He Has Imported a Number OF
the Animals From
Abroad.

Zion is not only ~ have a frog farm
In .he near future, but 1T has one now.
Not only has this industry of growing
frogs for the market been started. but
Salt Lakers Will soon be able to pur-
chase the finest and most toothsome TO
be had anywhere In the world. The
site for this frog farm Is on the
grounds recently purchased by Charles
s. Ladner In the southeastern portion
of .he city, and In this and his trout
ponds he already has Invested above
$50, 900.
VIII Grow the Best.
The frogs which Mr.. Ladner will
raise Will not be OF the common kind.
He Is stocking his farm with the high
est grade of American frogs as also the
best from abroad. Recently he imported
a number from France of the mon
strous Bavarian breed Then he has
several Maryland wonders and a num-
ber from New Jersey and Florida, these
the largest OF the genus rama. known
as the American bullfrog.
Better Than Chicken.
While frogs are eaten by many per-
sons in the United States, where they
arc considered a great delicacy, In
France and southern Europe they nre
largely consumed as food. There they
are caught In various ways and are
preserved In large "froggeries" until
wanted for the table The flesh is
most delicate and nutritious at the
time they are about TO enter their win
ter quarters, yet the largest number
are eaten in the spring, when they are
easily caught. They are as much more
delicate than chicken as the fowl is
superior 10 veal and pork. Physicians
on the continent. have long prescribed
the flesh Of frogs as the basis for re-
storative broths.
Care Is Necessary.
To grow frogs a great deal OF care
is necessary. The water must be
watched carefully to keep 1t clean. pure
and OF the right temperature Twice
a day the animals are fed their food
consisting OF a mixture OF dried insects
liver, lights and mlddlings made into
O mash and placed In the pond In a
quiet spot. Five pounds of this mix
ture is given the animals In the ponds

costs cents a pound. From two &c
three years arc needed for the animals tc
attain the size best suited for the mar.
