RAISING ALLIGATORS
A Breeder Who Has "Farms" and
Ranches in Two States,
A Nav Orleans dIgpntch SAYS:

A New Orleans dispatch says:
The departure by express to-day OF
two cages of small. live alllgators to
Hot Springs, Ark disclosed the existence
at that place Of an alligator ranch for
tho purpose of raising alligators for the
market, and that another alligator ranch,
owned by the same breeder, Is In opera
ton in Florida,
The hunting of alligators has almost
exterminuted them In Louisiana and Flor
ida, and 1t Is evident that iii few years
the wild alligator will be extinct. In
view Of this and the great demand for
alligators for geological departments, an
effort is being made TO raise them by
hand
a considerable part of this years hatch
1ngs, instead OF being mounted, Is being
sent to the Arkansas and Florida ranches,
and raised for the market.
1t Is a slow process, but 1t Is thought
that the alligator will become so much
more valuable when the wild ones are
killed off that It will pay to raise them.
