The Snrdine Indnstrx.

Sardines are little fishes preserved
ia oil. So much everybody knows,
but few of the multitude who eat
them know even whence they come.
The sardine is a little fellow of the
herring family, taking his name from
the island OF Sardinia in the Mediter.
ranean. The best preserved specimens
Of him come from the French coast,
not in the Mediterranean, but north
from Spain to the English channel
About April l, the old-fashioned
smaeks, manned by four men and a
boy, begin work, and after May |, the
fish move northward, increasing in
size and giving its turn to each
station along the west coast.
The process Of putting up the fish
is simple. After sorting they are
put in baskets of twined
wire and cooked in caldrons of boiling
oil; then they are packed "as tight as
sardine" in their little boxes, hot oil
is poured over them, and the sealing,
after careful expulsion of the air,
completes the work. The nearness of
the factory to the place where the
catch" is, and the quality of the oil
used, determine the quality of the fish.
If they must be carried far before
boiling, packing in salt is necessary,
which toughens the flesh and gives
the tiny bones more consistency and
resistance than is agreeable to the
eater. If the oil used is good olive,
all very well, but if cheap trade is
catered for, or if the packer is greedy,
he may use "arachidi," or peanut oil,
or the oil expressed from cotton
seed, this disagreeable stuff being
more or less sold as linseed oil fol-
paints, and being largely used as a
substitute for, or adulterator of, the
much dearer olive. The city OIL
Bordeaux has dozen large firms in
the sardine trade, and these support
the great factories In 1879, year Of
remarkable abundance for this fishery
a single boat not uncommonly brought
in %. 900 to 10000 sardines in day
