TELLS ABOUT. MERINo SHEEP
Writer Accounts for Thicl; Folds in

~. ..@ sn.- Popular Breeds. M g.

Just about every SO often I get to
feeling sheepish, as it were, and have
to write something to show my famil-
iarity with those animals, says Strick-
land Gillian in Farm Life.
The other day I saw my wife cook.
Ing leg Of lamb, Now and then she
would open the door of the oven and
flip some water over the meat. a
Thus I learned how, when we start
to roast somebody, we may be said to
be giving him lamb-basting.
You have often heard Of sheepfolds,
haven't you? Well, if you want to see
sheepfold look at any merino sheep,
which accounts for the way the folds
show on them. @## @@ +
When merino sheep wer9 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 lot Of over
laps. It seems easier to shir 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 merino and leave
on more Of the hide than Of the wool.
It is the only accordion plated sheep
in the solar system. If merinos had
been washed in green persimmon juice
all their lives they couldn't have been
puckereder.
Evidently their mammas didn't use
Chat kind of) soap.
The Southdown, Oxforddown. Shrop'
shire-down, ETC., are sheep with clean
dresses and dirty hands and faces.
The only sheep that wear bustles
are the fat rumped sheep now being
raised at the state college at Brook
ings, S. D. They carry a trailer,
something like locomotive, only there
isn't a tender behind, except for eating
purposes.

GOLDFISH MARKET OF JAPAN
Koriyama and Tokyo Are Leading
Centers of Industry From Which
Good Returns Are Gained.

Koriyama is known throughout
Japan as the great goldfish market,
the city Of Tokyo ranking next in I'M
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 lay
eggs in April, the eggs being Matched
in four or five days. No food is given
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 is called
the :'Lion Head" which gets it's name
from the crests or head fins that have
the appearance of a lions name.
Three-year-old fish Of this variety COM
mand prices ranging from SIS to $2O.
1t is the usual custom to keep the
fish in glass bowls. although the hsh
cannot fully develop under such cir
cumstances. Flat boxes made of wood
free from I've or shallow cement ponds
are considered ideal for keeping the
fish

Monks and the SiIl<Worm.

About the year $50 two Persian
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 q null
titude Of the eggs Of the silkworm
moth, which the monks had stol&h
They carried them to ConstantinoDaA.
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 jealousy guarded. The
monks, while on missionary enter
prise to China, had witnessed the whole
process of silkworm rearing and the
manufacture Of silk.

Experts Perilous Task.

One of the thrilling and hazardous
duties which sometimes falls to the
lot of game experts and wardens In
mountainous regions Of the West Is
to search out eagles nests, rob them
Of their eggs, and perhaps take the
young captive, says Popular Mechan-
les 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
aerie, for then the intruder must face
the powerful grown birds at close
range, and often when he cannot de-
fend himself to advantage. Tho

Perhaps, too, they will sing what is
mas carol, dating from the Anglo-Nor-
man days Of the thirteenth century,
which begins:

To seek Christmas.
IN this mansion 11e are told

This carol ends with the toast of
those days:
Here, then, bid you all wassail,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail." Wassail'' meaning your health
and "drinkhail' being the usual and
courteous acknowledgment.
One Of the best known Of all the old
carols, although not one Of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate in 1903
and is called the "Song Of the Angels"

For hundreds of years the above
holy trinity have enslaYed and
robbed the poor Mexican to the low
est point of degradation. But now he
is awakening and striving to throw
off that terrible yoke of ignorance
and superstition. Should we then,
the masses here in America, protect
these robbers? Should we send our

WHICH WILL AM MERIeA
CHOOSE?-There are musical COM
positions which musicians no doubt
can identify and properly name, in
which very pronounced theme or
musical phrase, after it has been dis
played so as to strike attention, is
gradually merged into, or eclipsed,
by a series of variations, only to re-
appear again and again.
Throughout the first six chapters
of Bernhardi's book, Germany and
the Next War;" those dealing with
the economic angle OF the situation,
there runs such a constantly recur-
ring theme.
The musicians theme is a con-
scio4s effect; BeFnhaFdi's is sub
conscious; yelling through his sub
ject, which has other aims, as a pow
ePful and unFestPained actuality.
That theme in the book is foreign
markets." for German manufaetur-
eFs; suggestions for German coIoni-
zation so that more markets may be
thereby secured.
England for a great number of
years has been strainiRg every nerve
along these same lines. In other
words, both sides in that consuming
hell now raging there insist they
must have those foreign markets in
order that their working people may
have employment by which to earn
bread and butter.
Now our manufacturers associa-
tiols want us to get into this swim.
These facts tenel9siVely show that
there are only two alternatives, in
