THE ALLIGATOR MARKET. FARM AND GARPEN. BTRANOB SIOHTS IN A SOUTHERN SAURIAN MERCHANT'S STORE. How the Illdcon ncptllo Arc Caught anil Tnrrd Kor A 1(M). I Yeara-Old AlllR-atnr. "How do you fell the best, marlamr-f'' Bskcd the infptisitive reporter of a quiet looking woman tvho was tho one pcaoe ful object in tho screaming, noisy worlil about her. ''Well, I hanlly know how to answer that o.ue.stion,'' she responded, her voice Jiiu hed high enough to rtenclrnto the chirping Squeaking, cawing anil crowing of tho congregation of feathered folk fluttering about. "You see, they come nt most any price, and when I tell you they come nil the way from fifty cents to f200 apiece, you can understand how prices vary." As is well known, sugar, oranges nnd alligators form three staples in Louisiana exports and internal revenue, and it wns to discover tho exact condition of the rroeodilo market and whether the season's catch had been good that a visit was paid by a reporter to the big tanks on I'harires street. Alligators arc brought into town i't every ftago, from an embryo Male in the rgg to great, angry monsters ador.cn feet long, tipping the scales hundreds of wunds. Men hunt their hideous game after dark, stalking the swamps, drag ging lagwms and wading through low, iiozy marshes, where vast numlx-rs of al ligators abide. Several methods of rapt uring them are resorted to. Those ra ught with hooks are only fit for im faeniatc killing.as they sicken and die in fchort order. The big ones arc lassoed and smaller fry snared in a heavy seine made for this purpose. The hunter realizes ho is after dangerous game with lots of vicious halits, and so, besides blinding their stupid eyes by a lamp worn in his cnp,he is prepared to send a sooth ing bullet whenover necessary. After brinsinsr in his find of euus. the crocodile farmer heaps them in boxes and simply depends on time to do its perfect work. In the course of weeks the in fant gnaws and claws at tho hard shell until he finally squirms his way into the world. Tassing through the big bird store tho alligator region is reached. It is a pretty, garden like place, with tcndcr,lacy vines trained in delicate festoons up the lattice against the durk brick wall, lireat red lts hold i-lch foliage plants that lend a tropical air to the spot, fitting the in habitants of the long cemented tanks. Tbesc troughs aro built six in a row, the occupants being carefully graded accord ing to size. Twice a "week tho water must be changed for the salubrity of the atmosphere. Twice a week refreshments are banded round, beef lights as a rule, k delicacy for whichulligatorshavea very pronounced penchant. Tho half-grown variety cat from five to six at a meal, dis tending their uncomely, shapeless stomachs until tho receptacles refuse to bold another particle. They feed only nt intervals, but have voracious appetites then. They are very ufcly creatures, with wretched dispositionals the reporter had n fair opportunity of discovering. Hang ing over the side of the tank In playful, almost intimate relations with tho beast, his sheltering umbrella gave a tip too far and touched the extreme point of the thing's snout. It was enough; with a terrifying bellow and blow ins? off of Meant tho infuriated being rose two inches out of water and sent his ob server exactly three feet in tho air. It was a severe shock and has generated re spect, if not admiration, for the alliga tor's sensitiveness. Lying in tho eun shine,evcry griazly feature is accentuated. Their great shovel heads flout on the wa ter with stupid, evil eyes that blink like yellow excrescences on a mud-colored surfafc. A tiny, minute slit ia the snout admits enough air to enable them to "''H'i P. s''"'1 frightful cnoughto suire "the vt.nt;nribmrt;d t I Vhe keeper of the tanks said hundreds were sold yeaily to traveling show men, niimhcrs being sent to Kurope as curiosi ties, beside many that were bought by Northern visitors. Saloon owners buy them constantly to keep on their iouu tcrs as an attraction to possess, Chicago nnd St. Louis being noticeable among the number. An artist here in town set them up with all sorts of comical de- li'iuc.-'lle stuffs them with cotton, nnd fashions preachers, lawyers, gam blers, organ-grinders, cotton handlers and duellists out of the ridiculous little ligures. The sauriau merchant has a perfect treas ure that he keeps in close quarters and guards as tWi fairest jewel of his cntiro collection of beauties. It is a huge, evil smelling, sluggish reptile, measuring twelve feet, whose age is calculated at 0110 hundred and fifty years. He lies sprawled out on the floor of his trough, in a state of torpid stupidity. The crea ture looks bored to death and with enough malignity in his depraved yellow eyes to devour every visitor who studies bis handsome proportions. Xcte Orleant I'iuiet-Democrat. I Sheep Killed by Lightning. One of tho most terrible instances of the destrubtive force of lightning ever recorded has happened at the farm of Hicsjesdam, in the division of Victoria AVest, Cape Colony. lino evening u flock of 1,430 ewes, belonging to Mr. Thompson, the owner of the farm, came round a small building for shelter, as it was raining hard. The lightning, which for some time had been terrific, struck the building, tearing and smashing doors and walls, and killing in an instant 7110 out of the flock of 1,430 sheep. After this frightful loss Mr. Thompson was busied with eighteen men for no less than three days skinning ihe dead sheep. Storms in South Africa aro remarkable for their force and vehemence. The Transvaal in particular, ta Mr. Rider Haggard has told us, is oftcu visited, and fatal accidents, both to beasts and human kind, are not uncommon. Such an in stance of wholesale destruction by light ning is, however, unprecedented. J'alt Ma'l Gazette. An Oriental Palace.

