Admiral Sir ISAAC Corrtsr has introduced on the
Devonshire coast a new branch of industry, which pro-
mises to furnish employment and food for thousands.
It is the drying of pilchards ft r winter consumption, in
the same way as he:rings. The Plymouth Journal
says, the result has fully answered expectation, and
that the pilchards dried by Sir ISAAC are superior in
flavour to any herrings now brought to market. The
process of curing them is cheap and simpler—The
pickle is made with one part sugar or molasses, and
four parts of salt, with sal prunella in the proportion of
six ounces to every 15 pounds of sugar and salt toge-
ther—sufficient water is added to make a pickle, in
which a potltoe will float. The fish are lelt for a week
in the pickle, and then smoked as herrings are.
