Though there may be no frog farms
In Maine there was at least one Maine
man who got rich by selling frogs legs
to Boston and New York hotels. His
name was Weld, and he lived in tho
town Of Greenbush, on the east bank Of
the Penobsoot river, some 20 miles
north Of Bangor. Though blacksmith
and an axmaker by trade, he made his
fortune out Of frogs. Ills custom was to
provide the boys in his neighborhood
with small dip nets and send them out
to the boys and swamps Of Greenbush,
Milford, Greenfield and Olamon. For
graybellies and greenbellies he paid the
boys 5 cents dozen, and when they
brought In dozen Of golden throated
bullfross he gave them cent for every
frog. In this way he paid out money to
the boys and made money for himself
for about 30 years, and when he died,
about 1880, his estate was appraised at
$112. 900. After the death of Weld his
nephews and nieces proceeded to divide
the property, and as they were we'll off
and did not need to work the frog catch
ing industry was abandoned. - New
