MENHAnRM O1I-Manhadan

MENHADBN OIL.-Menhadem, or "pocies -
as the fishermen call them, are a species of fish
which swarm in millions along the shores in
the summer season, and although formerly used
only for bait, they are now caught in large
quantities by the down east" fishermen for the
manufactures Of an oil, which is valuable for
dressing leather and other purposes. This
business, as we learn from the Bangor Wing, is
now an important and growing one, producing
many thousand dollars annually, with large
profit. They are taken in nets, in large
quantities boiled in a large kettle fitted up in
a furnace at the shore, then passed into press
constructed like a cider press, and the oil
pressed from them. 1t is then barreled up and
rent to the Boston market and elsewhere.
When the fish become tat they yield a gallon or
more per hundred (the fish being about the size
of an alewive,) or barrel of oil from ?. 500 The
fishermen sometimes take from 1900 to 2OOO in
a single net set over night. The oil was worth
$50 per barrel last year. This year it is not
worth 50 much-say from SIS to SlS-but it paws
large profit at that. The refuse or s'chum''
left, after expressing the OIL is used for manure
and is said to be almost equal to guano.
Although ut the North these fish are considered
unfit for food, there is limited demand for
them from the South, where they are used, in
some sections, after being sailed, to feed the
slaves.-BOstoR Journal.
