Wasbington, N. C., Aug. 3X,—An
interesting experiment, which is rip-
ported to have teen nuMie by C. J.
Overton, of South Creek, has turned
out to be a feature and as a result,
Mr. Overton has several settings of al
ligator eggs which he will sell at a
reasonable price to those d^sinng
them.
Mr. Overton recently found a ne^t
■of 37 ’gator eggs. The mother had
evidently deserted her nest, so Over
ton gathered them in a basket and
took them home. He was anxious
to see whether he couldn’t make one
of his hens hatch them. Accordingijr,
be took half a dozen eggs and placed
one of his best setters over them.
That wiis some time ago.
Last week the eggs hatched and
three tiny alligator^ issued forth.
