The Only Thing They Use.
Virginia, as everybody knows, is
a State of wonderful and diversified
agricultural wealth, but there are
portions of it where the farms ap
pear to be composed chiefly of rock,
and the thin top-dressing of soil re
quires frequent treatment with fer
tilizers in order to produce any kind
of crop.
As the result of a trade, a man
from Ohio came into possession of a
store in a small town in one of the
rockiest of these sections. His first
proceeding was to take an inven
tory of the stock on hand. Much to
his surprise, he found there was not
a plow in the store. He immediately
dispatched an order for a dozen
plows to the nearest wholesale sup
ply house, fifty or a hundred miles
distant.
The next day he "hitched up" and
took a drive over the neighborhood,
noting the general outlook and mak
ing inquiries among the residents.
On returning to his store, he sent
this message to his wholesale house:
"Cancel order for plows. Send mo
a ton of blasting powder."
"Lf sok here !" exclaimed the old
lady,'-"I want you to take back that
parrot you sold me. I find it sweara
very badly."
4 We?l, madam," replied the dealer,
'it's a very young bird; it'll learn
to s'.vcar better when it's a bit older."
