'Marmalade foreverl" This quaint
battle cry originated from a certain

roar of another regiment of the 'kilt-

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 IS to $50.
1t 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 I've or shallow cement ponds
are considered ideal for keeping the
fish.

WONDER WORDS OF RUSSIANS
Favorite Phrase That Means HappI-
ness and Peace for Which They
Have So Long Struggled.

" am going to try to teach my read
ers six Russian words" writes William
G. Shepherd In Eyerybody's. 'The first
is 'tavarish.' 1t means 'comrade.' There
used to be law in Russia against
using It'll The French in their revolu-
tion, meant about the same thing when
they said 'citoyen.' 1t is a word you
hear thousand times a day, every
where.
Mir bez anned contributzi.'
These are the other five words. You
hear them as we in the United States
hear our latest slang phrases. The
Russians use them as we once used
the phrase, sixteen to One,' or safety
first They mean mo annexations and
no contributions Every Russian lost
in his happy wonderland, full of the
new joy of life, means, when he uses
these words, to say. This world Is a
more beautiful place than had ever
thought. Let US all be brothers and
help each other to enjoy IT. instead
of fighting to make slaves Of each
other and to drive the beauty and hap
piness out of life
There is something infinitely pa
thetic in their faces when you say TO
a Russian, Yes. Your idea is fine.
But what of the GermansY
'In vain the Russians have stood
their front and cried to the Germans.

HUSBAND THE BETTER LOVER
He Is Practical, Demonstrating His A.
lection In Deeds Rather
Than In Words.

Invariably the radiantly happy mar
ried woman Of fifty has adopted the
mans point of view regarding her life.
The average man is a better lover
than the average woman, because he
loves practically, showing affection In
acts rather than In words. From the
beginning his home is his inventive to
effort. Sometimes, after marriage, as
demands increase, he becomes so en-
crossed in his purpose that he forgets
to talk Of love.
Then 1t is that the wife, who has
small understanding Of love in action,
pines because she is sure he has grown
cold. No, he is at fever heat, lest he
fail in providing physical proof Of his
affection.
The woman who finds happiness In
married life has a sufficiently mascu-
line outlook to understand him. She,
instead of brooding over imaginary
Sights in return proves her devotion
by work. Her domestic duties are dig
nified by love, consequently she can
fix her thoughts upon something d.
verting while she mends socks, forget
ting the commonplace.
She can hear the song of the bird
or think of the story she read last eve
ming while she does the work of the
absent cook. To her 1t is a Joy to
plan attractive meals that will add to
the efficiency Of her loved ones. She

CROP TO PREcEDE ALFALFA
Ohio Experiment Station Recommends
Potatoes Since Soil Is Usually
Well FertlIlzed.

For sections where early potatoes
succeed, the Ohio experiment station
recommends this crop as one of the
best to precede alfalfa, since the land
is usually well fertilized and MANFRED,
and frequent cultivation kills nearly
ell weeds before alfalfa is seeded.
The potatoes can be harvested for late
July and early August alfalfa seed
ings, and good seeded can be pre-
pared merely by disking and harrow
ing.
Field peas have also been found
satisfactory when cut for hay as a
preparatory crop for alfalfa. Such
midsummer seedlings of alfalfa have
been found by the experiment station
more satisfactory than spring seed
Ing in oats or barley. Most alfalfa
failures are attributed to competition
with weeds and to nurse crops that
provide excessive shade and leave too
little moisture and plant food for the
young alfalfa.

VILLAGES ERECTED ON PILES
Ancient Settlement Discovered in Lake
Constance Contained $1,000 Tree
Trunks for Its Foundation.

The most interesting Of the earlier
habitations of man are the curious lake
dwellings Of the age of bronze, notes
correspondent. These were usually
built on piles sunk into the bottom Of
lake, some distance from the shore.
Large trees were felled. the trunks of
which were sharpened on one end and
driven into the mud By mallets used in
the hands Of the builders. who worked
from a raft.
On these piles was built platform,
sometimes OF great extent. One Of the
lake villages discovered in Lake Con-
stance contained 10000 piles. 1t formed
parallelogram 1900 feet long and
400 broad. and probably accomn,o-
dated settlement Of several hundred
inhabitants.
After the platform had been put
down, the boards being fastened on
with pegs, and the whole strongly knit
together with clay. the builders pro
ceeded to put up their huts, which were
circular or rectangular in shape. They
were madesof waffle work, coated on
both sides with clay, and were general
~ furnished with .hearthstone and n
hand-mill for crushing grain.
The village was connected with the
shore by long, narrow causeway, In

SOME POTATO PARINGS

Good seed potatoes, free Of
. blight and rot, are always worth
saving for ones own future
J. crop, or to supply others.
Feed the Gull potatoes to the
hogs. Cook the potatoes thor
oughly and mix with cornmeal,
shorts or bran. Skim milk is a
| good addition.
Grading potatoes for market
increases the possibilities Of
sales and raises the price re-
ceived. Keep the culls on the
farms and save the cost of haul
ing.
Potatoes add succulence to the
dairy ration. Where corn silage
Is not available and there are
plenty of small potatoes, a peck
a day will give a marked In
crease In the milk flow. They
should be introduced into the
ration gradually, and should be
run through a root cutter to
avoid the possibility Of choking
the animal.-United States De
partment Of Agriculture.

Strange AdoptIon. hx ca...

The cases in which cats and dogs
have formed close friendly relations
are, of course, too numerous to men,
ton. 1t really seems as If there were
no animal friendship so strong and
lasting as that between cats and dogs
when once 1t Is formed. It Is well
known that mother cats when deprived
of their newborn progeny will adopt
puppies, rabbits. monkeys or almost
any other tender young creature that
may be handy. But there has recently
come to light a case for which there L.
no such apparent explanation.
A cat and female fox terrier, which
had brought into the world their prog
eny at about the same time, DELHI
erately snapped their young. the cat
taking the puppies to rear and the dog
the kittens. The exchange was sat-
isfactory, and both filters were
brought in good health to the wean-
able stage. Nobody knows what led
to such abnormal conduct.

10 PREVENT NoxIous PESTS

.
Barnyard manure may become badly
infested with weed seeds on account
of hay which contains various kinds
OF seed being fed to live stock. Too
often the land Is infested with nox-
Sous weeds from this source.
This danger may be overcome. says
the agricultural extension division Of
Clemson college. by keeping manure In
piles 9 to 10 feet high from four to sir
weeks. The heat and fermentation
produced in such piles has been found
to XIII practically all the weed seed
with the exception Of few on the sur
face Of the pile. These can also be
destroyed by putting the surface ma
nure under the bottom of a new pile.
by this method the farmer may safely
