The Sorehead. When Grouch comes home, at close of day, From sawing wood or shucking hay, He's in a frame of mind, He roasts the work he has to do, He roasts the housewife, good and true, And says things most unkind. He roasts the grub he has to eat. He roasts the milk for being sweet. The slaw for being sour: And when the meal is done he sits In gloomy state, and throws some fits, And growls hour after hour. The baby laughs and makes him mad. The children worry poor old dad, He knows where there's a club! The wife goes round with weary tread And wishes she had never wed That sort of dismal dub. Awiser man is Billiam Bunn, Who, when the long day's work is done, Goes home in cheery mood! He chortles and he cries: 'Gee whiz! How good this nifty supper is," As he throws in the .food. The children greet him with a yell: They love their daddy passing well, And he loves them some more! His wife's been waiting for a while To give him welcome and her smile Is wider than the door. The humble home where gladness dwells, Where kind eyes smile and laughter swells, Is Heaven, simmered down! But home is like the other place If on disgruntled father's face There hnngs a chronic frown. 1 Walt Mason.

This per centage in yield was equivalent to an aveer age increase of the two years tests of 8.7 bashels per acre. These results certainly enmphasize the importance of seeding the wheat in the Piedmont Section during the latter part of Oc tober or as soon as possible after a light frost has occurred.
