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

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

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.
