cULTrvATlNG FROG LEGS.
Government May Make Them ordl
nary Articles of Diet.

washington, April 80. Frog legs
may become as ordinary a dish as
bacon and eggs if the United States
bureau of fisheries succeeds in the
propagating scheme with which it has
just started to experiment. At the
bureaus hatchery at Edsnton, near
the western end of Albermarle Sound,
n. c., efforts are being made this
spring for the first time to discover
how frogs may be propagated rapid
ly.
There is much territory in North
Carolina Virginia and Maryland as
we'll as in some other states where,
in the opinion of fish experts, frogs
could thrive and become so plentiful
in the course of few years that they
would become articles of common diet.
