her face, and then she summoned all
her love for Rickshaw, and all her res
oldtion, and made a bolt for the hole
in the pen. She was about twice as
large around as the hole was. but she
stuck her head into the hole and
pulled and pushed and wriggled and
squirmed! Rickshaw said he would
never have believed it if he hadn't
seen it with his own eyes, but that
pig actually squeezed through that lit.
tie hole! OF course the effort per-
manently elongated the pig. When
Bedelia emerged she was at least ten
feet long. and not over IL inches In
circumstance: but she was happy.
Rickshaw said that after that he
saw that Bedelia had a love that
would overcome all obstacles. and he
hadn't the heart to close the hole
In the pen, and As the days. and
months went by, and Bedelia grew
and grew. she naturally had to have
her growth in relation to the size Of
that hole. and Rickshaw fed her SO
well that she became one Of the heav-
lest weight pigs he had ever seen, but
the weight had to run to length be-
cause Bedelia couldn't be any bigger
around than that hole in the pen. The
result was that the first thing Rick
shaw knew. Bedelia was 40 feet long.
and had a waist and chest measure of
exactly IL inches. She was SO long
that she could put her head on his
knee in the boat-house. while her tail
was wagging with joy in the pen, 40
feet up the river bank.
All would have been well. however.
for Rickshaw had come to love Be-
della as Bedelia loved him, If the big
flood had not come on last Wednesday
night. Rickshaw had put Bedelia in
the pen and had gone to bed in his
boat-house. and was asleep when the
cloud burst came, about 2 a. m. The
first thing he knew was the rocking
of the boat-house. and he sprang to
the deck to jump ashore, for II the
house-boat ever broke loose and
dashed itself over the dam he would
have been drowned. But he was too
late. Already the cable had parted,
and Rickshaw gave himself up for
lost. when. with q squeal. Bedelia
made a leap and grabbed the main
mast in her teeth. The current car
ried the boat on. but more slowly.
and then Rickshaw noticed that Be-
della had not come entirely aboard
her tail was wrapped around one Of
the trees 20 feet up the bank.
The force Of the current was ter
rife. but Bedelia held on. The
strain on Bedelia was awful, but she
held on. Eighty feet. 100 feet, zoo
feet. the river bore the houseboat
down stream. and then Bedelia's body
refused to stretch any more. Would
she break! But no! The houseboat
swung slowly shoreward. touched the
bank. and Rickshaw sprang ashore
and tied to a tree. Then he gathered
up Bedelia. Poor. faithful little pig
she was stretched into q length of
200 feet, and one inch through.
Rickshaw Phipps walked to town
and borrowed . hose reel, and reeled
the 200 feet of Bedelia on it, and
as he did SO she smiled lovingly at
him. 1t was her last smile. On the
road to town she lapsed into uncon-
seriousness. and Dr. Tropp could do
nothing for her. He said her consti-
tuition had been stretched out too
long and thin.

Greatest Year For Farmer

Most prosperous of all years is the
place to which 1909 is entitled in agri-
culture, declares Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson i'll his thirteenth annual
report, made pubic. The value of farm
products is SO incomprehensible large
that it has become merely row of
figures For this year it is So, 76O, 600,
900, gain of $369,OOO, 900 over 1908
The value of the products has nearly
doubled in ten years.
The report says: Eleven years of
agriculture, beginning with produc-
tion of 81, AT, OO0O0O and ending with
So, 760, 100000! A sum of $40, 900, 600, 600
for the period! 1t has paid off mort
cages, it has established banks, it has
made better homes, it has helped to
make the farmer Il citizen of the world,
and it has provided him with means
for improving Ei5 soil and making it
more productive"
The most striking fact in the worlds
agriculture is the value of the corn crop
of 1900, which is about 81, 72O, 600, 900.
1t nearly equals the value of the cloth
ing and personal adornments of 10000,
600 people, according to the census of
1900. This crop exceeds in value the
average of the crop of the five proceed :
ing years by 36 per cent.
Cotton is now the second crop in
value, and this years cotton crop is
easily the most valuable one to the
farmer that has been produced.
