I Shipment pf Hides.
In Florida farmers are learning
to take advantage of the market
rates for hides. Speaking of the
annual shipment of cow and alli-
gator hides valoed at $366,000, the
Times Union and Citizen says:
•'The old practice of shipping dry
flint hides is rapidly giving place
to the practice of shipping green
salted hides. A green salted hide
will weigh forty pounds, and sell
at 9 cents a pound, bringing $3.60,
while a dry flint hide weigh four-
teen pounds and sell at 16 cents a
pound, bringing $2.24. Probably
60,000 aligator hides are shipped
out of the state yearly. These are
worth from 20 cents to $1 apiece.

The case in question was ono where-
