FROGS BEING PLANTED.

Bullfrogs by the thousands are be-
ing placed in the streams of Penn
sylvania by the State Department of
Fisheries, and it is expected that by
the end of July more young frogs
will have been distributed than ever
before handled by the States fish
propagators.
The frogs are being shipped from
the Union City, Torresdale and
Wayne hatcheries in cans, each con-
tanning a thousand or so in the tad
pole stage, and are consigned either
to fish wardens or to persons inter
ested in fishing, who see that they
are promptly placed in the proper
localities.
The propagation of frogs was un-
dertaken a few years ago by the de-
partment when the demand for the
greenbacked "bullies" became so
great on the part of hotels and res
taurants. This year the Matching
has been attended by much success
and the planting" of the young
frogs is being vigorously pushed.

the smaller merchandise as difficult as
possible.
The common export postal rate Of
the United States is IL cents per pound
Great Britain has more than 200 for
eign parcel post conventions; Germany
has more than 120. The United States
has forty-seven. The table above shows
clearly enough that our rates to the
few countries that we do reach are 80
per cent higher than Great Britain's
and nearly 100 per cent higher than
those of Germany.
Our law allows no indemnity on lost
or damaged foreign parcels, even If
registered, and the payment of our ex-
orbitant ten cent registration fee ap-
plies insurance only to first class for
eign mail up to $40 in value, first class
domestic matter up to $50 and domes-
tic parcels up to S25.

Far Behind In Parcel Export.

The average German parcel brought
by post to this country in 1912 weigh
ed about six pounds; our average re-
turn parcel about two and one-half
pounds. Our parcel export business
for 1912 amounted to less than 10000
parcels, but in 1911 Great Britain eX
ported more than 100000 parcels val
ued at about $34,0O0yOO0. Our parcel
post export business is less, in fact,
than that of some of the smallest
countries in Europe.

COUNTIES TO TEACH FARMER
Intensive Practical Training Piannec
In Southern Minnesota

Intensive practical education for the
farmer and rural betterment are the
aims of the Southern Minnesota Devel-
opment league, which covers thirty-one
counties
Startling census statistics published
soon after the federal count in 1910
were chiefly responsible for the organ
ization. These showed that the popu-
lation of these counties had decreased
from 1900 to 1910, the loss being almost
entirely in the rural districts, while
the cities generally showed an in
crease. To make the rural sections
more attractive and the farms more
productive was the manifest problem.
The league, which was incorporated
in April of this year, will begin by or
ganizing farm bureaus In each of the
thirty-on counties. These bureaus are
to be Incorporated under the state law
and will have charge of all develop
ment work within the separate coun-
ties. The work of each bureau will be
divided into departments, such as pub
licity, highways, beef cattle, dairy cat
tie, silos, alfalfa, public affairs and or
ganization, sheep, poultry. domestic sci
ence, rural schools, town and country
clubs. County farm agents will work
through this bureau and in cooperation
with the state and federal agricultural
departments.
The officers of the league have been
impressed by the fact that many coun-
ties in Illinois and Iowa have increased
their resources 100000 or 100000 In
single season through county agri-
cultural agents, and they believe sim
liar results can be obtained in Mime
sofa.

Superstitions on Crickets.

The cricket on the hearth is still a
welcome guest in those English house
holds that he deigns to visit. His COM
ing is a harbinger of good fortune,
while if he leaves the house that is an
infallible sign of imminent disaster.
A correspondent in Notes and Queries
refers to a belief prevalent in Lanca-
shire that crickets are lucky about a
house and will do no harm to those
who use them well, but that they eat
holes in the worsted stockings of such
