TURTLE FARMS.
Things Has Come to be a Paying In
Dustry in Japan and England.

The place occupied among gastro-
nomical in America and by the green
turtle in England is taken by the
"suppon, or the swapping turtle in
Japan. The three are equally esteem
ed and equally high priced, but the
japanese epicure has this advantage
over his brothers of other landslide
has no longer any fear of having the
supply Of the luscious reptile cNhaus-
ted. This desirable condition is ow-
ing to the successful efforts of Mr..
Hattori, who has spared no pains to
bring his turtle farm to high pitch
of perfection, and is able to turn ont
tens of thousands of these reptiles
every year. His are, so far as I am
aware, the only turtle farms in the
world which are highly successful.
In general appearance turtle
farm is at first glance nothing but II
number Of rectangular ponds, large
and small, the large ones having n
size Of $4,000 to 10000 square feet.
One or more Of the ponds is always
reserved FOR largo breeding indivl-
duals or "parents," as they are call
ed.
In Hattori's farm a person goes
around the "parents' pond' once a
day or so and covers up with wire
baskets all the new deposits made
since the last visit. Each basket may
be marked with date if necessary.
This covering serves twofold pur-
pose--the obvious one Of marking the
place, and in addition that Of keeping
other tomales from digging in the
same SPOT. When hundreds, or even
thousands, of these baskets are seen
along the bank Of the ":parents'
pond," it is sight to gladden. the
heart Of an embryologist, to say moth
ing Of that Of the proprietor.
The Matching Of the egg takes, on
an average, 60 days. The time may
be considerably shortened or length
enel, according to whether the sum-
mer is hot and the sun pours down its
strong rays day after day, or whether
there is much rain and the heat not
great. 1t may become less than 40
days or more than 80 days.

a pond or ponds 'y themselves and

like the pilchard. This is continued
through September. In October the
swapping turtle ceases to take food,
and finally burrows the muddy bot
tom OF the pond to hibernate, coming
ou only i'll April or May.
From the third to the fifth year,
inclusive, the young need not be kept
in ponds strictly according to age, but
may be more or less mixed, if neces-
sary. The young Of these years are
also the best and most delicate for
eating and are the ones most sold in
the market. Tn the sixth year they
reach maturity and may begin to de-
posit eggs although not fully vigorous

THE CITY OF MOBILE.
Some Facts About the Place which
'.a.&.5 Has Suffered. ...'s..

New York. Tribune. ........
Mobile lies on the right bank Of the
Mobile River which half mile be-
low the city enters Mobile Bay. The
city is about 20 miles from the Gulf
Of Mexico. '..'....
Stretched along the river front for
mile or more is the Wholesale bust
ness district. This is only about. 10
feet above the river, and in time of
storm, when the waters back up, it
is invariably flooded.
Sloping back from the river front
is the retail business and hotel dis
trict, and back of this, on slight hills,
the residence district. Every few
years the river front is inundated.
Storms in the Gulf pile up the waters
Of the bay, which, 20 miles long by
Is wide, is only Is feet deep, and this
in turn backs into the river. Never
before, however, has there been II
storm that destroyed the buildings
along the river. In the business dis
trict the buildings are substantially
built Of brick and stone, and in the
last ten years, the period Of Mobiles
greatest development, six and eight
story structures have been built.
The town is picturesque, with its
manw huge oaks and magnolias, and
the residence district on the hills is
beautiful. A trolley system has aided
in the development Of outlying parts.
The population is 5000, with 10000
more in the environs.
Mobile was originally al old Span
ish settlement, as New Orleans was
French. 1t is one Of four principal
export ports for cotton. Minerals and
lumber are largely exported. 1t is
the chief port Of entry for the tropi-
cal fruit trade of the Middle South.
Fruit vessels reach there in day
less than is necessary to go to New
Orleans. The Government in recent
years has provided a 25-foot channel
into Mobile, which has vastly increas
ed commerce. Values in the city
have trcblcd, it is said, in the last
ten years. Three important railroads
the Mobile and Ohio, the Southern
and the Louisville and Nashville
enter Mobile. There arc several small
ler lines.
Much apprehension is felt for the
persons who have summer cottages
along both shores of the bay. The
season is just closing, and many arc
still in these places, which were ex-
posed to the full force of the gale.
Where the bay debouches into the
Gulf Fort Morgan, a first-class fort,
stands. Near by along the low-lying
shores fisherfolk live and ply their
vocation.

MAKE MONEY IN REAL ESTATE
AND STOCKS.

It is all right to save money but
you must not stop there. Unless you
have very large income; saving
alone will not make you rich. Saw
ing money and making money are not
the same, but go hand in hand. There
are different ways of making money,
but the easiest way is wise investment
of your capital. Do not wait to get a
large sum. There is no better place
for investment than good real estate.
Nothing can be more secure than
good real estate, it is almost impos-
sible to destroy it. When there is a
good demand for land, absolutely
worthless. land is frequently trans
formed into splendid property. If
You would like to make money quick
ly and honorably, there is no better
way than to buy land which is sure
to grow in value. have such land to
sell and it is still possible for the man
or woman of mudeate means to get
some of it and profit later by its
growth. I want to call your attention

contest in the nation and in this
state is not contest between men,
it is battle of principle. Every
intelligent voter knows that either
Republican legislation and Republi-
can policies or that the policies of
Democracy and legislation of De-
mocracy will govern in the nation
and state for the next two years.
There is no more reason or sense
why man who believes in republi-
can policies and principles should
vote for a democratic governor
than that he should vote for
democratic legislators or democratic
congressman.
We do not wish to be misunder-
stood in this matter. All the
party conventions and primaries on
earth could not induce US to vote
for a man whom we believed was
VIGOROUSLY dishonest, palpably in
competent or morally corrupt.
Yet we have no hesitation in saying
that republican who bolts honor
able republican candidates and
democrats that bolt honorable
democratic candidates are traitors
to the principles they themselves
profess. 1t is not the province of
the Herald to say which
principles are right. That is a
question that must be decided by
each individual voter according to
the dictates of his own conscience;
but in the name of American man.
hood, in the name of American
citizenship, in the name of rectitude
of righteousness and justice we do
appeal to you, after you have made
your choice of principles and
policies to stand by them and vote
for the men who stand for the
things in which you believe.

the PRIMARY LAW A FAILURE.

Probably no man in the State was
more responsible for foistlng the
Primary Election law on Minnesota
than the editor of the H era d.
At the time of it's consideration we
were a Member of Congress and
had considerable influence in politl-
cal matters and we lobbied for it's
passage like candidate for Justice
of the Peace at town meeting.
We believed it was a great thing
and solution of many vexed
problems. We confess it's work
ings have been grievous disap-
pointment to us. There are many
objections to it which we will take
up later on. The principle objec.
ton however is that it makes law
breakers and criminals out of
respectable citizens. When a
republican calls for and votes a
democratic ticket at the primaries
or a democrat calls for and votes a.
republican ticket at the primaries
"to help out friend" he violates
the law and commits a crime Just
as much as he would if he voted
eleven times at general election.
There are fifty such criminals in the
city of Sank Centre and there are
more than thirty. thousand in. the
state.
We have a plan by which this
can be obviated which we will
spring on the unsuspecting public
in the future. We certainly can't
