PREFACE. 



Think of it ! " One Dollar a Pound." 



The Editor of this book was brought face to face with the true 

 possibilities in Frog raising by his love for this delicate meat and 

 his inability to get it. As I had visited all the principal markets in 

 New York City, a market where it is known the world over that if 

 there is anything in the eatable line to be found it can be found there. 

 This was not so of frog meat. After making several attempts and 

 failing, finally one day I found about twenty pounds, which had been 

 shipped from a distant point, and when I inquired the price? "'One 

 dollar a pound," it set me to thinking, as it will you, now that I 

 have brought the subject to your notice. At prices like this and the 

 demand far in excess of the supply, as I had inquired of the market 

 man if he had many calls for frog meat, and his reply was, "More 

 than we can get to supply." Now what more inducement does any- 

 one want? This information should make you ambitious to go into 

 the business of Frog Raising. You hear on all sides of you to-day 

 that there is no opportunity to go in business and make money, as 

 all the branches of industry are overproduced. Here surely is one 

 line of business that is not overproduced. And a business that is not 

 necessary to large capital to start, and one that bids fair to bring 

 him who ventures good profitable results.
