With the new year Just
around the corner It's a
temptation to review the pit
falls OF farming that befell
us in 1851, but let's be cheer
full instead and review some
farm humor of the past year.
THERE WAS. for example,
the story of the hard-headed
farmer who was visited by
a distant relative from the
big city who was a corpora
ton Statistician by profession
and knew all the answers.
While they were humping
along in the farmers pickup
one afternoon, the statisti-
clan decided to have some
fun with his country cousin.
Lets ask each other rid
dies" he proposed. "When-
ever I miss a riddle I'll give
you two dollars and whenever
you miss, you hand me two
dollars"
wal, I dunno" said the
hard-headed farmer. "You
work with figures and you
know more than I know. But
tell you what I'll do. When
I lose, I'll give you a dollah."
That sounded reasonable
enough to the city man. so
the farmer said he'd start
with the first riddle.

the owner shouted out the
highest bid of all. and the
auctioneer, bewildered, had
to award the sow to him.
Later he asked the farmer
why he had bought it back.

this big SOW would be getting
a tremendous buy.
AS the auctioneer talked,
the bidding went up and up.
He was pleased and cast a
glance at the sow's owner,
but was astonished to see
that the owner was sitting on
the edge of his bench in a
