upon  the  requirements  of  the  crop.  It  contains  all  the  elements  that  are  necessary,

abundance  of  stalk  of  best  feeding  quality,  and  in  yield  of  well-filled,  decp-kcrncled  cars.

“  What  penance  are  you  doing  In  this  Lenten  sea¬ 
son,  Mrs.  McSlmper?”  asked  the  Rev.  Dr.  Thirdly. 
“Oh,  I  come  to  hear  you  preach  every  Sunday!"  was

Cheshire  owns  the  stupidest  man  in  the  kingdom. 
He  is  a  farm  hand,  and  was  engaged  to  plow  a  10- 
acre  field.  Wishing  him  to  make  a  straight  furrow, 
his  employer  directed  his  attention  to  a  cow  grazing 
right  opposite,  telling  him  to  drive  directly  toward 
that  cow.  He  started  his  horses,  and  his  employer’s 
attention  was  drawn  to  something  else;  but,  in  a 
short  time,  on  looking  round,  he  found  that  the  cow 
had  left  her  place,  while  the  sagacious  plowman  was 
following  her,  drawing  a  zigzag  furrow  all  over  the 
field. — English  Farm  and  Home.
