The Ranidae: How to breed, feed and raise the edible frog
Unknown
Frog culture
Many farmers already have Frog ponds, and at a greater profit than any
other investment they have on their farm of a like amount. Poultry
keepers should have a small Frog pond, especially if they market their
product in some city near their Plant and have individual customers,
and sell their product direct. They would always have a steady market
for more Frog meat than they could supply, and at large profitable
prices, as it's a luxury that most people indulge in and would do so
more often if they knew where to get Frog meat.
Try yourself to buy Frog meat, and you will soon find that it's not to
be had at any price in most places, and when it once becomes known that
you are Raising Frogs you will soon find that your demand for Frog meat
is much greater than you can supply. It works in very well with poultry
raising if you can construct your ponds at not too great an expense,
and is much more profitable considering the investment and work.
Those Desirous of Light Work.
Many who are unable to do heavy work will find Frog Raising a very
desirable occupation. Being in the open air it tends to health, which
is beneficial to those who are sickly and to whom it becomes necessary
to take up one of the lighter occupations. The work is light and with
care and study can be made a source of a substantial income, and
carried on intelligently Frog Raising is as certain a business and as
profitable if not more than many undertakings, and you will always find
a ready market for all the Frogs you can raise. Any one of the large
Hotels or Restaurants in New York City will use more Frog meat in a
year than one Frog Raiser can supply, and you can get a standing order
for shipments of a certain number of pounds each week. Make inquiries
along this line and you will soon be convinced of the opportunity this
business offers.
For the Country Home.
If you are living in the city the greater part of the year, and so
fortunate as to have a country home, you by all means should put in a
pond and Raise Frogs, as they will be a delicacy for yourself and also
your friends when they come from the city to see you. And they will be
one of the natural products of the country, which one comes from the
city to the country to enjoy, and to many they will be an interesting
and novel sight. And in winter, when you are away, they will be dormant
and need no care.
As a Business.
If you are going into Frog Raising as a business, we recommend that you
make a small beginning, for nothing is more discouraging, after having
gone into a business exclusively, than to have reverses in the start
and lose a large portion of your investment for want of a little
practical experience. Many persons have met failure by starting on a
large scale at first, and without practical experience, where had they
started small might to-day be a grand success. This caution applies in
all business ventures, and it's the mistake that is made and cause of
most failures.
