What He Meant.

Mr.. Griggsfield was man who
meant well, but was unfortunately adj
dicted to the habit Of saying the
wrong thing at all times and in all cir
eumstances. An acquaintance Of his
had suffered severe injuries in a rail
way wreck, including a broken nose,
the loss of three or four teeth, and a
cash across one of his cheeks; but
his hurts were not serious, and he
was soon on the street again, some
what disfgured, but in good working
order.
One of the first men to greet him
aster his recovery was Mr. Griggs-
field, who grasped him cordially by
the hand and exclaimed:
Hello, Williamsl I understand
you have been pretty badly hurt.
am glad to see you so much i'm
proved"
Later, when he. reflected upon #, he
understood why Mr.. Williams re-
sponded to this greeting with such a
queer smile.-Youth's Companion.

Aside from the moltlAg season,
there is no other time when the hen

tain the heat of her body and keep
her in good health. Corn is the best

be made an exclusive diet. Supply a

While one farmer sows twenty or

put in half as much and get as many
