Old Farmer’s Riddle; Why is the letter A like 12 o’clock?
Answer below.)
. Ask the Old Farmer: I would
give me the recipe on how to
it as a chilcl years ago^and
thoroughly dried. It takes
months to oet it hard and wrinkled as it should be. Then, our
folks used to shell it and put it into an iron frying pan on the
stove. Keep shaking the com around as it browns until you
have the color you want. When properly parched it should
break between the teeth about the same as a roasted peanut,
