A PECULIAR BUSINESS.
Breeding and Catching Leeches for
the New York Market.

James Partit and his children earn all
the money they make raising leeches.
For the work of breeding the blood
suckers on the Partit farm on Toms
River, near Lacy, N. j., is nothing, COM
pared with the labor of catching them.
The wary leech will take hold of nothing
out human flesh, SO the members of the
Partit family, big and little, plunge their
legs INTO the swamp and draw them up
presently with the prey attached
Farmer Partit doesn't seem to think a
little bloodletting hurts one
They are as good as a dose of spring
| physic," says he. why, me and the
boys get so fat and healthy doing moth
ing all winter that we need something
like this to keep us in order If we
flshed too long at time they might do
some harm, but we know when to STOP
After the season is over we feel fresher
and better than if we hadn't been leech-
ing. They are just like mosquitoes.
| They suck out all the bad blood and
| leave the good, and that is why, 1 sup
| pose, we feel so good after a months
| work in the swamp. / think we'd all
! have malaria down in this wet place if
it wasn't for the leeches. No man could
wade through such mudhole without
getting malaria, unless something
| helped him."
| His farm yields 100000 leeches a year,
| and the price, 20 or 80 cents for 100,
giving an annual income of 81 900 to
the family. The market is New York
/ or Philadelphia, where the leeches are
distributed to the trade.
! Half a century ago this would have
been great business, but the belief in
leeches has fallen off in this country
Europe clings to the practice, and
France consumes 5000, 900 leeches year
ly, while London finds use for over T.
900, 1000 a year.
James Partit or his boys, when wad-
| ing, discovered the presence of the
leeches in his swamps. He looked up
the subject, and decided that he would
supply the American market, which
hitherto had depended on Europe. He
found that buyers preferred the Hun
garian fellow Of olive green without
! spots, or else the German leech, with
dark green body, spotted below with
black. He got few specimens and put
them in the pond. They multiplied
rapidly after their enemies, the water
snakes, were exterminated, and soon the
hrst leech pond in the country was es-
tablished. The young are ready for
market in about year, but reproduc-
ton takes three years. The average life
or leech is fifteen or twenty years.
Usually healthy man can fish in the
| swamp four or five hours without los
ing enough blood to exhaust him. The
leeeh has three jaws, and from twenty
to ninety teeth. When these get going,
the leech Will swallow in a short time
five times his weight in blood
All this is more pleasant than the
practice elsewhere about New York OF
fattening leeches for the market on de-
crepit old horses which have been con-
demned TO the boneyard.-New York

suddenly, Carrie, your hats on wrong.
The result was somewhat different than
