and so cents till the end of the season in
Maine. The average amount of oil for
the season to barrel of fish is about
one gallon from fish taken south of Cape
Cod, and two and one-half gallons from
those taken later on the coast of Maine.
Before the introduction of the purse
seine, gill-nets were the chief means of
capture. Until within a years most of
the menhaden fishing east of the Penob-
scot river was carried on with gill nets.
These nets were usually of No. II to IL
four-thYead Irvine, of 81 to inch mesh,
and from 80 to $50 feet in length by 10 to
"a feetin depth. Two men in an open
sailboat could tend dozen of these nets,
which were set in the night by being an
chored in favorite haunts of the fish.
Since the general adoption of the purse
seine there has been considerable opposi-
ton to this apparatus on the ground that
it is destruction to the fishery, and Con-
gress and legislature have been petitioned
to prohibit the use of menhaden seines
within certain specified tracts of water.
Maine and Massachusetts,, in particular.
have enacted several laws for the protec-
ton of the menhaden fishery. The most
important law in Maine passed in 1866
&c prohibited the setting of any seine
within three miles of the shore for the
purpose of taking menhaden, but "a net
of no more than 140 meshes shall not be
deemed a seine."
But it would seem that the old ques-
tons of State rights versus the power of
the Federal government, as applied to
fishery rights, is bound to continue
vexed one; like Banquo's ghost, it will
not down at the bidding.

BRIDGToN, Me-, May 6, 1892.
Recently some of our Maine fishermen
have been justly exercised over the Con-
gressional bill which aims to render in
operative the State laws against certain
methods of menhaden and mackerel fish
ing. This agitation of the question has
attracted especial public attention to
these industries, and is the text for the
following article on menhaden fishing
the more important of the two fisheries
in which it is the writer's aim to give at
one and the same time instructive data
and an interesting insight into the
methods of catching and preparing this
fish for market.
The geographical range of the men
haden is along the Atlantic seaboard.
from Maine to Florida. They are found
in bays and rivers as far inland as brack-
ish water extends, and range oceanward
as far as the Gulf Stream.
The menhaden (Breuoortia tyranmus) is
a fish of the family Chipeidae. 1t is
known by as many names as there were
colors in Joseph's coat-menhaden, pogy,
bonyfish, mossbunker, hardhead, white
fish, bunker, oldwife, bugfish, cheboy,
ellwife, alewife, fatback, greentail, wife,
yellow-tail shad. 1t is about as long as
the common scattering, but is deeper
and more robust in appearance. Its
average length is from - to Is inches.
Schools of menhaden make their ap-
pearancc in the waters of the Atlantic
coast, to which seaboard the fishery is
limited, on the approach of warm wealth
er and they remain until the cooling of
the waters drive them away, the tenn
perature most favorable for them being
coasts of the Southern States they ap-
pear earlier and remain longer than
further north; on the Massachusetts
coast about the middle of May, and be-
gin to leave in September.
The remark of a Congressman, in one
of the recent discussions in the National
House, that 1.-THE coming and going of
the menhaden are beyond the knowledge
Of any man., is literally true, for there
is nothing known of the movements or
habits of these fish to determine the
winter home of the great schools that
summer along the New England and
southern shores; but one of the most
plausible theories advanced is that they
remain in temperate stratas of ocean
waters known to exist under the Gulf
Stream and between it and tile American
coast.
The commercial Importance of the men
haden has of late years come into due ap-
probation. AS a bait fish it excels all
others. As a food resource it is thought
to have great possibilities. Large GUAM
titles were for while canned under the
names Of American sardines'' and
