hoax about the corn. The acorn is corn
with an indefinite article, but the toe corn
is a very definite article indeed. Try it and
see. Many a man when he has a corn he
wishes it was an acorn. Folks that have
COINS sometimes send for a doctor, aud if
the doctor himself is corned, he won't do
as well as if he isn't. Doctors say that
corns are produced by tight boots or shoes,
which is probably the reason why when a
man is tight thy say he isscorned. If a
farmer manages we'll he can get a good
deal of corn on an acre, but | know a farm

vegetable corn a man raises the better he
likes it, but the bigger tn crop of animal
