SCALING HEARINGS.
An Important Work That Is Performed
in a Somewhat Peculiar Manner.


in Somewhat Peculiar Manner.
A peculiar feature of the smoked her
ring industry in this country is the method
by which the fish are scaled. Enormous
quantities of them are captured in weirs
and gill nets and the catch thrown into
boats. When load has been secured the
fisherman threads them OUT by walking
briskly back and forth through the mass
of squirming objects at the bottom Of the
boat. The motion of the 1sh upon each
other and also the contact with the feet
and legs of the 'treader" quickly removes
the scales. In the course of half an hour
a skillful operator will thus scale four or
five hogsheads of the fish.
Another method consists in using piece
of board about foot long and four or five
inches in width, which Is securely fastened
to long handle. This IS thrust into the
center of the mass aud moved briskly
about until by continued stirring the
scales are removed in an incredibly short
time. The work must be done while the
fish are fresh. as otherwise THE scales be
come set and can only De taEsB CT with
great difficulty.
Care is exercised in both processes, "a, Il
not systematically done. many of the catch
viii be only partially scaled, and if stirred
about or "trod out for too long time the
flesh will be soft or bruised, in which case
the catch will be less salable, and. If the
skin is broken, absolutely worthless.
After scaling they are washed aud sailed
in tubs. barrels or hogsheads; then strung
on sticks, from twenty-five to thirty I've
being placed on each, according TO their
size. The next step consists IN reweshing,
TO remove ali the blood and dirt that has
accumulated, and the strings are then laid
on frames in the open air TO drain and also
70 harden and dry the gill covers This
being accomplished they are taken 20 the
smokehouse, properly arranged, the fires
started and the smoking begins.
Several kinds Of wood are used for this
purpose IN different countries, white birch
seing preferred in France, while in Eng
land. Scotland and Holland oak chips and
sawdust are considered the best. In this
counfry zine Logs that have been soaked IN
salt water are selected, as the salt renders
the wood les inRArnmsole and i also gives

process Is nearly completed, bald a IRE

THE CHERRY TREES.

Until recently, cherries were the
easiest fruits TO propagate, but now
hey are the most difficult in many
,ections. This is all due to what they
call the "spotting" disease, which be-
5ins oil the leaves, and extends until
he whole tree is stripped of all foil
age. The shoots around the trees be-
como weak and spindling, and the life
of once fine, hardy trees seems to have
been sapped out of them. This dis
case is still restricted to certain sec
tions; but SO far no remedy has been
suggested that proves effective.
Even potash around the trees docs
not appear to stimulate the trees to
better growth and production. The
black-knots have made their appear
arcc upon the cherry trees again this
season. and threaten to kill hundreds
of fine trees. This disease has been
mostly restricted 10 the choice va
ricties, hut the Inalady now injecting
Tie dessert cherries is Of much more
disastrous character. After growing
well for few years the trees begin
to dis- and no remedy seems to be able
20 save them.
Frequently the bark splits, diselos,
ing the wood below, and occasionally
the woody fibre is destroyed. Ths
foliage Is only half developed, turna
yellow and falls of. One twig aftes

b comes useless. The proper treatment
for this is still unknown, but washing
and spraying with solution of pot.
