over the country for his tough yarns, tell
the following. He-was telling what heavy
wheat he had ssen in the State Of New
York.
my father said he, once had Geld Of
wheat, the heads of which was so close to-
gether, that the wild turkeys when they
came TO eat it, could walk around on top
of it anywhHre.
We suge ssted that the tuikies might
have been small ones.
No, sir continued he, they were very
large ones. shot one of them one day.
and when tosktnld of his legs to carry
him. his head dragged in the snow behind
