THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
This Quiet and Well-Behaved Bivalve
Has a Dangerous Foe.
PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger


The "bOrer," pest about the size Of small
strawberry, Is working great havoc among the
oyster beds In Delaware Bay and tributary
streams Captain Moses Veale of the oyster
schooner White Lilly says that the destructive
powers OF the borer have been known to
oystermen only a few years. He had followed
oyster-digging nearly thirty-iive years. and the
first borer he saw was about ten years ago, but
their ravages in the oyster beds were com para
lively unnoIiced until last year.
Captain Veale said that last year the num-
Der of dead oysters with holes made by borers
in the shell became so great that oystermen
were alarmed. This year the work OF the
bOrers has become a grave matter, and il Ii
continues many bays Will become depopuated
OF oysters. From one bed We dredged on this
trip. we got 1900 baskets OF oysters, but out
OF these only 200 were good, the dead oysters
having been killed by borers. peculiar
apparent selection of the best oyster beds. We
have found this TO be true several times this
season. We have found a bed of small oysters
almost entirely free from borers. Thi bed
will be separated from another he'd of larger
oysters by 200 feet, but this latter bed will be
50 badly affected by the creatures that it will
hardly pay TO work ii.
From what can learn from oyster men the
destruction wrought by borers is more severe
In Delaware Bay than in other places.
1.-The work OF the borer this year makes a
double misfortune, for the oyster beds were
badly damaged by tile big storm in August and
and September. Very few people who are not
in the oyster-dredging business know anything
Of the methods of he borer When l first took
notice OF its work secured several oysters Just
after the borer had fastened itself 30 The she'll

Is not killed When the hole of the bOrer Is
made near the center OF he shell The oyster is
attacked in Its vital parts and dies In three or
four days after the hole Is first made"
Some OF the bed-Owners near the Maurice
River have lost large sums of money this year
OH account of the borer. Thomas Munsey, who
mas number of large beds. IL is said will lose
$4,000. Several other men have lost nearly
as much through this unlocked for calamity
and number of men have lost in the neighbor-
hood OF $4,000 or $4,000. Ali oystermen say
there can be no way of taking away The bofer
