A BULL FROG Farm
HOW AN EASTERN SHORENlAN
RAISES FROGS FOR MARKET.
FEEDS WITH LIVE FOOD.

tiOW AN EtASlEHtlN SliOtNhMlAlN
RAISES FROGS FOR MARKET. |
FEEDS WITH LIVE FOOD.
Jacob Fontz, of St Michaels Nd, isl
engaged in raising frogs for the mar
ket, says correspondent in the Balti-
more Sun. He has a frog pond just on
the suburbs of st. Michaeps about
quarter of mile square, and here he
is engaged in. this novel industry. Mr.
Fontz has been in the business for a
number OF years and says it is a more
profitable one than oystering. There
are at lines about $50 frogs in the pond
of various sizes and conditions They
are not like the ordinary ditch frog,
wild and vicious, bat, as we visited
them the other day, sit upon the banks
of the pond and croak in an altogether
friendly and social way, apparently de-
lighted with their surrounding. Early
in the Spring, when frogs first begin
to make their appearance in the ditchss,
two men are sent out to catch all the
medium sized frogs that can be found.
These are brought to the pond and
carefully examined to see that there
are no diseased ones among them. This
process is continued until the pond is
well stocked. Then begins a hunt for
the food upon which the frog fattens
and grows. a frog will not eat a
dead creature of any sort. They must
have live food, and even then the food
must be in notion before the frog
will take it. Tadpoles, very small
frogs and insects, are the principal
food upon which they live. The frog
is a carnibal and devours his food at
one gulp. Mr. Fontz carried two
small bags Of frogs and a bucket Of tad
poles to the pond, aud turned them
loose upon the banks of the pond. A
commotion among the frogs immedi-
ately ensued, and in very short while
all the little frogs had been devoured
as we'll as the tadpoles. 1t was a most
novel lesson in natural history.
The demand made upon Mr. Fontz for
the frogs is far in excess of the sup
ply. For several years he has been
supplying the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity with medium sized frogs for ex-
perimental purposes in the biological
laboratory. He takes great pride in
being the possessor Of tine skeleton OF
a large frog which was prepared for
him at the Johns Hopkins laboratory
He has also supplied the table Of the
Rennert Hotel for number OF years
At present ne has orders for large
shipments from the laboratories of the
following educational institutions;
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor;
Detroit College, Michigan; University
Of Georgia, Athens; Bryan Malwr Col
lege, Pennsylvania; University O
North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Syracuse
University, New York; university o
Tennessee, Nashville and Chicago Uni
versity. He has orders DO supply no
tells in the following cities: Cincin
natl, st. Louis. Chicago. Boston an'
Denver, Co,orado The average pric
realized is $3.50 per dozen.
During the Winter season the frog
bury themselves in the mud and II
; order to get them for market nets are
dragged under the mud of the ponds
The catch has geen very small this
Summer, and some of the prices real
lied are fancy.
