EATING FROGS.
It is a mistake to think that frogs as an article of diet are confined to France, or even to the Continent of Europe. In America frogs legs, at which people turned up their noses in •disgust only a few years ago, have now become so popular an article of diet that mo fewer than 6,600,000 frogs a year are killed in Minnesota alone to supply the demand. The NorthWestern frogs are the most delicate, but the biggest are the Southern bullfrogs. The latter are not so sweet or tender as the ftarmer. Frogs are caught at all times of the year, but the greatest. catches are in the spring and autumn; in the winter frog catching is difficult because ice, I'ftuii two ieet thick, must be cut through in order to reach their nests.
