"Frogs!" said tiie tnarketman. "I could cell a thousand of them this minute if 1 Imd them. While the clubs and big hotels are cry ing for them we can't get a bak er's dozen in a week." Recognizing the growing de mand for frogs as an article of epicurean diet, the Fishing Com mission of the Sta'eof Pennsyl vania has decided to encourage the raising of frogs by distribut ing free millions of tadpoles to farmers and others who are m a position to take up frog raising as an industry. Heretofore there has been little systematic attempt to supply the market with frogs. In vacation days bands of boys have hunted the marshlands in search of the croakers, knowing that they were sure of a little pocket money for the trouble of taking a basketful of "bulls", to market. The method of catching the frogs has been to fish for them with a hook and line, the bait be ing a piece of red flannel. The game will jump for this delusive temptation and find itself caught on the hook. Another way the boys have of obtaining a supply of frogs for the market is to shoot them with small shot from an air rifle. The regular fishermen, those who seek out a living by catching frogs when fish are scarce, and who ply their trade in the swamplands of Jersey and elsewhere, depend upon the quick ness of their hand to capture the elusive quarry. j Withonly these irregular sourc- es of supply the marketmen have heen unable to furnish their cus-! tomers with a steady quantity of frogs, and at times the caterers ' have neen compelled to withdraw j the item from their menus. The j law gov erning supply and demand 1 has putf the price of frogs in theme times to a figure that makes it actually profitable to raise them for market purposes, and the State of Pennsylvania intends to ' assist all who wish to take up the industry by supplying the nu- ' cleus for a froggery. j Epicures say that fried frog is a dainty fit for a king. Some eat ' only the legs. In the markets, J however, frogs are exhibited in in their entirety, minus the skin. It is said that all parts of the frog are edible, but some limit their j desires to the hind legs. . The ap pearance of the frog, both before and after he has been prepared for sale in the marke , is not ap petizing, but those who are able to close their eyes to this draw back, say that as between fried' frog and fried chicken their pre ferences are decidedly with the ! former.
