Curious Farms.

In Japan flourish two Of the oldest
farms imaginable. From one there
proceeds each year a crop Of tens of
thousands Of swapping turtles. This
farm has, it appears, solved the prob
lem of preserving the supply of what,
to the Japanese, is as great delicacy
as diamond-back terrapin to the Amer
leans.
The farm consists Of number of
ponds. Certain of these are set apart
as breeding grounds. Once day men
60 over the shores and with little wire
baskets, cover up all new egg deposits.
Sometimes thousands Of the wire bas-
kets are In sight at time, marking
the places where the eggs lie and pre-
venting the turtles from scratching
the earth from them.

The Blot on the 'scutcheon

Sam Langford, the black blot on
the 'scutcheon of Jess Willard, will
celebrate another birthday tomorrow
and gee, how he hates it. Than says
he was born in Weymouth, Nova SEQ
tia, March 4. 1886, which would make
him thirty, but there are those who
say he is nearer forty than thirty.
The Tar Baby is as coy about his age
as a CELL. Langford, as is well known,
is the senior member of the firm of
Langford, McVey, Jeannette and
Wills, colored knockabout artists.
Jeanette is now rather a silent part
ner, and Langford seems bent on dis
rupting his amicabIe relations with
the Junior Wills, as he knocked him
out in New Orleans last month, re-
peating the stunt he pulled off at
Vernon n 1914, although n the n
terval Wills had outpointed Than.
The Tar Baby continued on chubby
terms with Sam McVey, their eleventh
meeting, staged recently in New York,
going to a draw. Langford is nearly
a fot brefer of stature than Willard,
which would make a match with Jess
seem a joke. At that, it may be just
as we'll that mixed bouts are on the
index prohibitorious. Given the
chance to win the big title that has
so long eluded his ardent wooing,
Than might give thew hite race a
rude jolt.
