and along the marshes of the Great
Lakes. 1t is said hat there is more
trouble and less money about a frog
farm than there is about any other
business.
The better class of frog farmer has
from two to six ponds where he
breeds and raises his frogs. In this
way he can keep the frogs of different
ages in different ponds.
Frog eggs are about the size of pin
heads, and are laid in a Shiny, jelly
like substance that partially protects
them. From 400 TO 500 eggs are the
spawn of a single female. The eggs
hatch the tadpole or pollywog. This
in turn becomes a baby frog. Between
the time of change from tadpole to
frog abou a year elapses, and 1t
takes the frog about two and a half
or three years to grow large enough
for market. They are better around
the age of five years thar at any other
time: after that they become tough.
/: Is a very hard matter 20 separate
the frogs at different ages for they

pools or they will not hatch, so no
floor can be pla :e4 there. and they
easily dig under an wall that can be
built.
After he is big enough, to market
the frog Is caught with . bulls eye
lantern. This is flashed IN his eyes
at night, binding him long enough to
be captured. In the daytime the ami
NAL Is shy and will not allow a person
to approach, but when he is once
scared from a place it is safe to shy
he will return there as zoe as the
person has gone. When caught snd
worried or teased he will cry almost
like a baby.
In a hard season when small fish
and insects are scarce, the frog eats
his own families, it being u cGse of
the biggest frog getting the mJst 70
eat. 1t is no uncommon ting TO
catch a bullfrog that has anc.her in
its stomach half its own size that It
has devoured in a hungry moment.
They can stay under water from

that Il will seldom IUuch a dead car
cass. The beetle or other insects
must move before the frog will touch
1t.
There Is one species of the eat
able frog that Is known as the spring
frog. It grows in the springs on farms
and ranches and Is considered to be
more palatable than the bull frog, but
Ia smaller. Farmers who have these
frogs in their springs refuge to allow
them to be killed. claiming that they
purify the water. This makes them
harder to get and they are more ex.
pensive than the other variety.
The tree, or marsh frog, it noted as
being one of the best weather proph-
cts that lives. He always cries be-
fore a rain He is about three inches
in length, but is not fit for food.
Some are sold as weather prophets,
but the demand does not pay one to
raise them.
The land frog, or toad, Is a we'll
known species and Is good for nothing
that Is known of. 1t served it's pur-
pose when it inspired Mark Twain to
write The Jumping Frog" There
are many superstitions about it,
though. One is that if o step on
one you are sure to stump your toe
later. Another is that If one is touch
ed with the hand a wart will grow
where the human and frog skin come
in contact. They build what is known
as the devils umbrella" 1t looks
like a mushroom, but is poisonous.
In certain sections Of the country II
has been known to rain frogs.
The last OF the common species Is
the horned frog. It lives in the South.
west on the dry, arid regions of Ari.
IONA, Utah and New Mexico. and lives
on desert mice and insects. They
havy never been known to drink wafer
and, like the toad, is good for nothing

YOUNG WOMAN ALSO HAD PET
But II Was Somewhat Different from
Other Women's.

When the thin woman In the long
gray ulster sat oown in the Subway
car opposite the fat woman holding a
bright little Scotch terrier it could be
seen at once that they had points OF
common interest and that those points
of common interest consisted OF dogs.
"Wha a dear little fellow he is"
chirped the thin m
Isn't he dear?" cooed the fat wom-
an, smuggling her pet Sc closely that

and Sandy tried to lick her gloved

woman.

What kind Is yours?" zane the
eager query.

Retaliation.

And the eagles shrek rang out
Ger the craig to his brooding mate,
And the looms weird laugh OF scorn
Woke the echoes around the lake,
And the timid deer raised her head to
hear.
From her covert In the brake.
For n cruel. deadly foe.
OF the hated tribe OF Men.
Was on the trail with fire and steel,
And a lust for blood of them.
So the black bear shambled by.
To his lair In the forest dim.
While the wildcat fatty crouched
On a sheltering hemlock limb.
And the rabbit shook as he slyly took
One startled glance at him.
Then the crafty fox lay low,
Where her cubs were turned to stone.
And lessening specks in the distant
sky
Betrayed where birds had flown.
But the squirrel chartered loud,
And laughed with wanton glee,
That the bravest of the crowd
Stole softly back to see
The trapper trapped. All, his futile
wrath!
And his cries Of agony!
Then the eagle screams that revenge
has come,
While the VOLTS eyes glare and shine
And the raven sits OF a birchen limb
And calmly bides his time.

Plain Talk That Had Effect

A few years ago there lived in
Lowell, Mass, an eccentric minister
named Neale, who was famous for his
plain talking. On n occasion he was
preaching missionary sermons at a
village so noted for it's small collec-
tions that he determined to pass the
plate himself.
On his round he came to a farmer
who was, Is Mr.. Neale well knew, the
richest man in the place. This indi-
vidual placed a nickel on the plate.
MIR. Neale stopped Immediately and
said, In a loud voice: Take your
nickel out, man; take 1t out! Don't
you see you've covered up your la
borer's dime?"
The rebuke was effectual, and a
much more valuable coin was placed
on the plate.
