During tho season which begins during tho latter part of February, and continuing until June 1, the frog hunters are paid from 5 to 15 cents for their catches, according to size;. A dark night and a bullseyo lan tern are all the requirements of the frog hunter. Tho light blinds the frogs and they are easily caught. Tho total receipt for frogs ono day last season tested the capacity of tho plant and carpenters were put to work Immediately enlarging tho quarters for the 1C.000 frogs on hand. It has been feared by somo that tho rapid consumption of these frogs would exceed tho supply for tho next year, but tho hunters, who are well Informed, state that tho supply Is In exhaustible in this section and that frogs are as plentiful as ever, not withstanding the heavy shipment of tho previous year. The young frogs, however, are protected and will be ready for tho market next season. BOYS IN FOOTBALL DREAM.
