Famers Who Don't Have Time.

We know farmer who is greatly
pushed for time. He did not have
time to repair a hole in the fence
thru which pigs could go. He looked
at il quite often as he passed by and
it worried him: he hoped the hogs
would not find il before he had time to
go to it and fxe It. a half hours time
would have made the fence good.
The hogs found the hole. First
they greatly damaged a field OF
young corn, then they wallowed for
a while IL the outlet of drain ana
made il necessary 10 spend half
day in cleaning ont that. When they
We're discovered they proved stup-
born. First TWO men. then four. then
almost all the haying force were re-
ouired TO drive them out and TO make
them 90 back the way they had come
in. thru the hole in the fence. II was
exasperating and the man who did not
have time got greatly out OF patience.
The day was not; one fat sO0-pound
pig was specially idiotic; they had 10
run him a great deal Next morning
he was dead-he must have become
overheated. The men had 10 take an
hour to bury him in the pastureheio.
This same man also did not nave
time 10 put his haying tools in re-
pair before the hayins season began.
