FROGS FOR MARKET.

An Authority on the Subject Declares
Frog Culture to BE Improbable.
Ever since American epicures devel-
oped taste for the legs of frogs. about
twenty-five or thirty years ago, the
possibility of raising frogs in private
ponds as trout are raised has received
q deal of attention. Among those who
have tried it is Mr.. Fred Mather, the
fish culturist of Cold Spring Harbor.
l.. I. The late Seth Green also ex-
perimented with frog spawn for two
years. Mr.. Masher says that it is no
trouble at all to gather frog spawn and
hatch millions of polliwogs. and the
polliwogs may be easily fed on both
meat and vegetables, for they eat
both. So far, raising frogs is easy.
But when it comes to caring for the
frog after he has left the tadpole state
the enterprise fails. Mr.. M&ther says
ne finds, as Seth Green did, that all
that was necessary was to procure in
sects in sufficient quantities to
feed the frogs, but no one can
procure the insects. Meat and
vegetables, such as table refuse, won't
do--even good meat alone is not frog
food, and Mr.. Mather says that if it
were it would cost too much. To
make frog culture a success the cult
urist must, at the same time. become
breeder of beetles, flies, mosquitoes
and other insects and snails.
Mr.. Mather says that even if the in
sects could be raised for food the pos
sibiity of making a frog pond pay
would not be great. Big frogs eat up
the little ones, for one thing. and. be.
sides that, it takes several-perhaps
ten years for frog to reach a market
able size. The actual time required
for growth is not known. but Mr..
Mather says that many OF the polli.
wogs do not get their legs until the
next season after they are Matched.
which shows they are of very slow
growth.
Occasionally story describing q
frog farm has been printed in some of
the papers. Mr.. Mather says he has
Investigated every story that seemed
to be true and found them all apocry-
phal. He concludes that frog culture
is a delusion, and that a paying frog
farm can not now. and probably never
will, be established-M y San.

No other South Jersey industry
shows 50 great progress or gives e,i-
dence of larger returns for the capital
invested than that of Gaming fruits
and vegetables. The number of cars
ming establishments will be considera-
~ increased this year, and those which
have been u long time in operation are
being enlarged and provided with i'm
proved machinery to increase their pro
duet. Just how far this is going 10 he
carried it is difficult to tell, hut the
energy displayed leaves little doubt
that those who have pursued the III
dustry, as well AS those about EN-
barking, are full of hope and confident
of the happiest results. To supply the
demand from the amer for their
products farmers are planting those
fields formerly devoted to grain and
grass with tomatoes, beans, peas, and
other vegetables. They have also COM
bined to keep up prices in some Sec
tions with every probability of COM
ing off victorious. We have no means
of knowing how much capital has been
invested in the numerous canning fac
tories all over South Jersey. but it
approximate half a million of dollars.
If they keep on increasing they will
exceed both the glass and iron es,ab-
lishments in the value Of their pro-
ducts.-W. J. Press.
The farmers have been benefited by
the growth of the canning industry Of
late years more than by any other and
the Gamers should have every advant-
age given them to reduce their expen-

about the tariff; it has two sides, so
that it can always lie argued without

mind how he will vote and is merely
waiting for the conclusion OF the ora
