Corns are of two kinds. Vegetable and animal.
Vegetable corns grow in rows, and animal corns
grows on toes There are several kinds of corn !;
there is unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgers, field
corn and toe corn, which is corn you feel most.
1t is said, believe, that gophers like corn, but
persons having corns do not like to ego far" if
they can help it. Corn have kernels, and some
Colonies have corns. Vegetable CORES grow on
ears, but animal corn grows on the feet at the
other end of the body. Another kind of corn is
acorns; these grow on oaks, but there is hoax
about the corn. The acorn is corn with an in
definite article, bat the Germ is very definite
article indeed. Try it and sec Many man
when he has corn wishes it was an acorn. Folks
that have corns sometimes send for doctor, and
it the doctor himself is corned he won't do 80
well as if he isn't The doctors say corns are
produced by tight boots and shoes, which is pro-
badly the reason why when n man is tight they
say he is corned. If farmer manages well be
can get good deal of corn on one acre, but
know farmer that has one corn that makes the
biggest acher on his farm. The bigger crop Of
vegetable corn raises the better he likes it,
but the bigger crop Of animal corn he raises the
better he does not like it. Another kind of corn
is corn dodger. The way it is made is very sim
pie and is as follows: You 60 along the street
and meet man you know has a corn, and is
rough character then you step on his toe that
has the on it, and see if lie don't have occa.
sion to dodge it. In that way you will find out
what corn dodger is.
