"Rufus has eleven nice hogs and feed enough for them until summer, thanks to the help of Adam in tending the ten-acre river-bottom field, which they made produce more than any one else in the river bend got off of fifty.
Fine notes, too they crackled with a sound like burning the brush off a ten-acre lot." "Let's try the feel of one," said White, curiously. "I never saw a thousand-dollar bill." Keogh did not immediately respond. "Carry," he said, in an absent-minded way, "you think a heap of your art, don't you?" "More," said White, frankly, "than has been for the financial good of myself and my friends."
They are not in fixed possession, but they have control much as a mad bull may be said to have control of a ten-acre lot when he goes on the rampage. Some farmer may hold a legal right to the ten-acre lot, through title deeds or in the shape of a mortgage, and the bull may occupy but one part of it at a time, but he has possession, which is better than the law.
During all this time Mr. Payson had been so occupied in benevolent labor among those whose cabins had been flooded, that it had not occurred to him that he had sustained any damage; but, after the subsiding of the waters, as he took his way down his favorite path through the grove, he saw that the waters had borne away every vestige of fencing around his cherished ten-acre lot.
Next we come to his Excellency the Prime Minister, a renegade American from New Hampshire, all jaw, vanity, bombast and ignorance, a lawyer of "shyster" calibre, a fraud by nature, a humble worshipper of the sceptre above him, a reptile never tired of sneering at the land of his birth or glorifying the ten-acre kingdom that has adopted him salary, $4,000 a year, vast consequence, and no perquisites.

A study of conditions, the application of common-sense methods and untiring energy, he asserts, will enable others to do what he has done, but that most men would kill themselves with the work. In an agricultural exchange a small farmer tells that he makes a living and saves some money from a ten-acre farm.
He got talking with Richmond, old times and all, and he just wanted to come. And the railroad's going through the ten-acre pasture, and Richmond'll get a lot of money." Sabrina's hand rested on the girl's head. "There, dear," she said movingly. "Didn't I tell you? Don't cry till to-morrow, an' maybe you won't have to then." Clelia sat up, wiping her eyes and laughing. "That isn't all," she said.
He raises poultry and small fruits, and says that it is a good combination, as most of the work with poultry comes in winter, while he can do nothing out of doors. He maintains that a ten-acre farm rightly managed will bring a good living, including the comforts and some of the luxuries of life, and says: "This I have fully demonstrated, and what I have done others may do."
