FROGS AND TURTLES
LARGE QUANTITIES 0^ THESE
COMMODITIES SHIPPED TO
EASTERN MARKETS
Missouri Holds First Rank as a Frog
State, Much of the Country Being
Low and Swampy-^-Dickinson and
Clinton Counties Lead in Iowa.
It is astonishing what large numbers
of frogs, terrapin and turtles are ship
ped to the markets as surplus pro
ducts, the average consumer having no
proper -idea of the magnitude of this
peculiar .branch of business. The flesh
of frogs is recognized as a daliity
morsel, and large quantities of them
are shipped east to supply fancy de
mands, the price obtained being a good
one. The skins have-a commercial val
ue, being used for fancy purses and
other leather novelties of which wo
men are fond, Terrapin and turtles
are noted for their delicacy and ten
derness, and form the basis of many
a delicious soup.
Missouri holds first place in the
quantity of frogs shipped to the east
ern markets. In 1905 this amount was
35,883 pounds valued at $7,176. Mis
souri is a good frog state for the rea
son that the swamps are large and
numerous. Iotfa also holds a promi
nent rank in the shipment of this
commodity, turtles and frogs being
shipped from Dickinson and Clinton
counties, both being in the swampy
ections of the state.

MANY PLAIN HORSES.
Heavy Midsummer Run Includes
Many Aged and Common Kinds.
Chicago, Aug. 3.—Midsummer re
ceipts are of much larger volume thans
for the same period last year, and also
the corresponding dates in 1904. The
broader demand is stimulating country
shippers to purchase many out of sea
son offerings, as evidenced in the num
ber of aged blemished arrivals includ
ed in the week's receipts. The plain
and blemished classes move slowly ot
an uneven decline of around $5, but the
good to choice offerings of all classes
are firm at the high level of midsum
mer prices. Big feeders, w.hile not
quotably higher, are active at $1600
200. Increased demand for loggers
tones valuea for good drafters, and the
bulk of the heavy business classos
clear readily at $1750223, and upward.
Liberal orders for expressers make
broad outlet for 1400 to 1500 pound
chunks at $130H170 and up to $180 for
evtra quality classes. Several foreign
operators are buying harness horses
and hunters for export at $1500375
and upward, the Increased demand
firming values for good drivers. Re
ceipts are large than estimated, but
more liberal orders are clearing the
offerings at the following prices:
