick up
something that would give you and sis
something all your very own. It—it
gives a person a heap more interest In
everything to own something, don't It?*
"Indeed it does, Joe."
Joe then started to hoe a field of po.
tatoes. Then he returned to his pigs.
John L. and Mike, now filled to re
pletion, sought the shelter Joe had con
structed for them and snuggled among
the dry leaves with many contented
grunts.
"Ain't you going to feed 'em. Buddy?"
"Not now—just a few scraps from
the house and maybe a nubbin of corn
a day for variety. This rye is-about all
they need."
"Why, that won't fatten them," said
Mrs. Weston.
"No'm, but that government bulletin
says it's a waste of feed to try to fat
ten hogs under eight months old If
they are to be kept until they area
year old. All we want to do is to give
them enough to keep them healthy and
growing fast, and that green feed will
do it. It will build up a good strong
frame to hang all that fat on during
the last three months."
"Pigs is dirty beasts," announced
Annie, as If she bad discovered some
thing new.
"Because the people that own them
put them in nasty, little, muddy pens,
keep pouring swill and slops in there
and never give it a chance to dry out
Hogs don't like filth."
"And they wallows In mudholes!"
urgued Annie.
"They do that to kill the flies and In
sects that bother them and to keep cool
in summer. Mud isn't filthy. Give a
hog a good range for pasture and clean
water to drink and he Is clean as a
cow."
Annie was not convinced.
"They eats nasty slops," she an
nounced crushlngly.
"If the slops are nasty it's the fault
of the people that give them to the
hogs. Pigs naturally graze like cows
and horses and would rather eat nice
green grass or grain than slops any
time," said Joe.
"I never knew that before," remark
ed his mother "but come to think of
It, they always do seem to be eating
something off the ground."
"It's grass and weeds and roots and
such stuff. And they don't mind a nice
fat cricket or a grasshopper either,"
said Joe.
As the three strolled back to the
house Mrs. Weston looked over in the
field behind the barn. There was Mr.Minnie
Weston with the two horse turning
plow breaking about five acres of land
as deeply as he could sink the plow.
"Well, I never!" she exclaimed. "This
Is the first time I ever heard of your
father breaking any land before March.
Joe, I wonder what put him in that
notion?"
"He seen Buddy doing it announc
ed Annie, with an air of conviction.
His mother and sister continued to
ward the house, and Joe went to
where his father was steadily plowing.
"What you going to plant, daddy?"
be asked. Mr. Weston grinned a bit
sheepishly.
"I ain't never thought about plantin'
oats till I seen you do it and I just
flggered I could foller the oats with
late corn, an' maybe some peavine hay
for these critters, and make a double
crop on the land. It's pretty late to
be plantin' oats, though, ain't It? You
don't s'pose it's too late, do you?"
It was the first time his father had
ever recognized him as knowing any
thing at all about farming, and to be
asked as an authority compensated for
a whole lot of things.
"No. sir they'll 'make' all right If
I were you I'd cross break this land,
and I'll harrow it for you tomorrow."
"Exactly what I was goin' to do."
said his father.
"And, daddy, if you want to, you can
turn those horses in on my rye nights
when Sullivan's horses are off. I think
some green stuff would help them a
whole lot."
"Now, that's mighty clever, son—
an' you needn^t pay for the use of the
wagon fo haul that fertilizer in, nor
for the use of the harrow and horse."
"Thank you, sir. I'm going up now
and see how much seed oats I have
left—I think there Is a bushel and a
half. You may have 'em—It will save
you just that much."
His father's eyes followed him up
the hill toward the house. Joe felt
nearer to his father than he could
ever recall before—more on an equality
as a comrade with him.
"Glddap, Baldy!" called Tom Weston
to the lazy one of his team. "Baldy, I
thought that boy was actin' the fool
about these leaves an' stuff an' this
here deep plowin*. It ain't him, Baldy:
It's me. Giddap! By granny, I got to
be makln' up for a lot of time I've lost
by beln' pigheaded."
That night Joe got down his account
book. One page he had headed "Ex
pense," and there he carefully entered
every cent paid out for posts, wire, la
bor, seed. On the opposite side he
wrote the heading "Income" for the
first results of his farming operations
that had come in the shape of two
scrawny little pigs.
"Received from J. Sullivan two spot
ted pigs six weeks old value. $2 each
total, $4," he entered. On another page
he headed, "J. Weston in acct with
Weston & Somerville." He had taken
the pigs in for the firm, but presented
both to his mother and sister.
"To one of the Sullivan pigs." he
wrote under his individual account,
then paused. He started to charge the
pig at the two dollar value, but at once
put the thought from him.
"One of those pigs is mine the other
is Mr. Somerville's. If I take his pig
and make a present of It I should settle
with Mr. Somerville at what the pig
would be worth when he and I settle
In the fall. I'll pay for it out of my
share of the crop," he said to himself.
Then he picked up the pen.
"To one of the Sullivan pigs, $15," he
wrote.
