Well, if you want to see . a sheepfold look at any merino sheep, which accounts for the way the folds show on them. When merino sheep werd made, hide was cheaper than mutton and ‘wool was a drug on the market. So a wee bit of sheep was wrapped In several sheepskins, necessitating a lot of over- laps. It seems easier to shir a sheep than to shear one. ' There is an old rhyme which speaks of the “folded- flock” Those must have been merinos. It Is some nifty stunt to de-wool a merino and leave on more of the hide than of the wool. It is the only accordion plaited sheep In the solar system.

The Southdown, Oxforddown, Shrop- shire-down, ete., are sheep with clean dresses and dirty hands and faces.

GOLDFISH MARKET OF JAPAN Korlyama and Tokyo Are Leading Centers of Industry From Which Good Returns Are Gained. Korlyama 1s known throughout Japan as the great gold-fish market, the city of Tokyo ranking next in im- portance, says a correspondent. The waters around the former city seem particularly suitable for the culture of the many kinds of gold fish. Generally speaking the gold fish hay |. eggs in April, the eggs being hatched in four or five’days. No food is glven the younglings for three days, but they are then fed finely ground yolks of eggs mixed with water, the yolks be- ing first boiled then strained through silk cloth. This diet is later changed to the larvae of mosquitoes. The most valuable fish s called the “Lion Head,” which gets its name from the crests or head fins that have the appearance of a lion’s mane. Three-year-old fish of this variety com- mand prices ranging from §5 to $20. It is the usual custom to keep the fish in glass bowls, although the fish cannot fully develop under such cir- " cumstances. Flat boxes made of wood ’ free from lye or shallow cement ponds are considered ideal for keeping the fish. owners. Write M.

They said‘if they were obliged to be with him they would kill him. - Sauer was examined as to his fit- ness physically for the army and when Marshal Jester asked if there was any doubt of Sauer passing, was informed that Sauer would go into military training and that any fool- ishness would be dealt with severely. Sauer believed that if he did pull any of his stunts all he would get would be six months in the county jail, but he was told if he attempted to escape enroute to Jefferson bar- racks he would be backed up against a stone wall and shot some bright morning, as Uncle Sam had him now. “He was the best slacker I ever saw or heard of,” commented Sheriff Johnson.

About the year 552 two Perslan monks stole furtively out of China with scanty luggage, but treasuring an ordinary bamboo cane. They set out on foot and made their way from China into Europe. In that cane were a mul- titude of the eggs of the silkworm moth, which the monks had stolaw They carried them to Constantinop¥®. When the time came for the hatch- ing of the eggs the monks tended the little caterpillars, fed them on the leaves of the mulberry, took their co- coons when they spun, and from them derived the first silk produced in Eu- rope. Silk had for centuries before been a treasure of China, and its man- ufacture, like the insects which pro- duced it, was jealously guarded. The monks, while on a missionary enter- prise to China, had witnessed the whole process of silkworm rearing and the Remember, Wed., “Wheatless Day” | Remember, Tuesday, “Meatless.

Second Street, One of the thrilling and hazardous duties which sometimes falls to the lot of game experts and wardens in mountainous regions of the West 1s to search out eagles’ nests, rob them of their eggs, and perhaps take the young captive, says Popular Mechan- ics Magazine. The perils of the task are not all passed when, with a rope ladder or by other precarious means, he has ascended or descended to the aerle, for then the intruder must face the powerful grown birds at close range; and often when he cannot de- fend himself to advantage, The searcher for the lofty nests also finds that the young fifty or sixty days old, can become disagreeably aggressive.
