NATURAL OYSTER BEDs.-AlOng the Jersey
shore, where the rivers empty into salt water
there exist large natural oyster beds, whence
are procured the seed oysters which supply the
planted beds. In the spring. the oyster in the
natural bed deposits its spawn-a white gela-
tinons substance, which adheres to whatever it
t,ur 's-and in this way spreads large growth
of small oysters, some not larger than the head
of pin. From these seed bed the oysters are
taken and laid in shoal salt water, to be easiIy
taken up when wanted, and where they remain
for several years, till they get of sufficient size
for market. Thousands of bushels of small
seed oysters are in this way distributed along
the shore on the planting grounds, or sold to be
carried away to other States. The practice is
to take these seed oysters away in the spring or
fall. Ii allowed to remain In their beds over
fall they will separate and spread but if re-
moved at that period of the year the youno
oysters die by thousands. If they do not Get
bedded early in the mud, the tides, blown out
by the winds, leave them ex posed, or adherring
to the ice the winter they are lifted out of their
beds and either carried away or crushed. Up-
less something is done for the protection of
these natural oyster beds, it is believed that
they will be destroyed, and even those engaged
In the business, it is said, acknowledge the de
struotiveness of the present mode of Operation.
and desire that the period of taking the oys.
ters for planting shall be confined to the sprinp
IT the year. Forty days from the Ist of Apri1
it is believed, would be sufficient for all plant
ing purposes, and an effort will be made to get
the Legislature to limit the planting to that
period. CLAIMS have been nearly DESTROYED by
the continued raking Of the bars, and the seed
is now only kept up by those hid in the bottom
Of the deep channels.-Phn Ledger.
