FROG FARMING m CANADA,
The Industry Reported to be Profit.
able and Growing.

New York Sun. Frog farming ms an
industry is assuming large proportions
in many parts of Canada. Not only
are large shipments of frogs legs
made from that country to the United
States but there is a growing demand
for the luxury in many of the large
centres Of the dominion
One of the most successful frog
farms is in Ontario Last year it pro
duced 5000 pounds of dressed frogs
legs and 1000 living frogs for scientific
and for stocking other waters.
The Deputy Commissioner OF Fish
cries for Ontario reports that in the
past year number of applications
were made to the government for
leases Of lands suitable for this in.
dustry No licenses were, however,
granted, as it was found that the ter
ritOIy concerned was already being
farmed by a number of people
1t is safe to assume that in the very
near future much land now idle will
be stocked with frogs. All that Is
necessary for this purpose is to place
few paired breeders in the water.
Natural food is almost always present
in sufficient amount for successful
growth.
The species considered here to be
most profitable, on account OF its size,
is the Eastern bullfrog, Rama cater
biana, which reaches a length of more
than eight inches. II begins to breed
at the end of three years, is very pro
ductive and reaches a marketable size
in five years.
Only the hind legs are marketable.
and they average half a pound a pair
in weight. They are worth 30 cents a
pound, at times, to the producer. and
American dealers take as many as
Canada can supply

PITIFUL CASE.
Generous Keota Responds TO a
Cry for Help.

Keota Eagle: 1t would be difficult
to conceive ola harder or more try
ing position in which to be placed
than were those poor actors-the par
ents of the 7-weeks-old baby which
died at the Columbian hotel early
Tuesday morning. When death en-
ters home and takes the baby 1t is
sad enough in any case, but to be
among strangers without cent is in
deed disheartening, and be it to the
credit of the humane people of our
town that they didn't suffer. About
$25 in cash was raised by subscription
in few minutes-enough to bury the
infant properly and to tide them over
until they could get new start. The
little one was buried in the cemetery
here at II o'clock Tuesday, Elder
Pallister conducting the service. 1t
seems the manager of the show-they
had played here Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights-had skipped
the town early Sunday morning leav-
ing salaries unpaid, board unpaid,
everything unpaid, and the baby Ill at
the time. They managed to give
little entertainment Monday eve, but
it was not until after the baby died
Tuesday morning that the money was
raised which paid their bills and took
them to South English to begin again.
We are proud to say that it would
have made no difference what these
people were, the money would have
been raised. When death is present,
1t is no time to talk about what peo-
pie do or what they won't do. The
hearts of the people of Keota are in
the right place.

Harvey, Oct. 21.-Mr. ]. Z. Cham
berlain, of Adel, Iowa, was here last
week and formed a company with a
paid up capital of $4,000 and as soon
as the company is Incorporated and
satisfactory arrangements made, the
clearing of the grounds will be com

as fine as any ever seen. The plant
is to be situated near the Wabash
tracks just north of town and the
above mentioned railroad expects to
make extensive improvements at this
place for the shipping of the brick,
The company expects to cover about
four acres with sheds and a cement
floor put in the entire thing.
A force of between so and 60 work
men will be employed and both build
ing and paving prick will be made.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who is to manage
the concern, has had years of expert
ence in the business and is qualified
to make the best of brick. We hope
for Mr. Chamberlain and the company
a grand success.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no.
tion that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
