YOUNG ALllGATORS.

they Feed hat Once q Month and
Then Prefer Live Food.
tThe thing Of it being difficult to IN
duce an alligator in captivity to eat ts
a mistaken dea," said man who
owns a young alligator and knows all
about them. 1.-THE question 1s how.
First Of all, an alligator feeds but once
a mouth and then prefers to eat any
thing that suggests lfe-anything that
moves. For this reason angleworms,
besides being good food for 1t, prove at
tractiye to the eye Of small gator

ish it would were the alligator In the
streams of its native regions. Again,
small portion Of raw beef makes excel
lent food for it, and the alligator never
refuses to eat of q piece that Is tied o
q string and slowly drawn along In
front of him, in this way giving sug-
eestion Of life to the food. Another
thing very important to know In the
care Of an alligator is to exactly under
stand how to make it comfortable. The
best and simplest plan is to secure
box, any ordinary wooden box, and fill
the bottom with sand, which is then
covered with moss. Also have placed
inside of the box, which must be kept
in the sun as much as possible. flow
erpot saucer filed with water. This
must be changed frequently. All OF
which makes the alligator very COM
Portable, for In case it should become
tired of the water there are the moss
and sand for it to get out upon. So with
a properly arranged home or box and a
little care as to its diet there is no rea-
son why the little alligator tourists 50
frequently delight in sending their
friends from Florida should not thrive
