How AlIiGafOrs Eat.

An alligatOr's throat is an animated
sewer. Everything which lodges in
his open month goes down. He is Il
lazy dog, and instead of hunting for
something to eat, he lets his victualr
hunt for him. That is, he lies with
his great mouth open, apparently dead
like the pOssum. Soon a bug crawls
into it, then n fly, then several gnats
and a colony of mosquitoes. The ALI
gator doesn't close his mouth yet. He
is waiting for whole drove of things
He does his eating by wholesale. a
little later lizard will cool himself
under the shade of the upper jaw
Then few frogs will hop up to catcl
the mosquitoes. Then more mosqui-
toes and gnats will light on the frogs
Finally whole village of insects anG
reptiles settle down for an afternoon
picnic. Then, all at once, there is Al
earthquake. The big jaw falls, til,
alligator blinks one eye, gulps dow
the entire menagerie, and opens hi,
great front door again for more visitors

Wisconsin farmers have been busy
buying "cyclone destroyers" of the
usual smOoth-talking agents, at 81
each. The cOntrivances resemble Il
few feet of twisted lightning rods,
with points sticking out i'll all direc
tions, and are put on the tops of build
ings. 1t is almost incredible that any
man capable of recognizing wet weatlI-
er should be caught with such things,
but a good many were.

Train Wrecks,
THE FALL RIVER ACCIDENT.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. ia serious
wreck occurred, near Fall River,o p the
La Crosse division of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway. The acci-
dent was caused by an unsafe bridge, a
small trestle about one mile west of
Fall River, and seventeen box cars of
an east-bound fast freight went down
through the timbers of the bridge into
the stream below. The train was run,
ming about fifteen miles an hour, when
the engineer felt Il jar, and, looking
back, discovered the condition of af-
fairs. The engine passed over safely,
and those in the cab noticed nothing
unusual about the structure. The cars
piled through the break, and num-
Der of them were damaged beyond all
possibility OF repair. A wrecking crew
was Immediately sent from this city,
and every effort was made to clear
away the debris and keep the line
open for regular passenger trains.
This it was found impossible to do and
the regular noon train from La Crosse
was ordered to psss over the Portage &
Horizon and Northern divisions, reach
ing this city several hours late. Trains
for the west were also delayed some
time. The bridge was considered per-
fectly safe up to the time the accident
occurred, and at the last examination
was in the best repair. No one was in
iured by the wreck, but the damage TO
the rolling stock and goods in transit
will amount to about SIS, 900.
Freight train No. Is, on the Chicago
division of the st. Paul road, was
thrown from the track at Franksville
at late hour Wednesday evening.
The accident was caused by mis-
placed switch. The engine and two
cars were derailed and the rack torn
up for some distance. None of the
employees were injured. The damage
to property will amout to considerable
the engine and cars being wrecked
By the prompt sctious of the wrecking
department trains were delayed but q
short time.

N. Y. Experiment Station.

DIR. Sturtevant's Bulletin of Feb. 8,
acknowledges the kind offer of several
of the principal seedsmen of tho coun-
try to furnish supplies of their seeds
for testing their vitality. This is all very
well so far as it goes, but Will not satisfy
fully the average seedbuyer who ia to
purchase seeds mt selected for "a test in
an experimental station. Let the Doc.
tor test the seeds selected for his trial;
also step into the nearest scotsman,
place or business, and selec. from his
stock OF seed packages, aud give them
The same test. Farmers VINO buy the
ordinary commercial seeds have no
ZION that old seeds are mixed with new,
for, they say, "What becomes of the
old seeds ?" II is generally supposed
that the old is mixed with the new, and
all sold as " fresh" This appears to
us as the point to be tested, and not
whether the seedsmen have good seed.
The question is "Do the seedsmen al
ways send out fresh seeds ?" particular
" those who flood the country with
seeds to be retailed by country mer-
chants.
Of the cow pea and sofa bean the
doctor remarks: "Tne COW pea is an
other plant which should like to see
tried experim entally, upon a sn, all
state, in order to discover the adapta-
ton of it as forage or grain,growing crop.
While the last years experience was
not sufficiently favorable for us to make
extraordinary claims yet under the
disadvantages of an ,unfavorable season
the result offer sufficient promise to in
sure further trials by ourselves, as well
as to recommend it on a small scale to
others. The success in this crop will
depend, if at all, upon the varieties Sc
lected. Some varieties have small fol-
iage and great prolific Of seed; such
are worthy of being tried for the pur-
pose of raising the bean for the feeding
feeding of stock. Other varietses are
very leafy and lsrge-folisged, Offering
considerable promise for use as forage
crop. With us however, the last year
they did well only as hoed crop. The
seed which gave us large prolifcacy
with but little foliage was the Black
and White. The Green Eyed and the
Brown Eyed White furnished foliage
which entirely concealed the ground
between the four feet intervals at which
the rows were planted.
The Sofa bean, which serves such a
universal food purposes In Japan and
other Asiatic countries, seems from
our one years trial well deserving of
encouragement. Enormously prolific,
Astounding in foliage, apparently hardy
and sufficiently hardy, to mature in our
climate, it seems we'll adapted for gen
eral trial, not only through these cir
cumstances mentioned, but also as be-
ing the most NITROUS of all known
plants, and according TO some German
authorities, extremely relshed by stock.
Trials with this should be at first upon
a email scale, and the plants should be
treated as beans, that is, planted in
Mills and hoed during early growth.