To Mako Deep Milker. Tho time when cows aro maJe and poilsd is when heifers arc approaching calving with their first calves, and for tlx months thereafter. A heifer should be well fed on nutritious, growing food, root, bran and some strong meal, corn, oat, cotton seed etc., besides hay and Stalks. She should have daily exercise, and when sho comes to the stall should be bandied, tho udder kneaded, rubbed, and tho milk veins traced their whole length. She will learn to like this, and it produces a pleasant excitement about the ports, a tendency of blood to the milk glands, their growth, and an in creased tendency to give milk. After calving, When she settles down to milk ing, sho should, have strong-milking food, in which wheat bran should be a constant and nil abundant constituent. Tho aim should be rather to causo a larger flow than much fat secretion. Tho heifer is herself growing rapidly, Many of the constituents of tiic milk arc needed for her own increasing frame, but the flow of milk must be kept up nnd slvo should bo milked almost, up to her next calving. ColenH Weld, in Dairman. When to Tick l'riiit. When fruits are mature, they make preparation for falling, just as mature leaves do. A distinct line is formed upon the stem of the fruit, in preparation fof the separation. When the apple or peat is mature, it will Kirnte from the tree without any pulling; mere lifting the fruit from its hanging position to a hori zontal one, will cause tho sprr.llon from the tree to take p'.ace at once. A little observation will teach when the fruit is rvady to be gathered. At this time, the fruit having made its growth, derives nothing more from the tree. After tho fruit is full-grown, its next step i? toward decay. Decay in enelv kinds comes iu a few days or weeks, "in the late sorts it requiics several months, but whether early or late,therc is a stage in this prog gress from maturity to decay, when tiic iruit best suits our purpose, and we sttv. that is "ripe," or "mellow," or "in eat ing." This time in early kihds comes Very quickly, and other varieties do not assume it before spring. Karly kinds como "into eating condition" so soon, that they will bear but little transporta tion, hence arc suited only to near mar kets. But these vary greatly, and there are from very early and niittimn ripening kinds, to tho very latest. The fruit grower should lc a careful observer of these points. Tho best fruit may bo spoiled or materially depreciated in value by careless picking and handling. Prop erly constructed cold storage houses will do much toward keeping fruit in good condition, but unless the fruit is picked at the right time, it cannot be kept prof itably even in the best fruit house. American Agriculturist. Care of Potatoo Fields. Hoe potatoes early and often. There is no plant cultivated that will respond more readily to or pay better for clean culture, and frequent stirring of tho soil mu mis. nun me cultivator thronsli them often, and run it shallow. There is no call for deep working. What is Wanted now is to keep the surface clean. The hilling may be done later or as tho plants get larger. There is no crop grown among us that is so frequently neglected as is tho potato. It is no un common thing in traveling across the country in tho fall of the year to see fields so infested with wceiTs that it re quires careful attention to discover the tops of the potatoes among them. Every 0110 knows that it is not possible to se cure a bountiful crop under such con ditions. .lust how much potatoes should be hilled in the Una! hoeing depends some what on the condition of the land. Tho tubers must have a mellow soil to expand in. If the soil has been well plowed, and deeply and thoroughly stirred before planting, moderate hilling is all that is called for. It is far the better course to have tho land properly prepared before planting. When this is dono nnd tho after culture is what it should be clean and frequent the po tato becomes a sure crop, and usually a profitable one. There is no room, however, for slack work nnd indifferent care where pood A few evergreens planted here and there add greatly to tho beauty of a farm.
