SCOTCH LOGIC.
A Scotch minister was startled by the original views of a not very skilful ploughman whom he had just hired. He noticed that the furrows were far from straight, and said : ‘John, yer drills are no near straucht ava, that is no like Tammie’s wark'— ‘Taninlie’ being the person who had previously plowed the glebe. ‘ Tammie didna ken his wark,’ observed the man, coolly, ns he turned his team about; ‘ye see, when the drills is crookit, the sun gets in on a’ sides, an’ so ye get early tatties.’
