should be raked from the water in

not to bring up any of the small frogs

very fast. it wants TO be removed
from the banks of the ponds at once.
Owing to the fact that from two to
three years are required for frogs to
grow to marketable size, this discour
ages many from entering into the
business. No one should let such a
thing deter them. however. Once a
plant is equipped and the three years
gone over, the revenue that time on
is continuous and the profit large; the
yearly income is equaled, in fact, by
no other line of business, as one al

conducted on a big scale. as it may be
in the right locality, the income, once

the heavier and larger will be the

will grow more quickly. In starting

Money Made Growing Figs.

Within two weeks time Mrs. NJ J.
Sharit. of this city gathered ia quarts
of figs from one tree, and in the same
time Mr.. G. w. Sharit gathered 116
quarts of figs from two small trees
This is what is called the first crop"
and will be followed by Il second and
third crop. The figs from these trees
were sold at 10 cents pee quart. In Il
small way Franklin county soil has
produced some wonders in the tig-trec
line. and if an enterprising CIt;zrn
would clear off piece of grounl and
plant it extensively in fig trees, he

and the sun. provided the netting is
always kept covered with water, do
its part toward Matching the eggs.
Furthermore when the spawn does
hatch into tadpOles, the frogs will
have no chance to eat them as fast as
they wiggle out of the eggs, as they
will do if they can get to them, until
the young frogs are large enough to
protect themselves.
1t takes from four to six weeks for
the spawn TO hatch to the shape of
tadpOles, and these. in turn, from four
to five months to develop into small
frogs: up to which time they are fish

Sparingly. | say sparingly, because
if they do not eat it up clean, there
will be an accumulation to decay and
cause a sitting stencil to follow. But
as soon as they turn into frogs they be-
come amphibiOus animals, and require
then a different class of food: they
want the live food, and animal food,
only. Failure to keep them well sup
piled with this will result in their
turning to and eating each other even,
whereupon much frog meat, that is
: worth ''One dollar a pound or more,
will be destroyed. As tadpoles hatch
out prolificly, one bunch of spawn

of the minute animals which furnish
so large part of the food for frogs
at all stages of their development
The rest of the pond should have a

Guent increase of depth to the outlet,

five feet deep; by drawing off the

constitute the bottom of the ponds.
In the middle of them, except the
spawn Matching pond, water lilies
the large pads, such as Nymphea alba
should be planted; these furnish hid
ing places from fish hawks, as well as
perches on which to bask in the sun
and catch insects. For. truth 70 tell,
a plant that will grow on top of the
water furnishes many insects, which
can also be attracted to the vicinity
and within reach of the frogs by soak
ing number of grain sacks with mo-
lasses and fastening them up around
the ponds just above the ground. To
guard against leeches, which are very
destructive to frogs, acting the same
as hen lice do on chickens, whatever
vegetable matter is grown in the ponds
should be planted from the seed.
AS already stated, the nursery ponds
should have adequate means of pro
tecting the young from their natural
enemies. and, also of producing the
greatest quantity of insect life suited
for their sustenance possible. In the
first place, however, the spawn of
frogs, which looks like Il gelatine mass
in the shape of a bunch of grapes,
will be found attached to some vege-
tatiOn in the breeding pond near the
surface of the water. As impregna-
ton takes place Immediately after it
is deposited there, every ''bunch''
should, on discovery, be taken out at
once with a large, long-handled dip

otherwise the spawn will be destroyed
by the frogs jumping into the pond
and coming in contact with it, for
anything that separates or breaks it
UP will cause it to sink to the bottom
of the pond, where, failing to get the
proper action of the sun, the eggs
cannot hatch.

It's Your Fault

Lit Is easy to fix the blame.
You are the guilty man. If the
politicians run the country, the
state, the parish, the city, the
ward and even the school board,
you are the man who is to blame.
You failed to register and pay
your poll tax You let the poll
tical heelers do the voting. You
delegated the powers of govern
ment to the CIRCULARS"
You are accustomed to describe
yourself as Democrat or as Il
Republican, as you happen to
think you think. You've got
another think coming. You are
neither Democrat nor a Repub-
lican. You are nothing in a po-
litical sense. You don't vote.
You are a political eunuch. You
have no more say in public affairs
than niger. You haven't even
a kick due you-unless some
voter chooses to kick you for
criticising the connuct of public
affairs. You're not a citizen.
The Sicilian who came over on
the last ship and took out his
papers is nearer citizenship than
you, for you haven't paid your
poll tax or registered.
Benjamin I. Waldo, president
of the New Orleans Poll Tax As

Gently:
"The man who does not pay
his poll tax is more serious
menace to the city and the state
than the anarchist or the profes-
sional agitator. The lack of IN
terest in politics on the part of
the average young American con-
stitutes a greater danger to the
republic than ever the influence
of the money power or the trusts.
LIZ there was an electorate of 40,-
900 i'm New Orleans there would
be better government; if every
man in the South devoted half
the time in politics that he does
to speculating on evils that dc
not exist there would no court
house rings honeycombing this
section from the Ohio to the
Gulf; if Americans would devote
a tenth of the time to study OF
their country's needs that they
do to golf, to baseball or to auto.

spectacle presented as that OF q
