and along the marshes of the Great
Lakes. 1t is said that there is more
trouble and less money about 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 Shiny, jelly
like substance that partially protects
them From 400 to 800 eggs are the
spawn of single female. The eggs
hatch the tadpole or pollywog. This
in turn becomes baby frog. Between
the time of change from tadpole to
frog about a year elapses, and 1t
takes the frog about two and half
or three years to grow large enough
for market They are better around
the age of five years than at any other
time; after that they become tough.
1t is a very hard matter to separate
the frogs at different ages for they
must have mud in the bottom OF their
pools or they will not hatch, so no
floor can be placed there, and they
easily dig under any 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 person
to approach, but when he is once
scared from a place it is safe to say
he will return there as soon as the
person has gone. When caught and
worried or leased he will cry almost
like baby.
In hard season when small hsn
and insects are scarce, the frog eats
his own families, it being a case OF
the biggest frog getting the most tc
eat. 1t is no uncommon thing tc
| catch a bullfrog that has another III
it's stomach half it's own size that Il

found that adjoining the inn was

from the cottage were many assures,
so that whenever lime was burnt
monoxide of carbon escaped into the

for which the woman was suffering.

that it will seldom youch dead car
cass. The beetle or other insects
must move before the frog will touch
it,
There is one species of the eat
able frog that is known as the spring
frog. 1t grows in the springs on farms
and ranches and is considered to be
m ore palatable than the bull frog, but
is smaller Farmers who have these
frogs in their springs refuse 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 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 you 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 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. 1t lives in the South

zona Utah and New Mexico, and lives
on desert mice and insects. They
have never been known to drink water
and, like the toad, is good for nothing

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.

Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts
Hands Pinned CONGRATULATIONS
Cure by Cuticura.
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
ters became 80 bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks large enough
to put a finger into The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest, and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. I think his face must have
itched most fearfully.
1--WE finally thought nothing could
help, and | had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,

We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,

Naples, 1920 a. m.-Ail efforts on

the authorities to ascertain the exact
number of deaths from the eruption
of Mt VesuviGs havss 50 far failed
This is accounted for by the fact that
the buried villages are impossible of

the need of waterworks, especially
for fire protection. 1t struck him that
the price of hydrants was low enough
or at least reasonable. The schedule
of rates to private consumers he con-
sidered somewhat vague, and he
would like to understand them better.
There were times when if fire got
out it might in one hours time cost
more than the entire cost of water
works system Using water at the
schedule rates for private purposes
seemed anttray too high, but the
meter rate was certainly reasonable.

of the morning routine business Mr.
Bailey promptly took the floor. He
discussed his proposition looking to
the withdrawal of the power of the
inferior courts to suspend orders of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
referring TO the contention that there
would be a distinction between the
power of congress over cases in equi-
ty and in law. IT, he said, Con
gress can destroy proceedings in
equity it can destroy proceedings in
law" This he said was conceded by
his opponents, as was the point that
the inferior courts derive their pow
er from acts of congress, and not
from the constitution direct These
concessions left us only the point of
distinction between the judicial pow
er of the United States Supreme
Court and the Jurisdiction of the Fed
eral courts, for which Knox and
Spooner contended. He did not con-
slider the point material, but said
that if materiality had any connec-
tion, it did not apply in the pending
legislation.
