Neuenfeldt ships 100000 frogs
legs a year from his back yard frog
factory, near Oshkosh, His business
has developed to such an extent that
he has an office in Chicago and hires
several men to operate the farm.
The frog factory IS a plot of
ground 70x100 feet in size. The
frogs are kept in concerto trenches
so feet long and feet vide, through
which run refrigerating pipes.
Running water is provided
The frogs are not gathered on the
lot, but are caught in nearby streams
and ponds. The pipes carry cold
water into the tanks, causing the
frogs to hibernate. Thus the croak-
ing is eliminated
When a frog order is received,
the required number of frogs are
scooped from trench and placed in
a tank Of water charged with cleo
tricity. The electric current kills
the frogs and straightens out his
legs, making amputation easy.

Brooks fully thirty minutes to land
his prize, as he took no chances on
breaking his light line
Mr.. Brooks had pictures Of the
fish made to send to the manufac-
turers Of the tackle he used, and
to fisherman's magazine. In the
nav of the fish when cleaned were
found two small bass and two

lively, all of which appeared to have

RIVER DAM YEARLY SAVES
IT'S COST OF CONSTRUCTION

KEOKUK, Ia, May Six mil
lion tons of coal are saved annually
by the operation Of the Koeouk dam
in the Mississippi river here, accord
ing to an estimate by the operators
of the dam.
Power hidden under the surface
of the Mississippi and harnessed by
the dam is lighting stores and run
ming street cars in st. Louis and a
great many smaller towns in Iowa,
illinois and Missouri. Miles upon
mile of cables and conduits run out
from the dam in almost every dl.
rection.
Accepting the average price Of
coal, it can readily be seen that the
saving in one year Of this fuel
would more tran pay for the entire
cost of the dam, which was placed
at S29,O00,00o in 1913, when 1t
was completed.
