OYSTER CULTURE.
Important Experiment Being Made
by Hon. ~, NJ. Damon.

Eighteen months ago Hon. S. Nj.
Damon imported from San Francisco
through Messrs. Lewis d Co. one
hundred live oysters-at least all
but three were alive on arriyal-for
planting in his fish ponds at Moana-
lua. Thus far the experiment has
borne promise of a successful issue.
The first evidence of the continued
vitality of the oysters after planting
in their strange beds was their adhe-
sion to the rocks. They had been
placed on coral slabs under water.
To cover them with mud would be
fatal. The oysters have grown in
size. Young oysters like barnacles
have attached themselves TO the
shells of the parents. Another pro-
missing evidence is that the oysters
that were dead on arrival bear these
young growths.
Mr.. Damon procured second lot
of so oysters for planting in shall
lower water than the first ones. He
is greatly pleased with the care taken
by Messrs. Lewis q Co.'s agents on
the Coast in packing the oysters.
On the voyage they were fed with
meal. Should these hardshell immi-
grants thrive TO maturity, an inn
portant addition will have been made
TO domestic diversified industries,
