Old Fanner's Riddle: Why is a watch like a river? (Answer
below.)
Ask the Old Farmer: Can you tell me just what a scallop is?
I have the impression that a
ipM , , scallop is not an oyster, but
a mussel > more hke an inland
clam. A.W.M., Wilmington,
The scallop is,one of na-
JmESC lure’s conundrums. It is the
only bivalve on earth that
caw swim, and he can travel!
Generally circular in form,
they vary in stse depending on where they are found, which
ts in every temperate and tropical body of water there is.
They get their name from the regular pattern of smooth
ndges in the shell and scalloped edges, although the sea
scallop, which is the largest variety, hew a perfectly smooth
shell. No, we wouldn’t call them a mussel.
Home Hints Discolored bathroom tile can be brightened by washing with
baking soda To remove grass stains, nib the spot with pure lard . .
Riddle antwer It doesn't run long without winding.
