FARMERS RAISE FROGS IN CANADA

Tho Industry Reported to BE Proatsbl,
+: I 81 and Growing. =, > H. #
Frog farming as an industry is as
Stunning large proportions in many
parts of Canada Not only are large
shipments of frogs legs made from
this country to the United States, but
there is growing demand for the lux
ury in many Of the large centers OF
the Dominion, says the New York
Sun. -2~
One Of the most successful frog
farms is in Ontario. Last year 1t pro-
duced 5000 pounds of dressed frogs
legs, and 1000 living frogs for scient1-
fic purposes and for stocking other
waters.
The deputy commissioner of fisher
les for Ontario reports that in the
past year a number of applications
were made to the government for
leases of lands suitable for this indus
try. No licenses were, however,
granted, as it was found that the ter
| ritory 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 it's size,
is the eastern bulllfrog, Rama cater
biana, which reaches length of more
than eight inches. It begins to breed
at the end of three years, is very pro-
ductiye and reaches a marketable size
in four or five years.
Only the hind legs are marketed,
and they average half a pound a
pair in weight. They are worth fifty
cents a pound, at times, to the produc-
er, and American dealers take as many
as Canada can supply.

Burial Customs In Turkev.

Upon the graves of the dead in the
Turkish cemeteries little vessels OF
water are placed for the benefit of the
birds, and some of the marble tombs
have basins chiseled out for the same
purpose, the superstition being that
birds carry messages about the living
to the dead, and, Hike everybody else
in Turkey, are suspected of being
spiteful unless something is done to
curry their favor.

COMMERCIALS WON THREE.
C!nched Their Lead in the Bowling
Contest Last Night.

The Commercial bowlers last night
took three out of four games at their
own alleys and defeated the lrvings
by ~ pins All things considered, the
scoring was very fair, both teams be-
ing without some of their regular
tournament men. Taylor suffers with
a lame hand and did not wish 10 bowl
last night, but 1t was necessary that
he should do so. Woodfeld was sub
stituted for Goodell, who was unavuid-
ably absent, and acquitted himself
with credit Parker, Barker, Tuttle.
Mansell and McCue were new men on
the Irving team last night and showed
up In good form. McCue was partic-
ularly aggressive in the second game.
when, following Captain Astbury's fine
example, he piled Up SO, Astbury
scored 65, amid much enthusiasm. Two
centers prevented the establishment of
"A new record.
The victory of the Commercials last
night gives them cinch on first place.
The Irvlngs have made an excellent
showing, and the tournament which
closes next Wednesday night at the
Irving Club alleys, has been a decided
success. The Irvings have Jared much

10 Up TO the People Said the Push Club
at Its Needing Last Night.

Al the meeting OF the Push Club last
evening there we're several matters of
Importance discussed, the most impT-
tant OF which was the coming regat-
IN nj Astoria. The discussion uevel-
oped the fact that there were some OF
Aetorias prominent citizens who are
posslbly against the continuation OF
the annual regattas,and that In case
the regatta IL held this year that there
are other examinations in the cfty
whose members have more time TO
conduct the work necessary 70 make
a successful regatta than the members
of th,. Push Club. A motion was final.
Iy made and carried TO the effect that
the regatta question be made Spec'
iaI order Of business for the ihird

aueased 10 be present in order To have

pers call the attention OF the public

ton of regatta or no regatta II " up

The discussion Of a public pavilion

OF all kinds, except that during the
regattas, street fairs. and like occas-
dons space might be rented TO exhfbi"
tors In this way raising funds for
taxes and repairs. and at the same
time giving all citizens an equal show
for space in the building.
A communication was received from
the board Of pilots requesting the body
to petition the congressman and sena-
tors Of Oregon and Washington To
try to get a special act through con-
gress at the present session making
provision for the construction OF an
ocean dredger al the Columbia bar.
stating that the government in Its
various departments needs an harbor
OF refuge and that with the aid Of such
a drcdger one can be maintained such
as the one at New York and at the
Mersey. near Liverpool.
Inquiries were received from Eastern
persons In refernce TO agricultural
lands. Mr., Castor, OF the agriculiur-
al committee. reported that he had re-
ceived two large sacks OF seeds from
the government and was making free
distribution OF them.
