CALIFORNIA FROG RANCHES.

The Business L. Not Unlike That OF
Cattle Raising.
In California there Is said to be more
women who are engaged in mascuiine
occupations than in any other section
of the United States.
1t is at Siege, a little station about
twenty miles from San Fraacisco, that
a frog ranch Is located. named after
the first owner Of the land thereabout.
The Siege ranch extends from the bay
shore up to the ridge OF the Coast
Range of mountains, which incloses
both shores Of San Francisco Bay. In
the lower portions Of the ranch a great
number Of springs gush out OF the soil
In copious volumes. 1t was the springs
that determined the first location OF the
ranch. The site, overlooking an ex-
pansive view Of the beautiful bay, was
capable Of vast improvement. A doz-
en- acres, inclosing the springs, were
surrounded with a hedge Of cypress

high enough to prevent the escape Of
the inmates, surrounded each, and the
ponds were filed with aquatic plants
and mosses. Then hundreds Of frogs
were placed In the ponds, and from the
original stock the increase has been so
great that, though thousands are sent
to market yearly, the Withdrawals
have no sensible effect upon the vast
numbers remaining. Frog ranching is
not unlike cattle raising. There are
one, two, three or fOur-year-olds,
though the successful frog raiser will
always keep the young ones separate
and apart from the full grown, which
are cann!bals Of the first rank. and eat
all which are not able to protect them
selves. The four-yearolds are consid-
cred ripe for the market. though the
gourmand In frogs prefers those that
are a year or two younger. A frogs
life is twelve years. There are some Of
that age at Siege. They are Of mon
