A farmer of Madison once went to
town to buy a horse and on meeting
a rgnchman said : “Do you know where
I can buy a good hoss?”’
- “I have a horse I'll sell for $38,56
‘cash, sir,” replied the ranchman,
“Will she plow corn?’ inquired the
y farmer. - 3 '
. “You'd be surprised to see that
horse plow corn,” the man answered.
The farmer thought this a great bar
gain and bought it..
The next morning he ‘took the “hoss”
out and hitched her to the plow. She
~wouldn’t budge, willingly nor by
force, so, after trying for fully five
hours in the sun, he took her back to
-the ranchman, 5 |
%I thought you said this hoss would
plow corn,” growled the farmer.
- “No, I didn't,” returned the rancher,
~“Y sald you would be surprised to see
_her plow, and I bet you would, too."—
