a piece of news he smooths Off some

FROG FARMING
BEGUN BY JAPS
Natives Of Nippon Develop
Strong Taste for Edible
Swamp Reptiles.

That frogs can be profitably raised
in Japan for food purposes has been
proved by the experimental depart
ment Of the Japanese government.
Frogs have long been looked upon
as delicacies N foreign countries,
but they have never been consid-
cred as a food proposition until
very recently by the japanese.
DR.. watanabe in 1918 brought
some edible frogs from the United
States to Japan. They have been
kept at the Shiba Infectious Dis
ease Experimental Station and
there a system of experiments have
been made in breeding and raising.
! The body of this variety of frog
Is about Z inches long and the legs
are II inches, There is about 200
momme of meat to each frog. This
frog lives always in the water and
feeds on insects and small she'll
fish so as a food it is clean and nu-
tritious.
In delicacy of taste, frog meat
surpasses fish or fowl and is even
better than the highly priced sup
pom. or swapping turtle. In foreign
countries, frog meat is usually
served either as a stew or a outlet.
but the Japanese prefer the meat
broiled with shoyu (tsukepakD.
The government is taking steps
to encourage the raising and eat
ing of frogs.
