twins, not knowing that they were
brothers, compared notes until they
established the fact of their rela ton

A Pig Story.


than Senator Dial of South Caro-.
lima that pigs is pigs. He once went
into the pig business down In his
home county and he almost hogged
the county to death.
1t all started one bright spring day
when an energetic county agent came
20 Dial. lightly passed the time of day
and then suggested to the senator
that it would be grand scheme for
him to help the old home county get
on firm agricultural basis by en-
couraging the intensive raising of
turnip greens, radishes. draft horses,
shorthorn cattle. muskrats and rhu-
barb. perhaps. The senator said he
was anxious to help encourage things
agriculturally. but he thought he had
rather concentrate on one line.
Such as?" inquired the agent, bust
nesslike.
We'll, pigs. for instance" Dial said.
The agent thought that an excellent
idea, SO Dial. offhand like, told the
agent to go out and sell pig to every
white man in the county and to say
that Mr.. Dial would take his note for
it. The only string to the transac-
ton was that multiplication among
the pigs should be encouraged. So
the agent went out and in a few days
returned saying he had sold a pig to
every white man in the county.
Fine" said Dial Now go sell one
to every white boy in the county,"
The agent did as bid and eventually
returned and said he had carried out
his orders. despite the fact that the
ed for pigpen room.
"All right" Dial responded. Now
sell pig to every colored man and
boy in the county on the same terms
you sold the pigs to the white folks"
Wearily the agent went forth and
sold the pigs as ordered.
In due season the pigs began to
multiply in manner that was simply
marvellous. At first they could be ac-
commodated merely by setting back
the pigpen lines a little. but soon such
limited space became Inadequate. The
pigs began to overrun the lawns and
the streets. Then they filled the
flower beds. the porches and the dusty
places under the houses where the
hens used to wallow. 1t got SO, in
fact. that it was difficult to walk down
the street without running into
hundred shoats or so.
Then it was decided to kill off the
county's winter supply of meat and
relieve the situation. This was done.
but it had virtually no effect. The
pigs seemed to increase faster than
ever. And the colored folks, unable
to sell their pigs to local butchers,
became panicky and appealed to Dial.
1t certainly began to look as though
the pigs would just naturally take
the place. Finally. some one appealed
to Dial for a suggestion as to how
to get rid Of the pestferous pigs and
when the senator suggested having
Chicago packer send down for them
the folks fell down and called him
blessed. They never had thought OF
shipping a pig out of the county. So
the great packer came and bought the
pigs and the world again was safe.
Now Dial is planning to go into
sheep raising in the same manner that
he raised the pigs. II he carries out
his plan lamb chops should be not
more than 10 cents pound and wool
suits probably will be given away
with every bag of peanuts.
