We once heard an old fellow, famous all over
the country for his tough yarns, tell the fol-
lowing. He was telling what heavy wheat
he had seen in the State of New York:
"My father" said he, "once had field Of
wheat, the heads of which were so close to-
gether that the wild turkies, when they came
to eat il. could walk round on the top fit any
whrere."


We suggested that the turkies must have
been small ones.


"No slr!' continued he-'fhey were very
large ones. shot one of them one Cay, and
when ] took hold Of his legs to carry him, his
head dragged in the snow behind me %


"a curious country you must have had to
have snow in harvest time J"


SWELL ] DECLARE" said he, "looking little
foolish, have got part Of two stories mixed"
