OYSTER CULTURE IN CuINA.-Like so many
other peculiar things in the Celestial Empire
the Chinese system Of oyster culture differs
widely from that Of Europe or America. In the
southern parts of China collectors OF bamboo
are placed in the oyster beds. much alter the
same fashion as the elaborate tiles and hives
employed in France These bamboo oyster
cstchers, however. are prepared in q curious
manner The canes arc exposed tor ABOUT TWO
months 10 the rays of the sun, and then placed
for the same period in salt water, after which
thew ara again dried for several days. Notches
ara then cut in the canes, into which empty oys'
ter shells are fixed, and thus prepared tney ate
driven into tho seashore between hIgh ana low
water mark, and left standing tor catch the young
oyster spat. Those localities are considered tue
best where tho rise and fall Of tide sthe greatest
SO that the bivslves may BIO alternately covered
by the food and exposed to the air on CPD lloe
A large trade is carried on by these collectors.
and successful oyster culturists are known 10
have amassed considerable fortunes: The young
oysters seems 10 develop very rapidly, and are
ready for the market when two years old.
Large eusnties of oysters are dried instead Of
being eaten in q fresh state. For this purpose
thew are taken from the shells, simply plunged
into boiling water and removed at once. alter
which they are exposed 10 the rays OF the sun
till every particle of moisture has evaporsted.
They will keep for considerable length OF time
in this state The finest and latest oysters,
bred and fattened on the bamboo culch, arc
selected for preparation after this method. those
