A local celebrity asked his son what leaf he proposed to turn over and the lad re plied, “I’d as lief leave the leaf right where the leaf was left” and the old man is still puzzling it out. A heavy smoker quizzed his wife as to what leaf she thought of having a go at and got it in the neck when she promptly and pointedly informed him that she had her eye on the tobacco leaf. Yes, we all know of some thing to suggest to the other fellow

Oh, I love to milk the gentle eow, as she chews her cud with placid brow, and I love to rise at early morn, to barge through muck in the chilly dawn. Yes, I love the milking game all through, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, too. I love the Hick ot the untied tail and the restless hoof that kicks the pail, the splash of milk is as sweet to me as the song of birds in fuschia tree. When the sun sinks low in the western sky I stretch my limbs with a tired sigh, and say as I mop my sweating brow, Thank God for the good old milking cow. Do you' ask me why I love all this and why th” milking to me is bliss? I love it I’d like to have you know, for the monthly cheque from THE TAIERI CO.
