Every time l go to southern Cali fornia," said Richard C. Worthington, T see something that makes me open my eyes farther and take off my hat to the progressiyeness of those fellows out there.
 But on this last trip, he continued, V witnessed piece of enterprise which exceeds anything which ever saw or heard of. or ever expected to see or hear of
 T was travelling in the country be tween San Francisco and Los Angeles one day. when I was impressed by the size of some hogs in a pigpen near the road. was especially impressed be- cause on my previous trips the razor back quality of the pork had caused me to comment This time. however, the hogs were as big as barrels.
 How did you do 1t? l asked the farmer. who was bending over the bars of the pig pen picking his teeth with a piece of straw.
 "Well, ye see It's this here way, stranger replied the agriculturist. Them hawgs just clean run the fat all or of 'emselves diggn' for acorns They sort of had competition with them danged woodpeckers who'd gob. ble up the acorns and store em away in hole in fence post or rail, and there wouldn't be anything left for the hawgs.
 got to thlnkin the matter over, and calculated that 1t was up to me to sting them 'woodpeckers, so rig ged up sort of birdhouse and filled the front of it all full with holes about the size of the holes them birds put their acorns in the fence. Then built me a long tube leadin' down from them holes to the feedln' trough, and bided my time till them birds got wise to the contrivance.
 If didn't take 'em long. Before s little while they was pilin acorns into them Ter holes as if they was getting ten cents an hour, and the acorns was a-rnnniI' right down the pipe to the pigs mouth.
 That's the way I got them pigs nice and fat. mister. All they have to do now is to lay around by the trough and the birds feeds em Purty good idea. ain't it?'"
