NUS Ell BEARING ROPES.

burdened ropes swing and vibrate in
the currents, allowing each oyster to
escape the accommodating sediment
and to secure an equal share OF the
volume OF floating food. Their
growth is certainly rapid; an oyster
three-fourths Of an inch in diameter
in March, when suspended to the
rope, has attained by October about
four times its original diameter, and
has thus become marketable. Two
years and a half, however, is gen.
orally allowed to produce an oyster OF
first grade in the Tarentine market.
A rope fourteen feet in length will
rear about 1000 marketable oysters.
Another device used in giving oysters
their final growth Is a net covered
ring, which often supports 400 or 500
oysters.
Fusano and Lucrine Lake, near
Naples, are also oyster-bearing loca-
tions, but decidedly unimportant as
compared with Tarente. The method
of culture is the same as at Tarente.
1t may be added that dredging is eX
ceptionally or never INDUCED.

and surface. A Tarentine park rep
resents every branch OF the industry;
on an area OF fifteen feet the culturist
may collect the young oysters, grow,
fatten, and prepare them for market.
A Tarentine park consists OF cor
ner posts, web Of rope and various
suspended devices for collecting,
growing, fattening and storing oys-
tiers. The corner posts, firmly i'm
planted. mark the boundaries OF the
park. At each corner these are usu-
ally arranged in pairs, somewhat in
clined toward each other and dashed
together few feet above the surface.
Thus fixed they appear to be quite
permanent The firm calcareous
character of the bottom allows the
posts to be readily inserted by blows
Of heavy mallet The posts them
selves are Of green pine, 6 or inches
in diameter. The depth Of the har-
Dor allows their average length TO be
about twenty feet. In deeper water
two or even three require to be
spliced together, bringing, therefore,
into culture depth as great as forty
feet. The ropes forming network
between the corner posts must sup
port the weight Of the collecting de-
vices. The cordage must therefore
be strong and durable in water. A
wire-grass rope an inch in diameter
is manufactured in Naples for this
purpose. 1t lasts for one or two sea.
sons, and costs about &c per yard.
Loose bundles OF hazel or goose
boughs, termed fascines, are suspend
ed by the roIes in the water. They
become quickly watersoaked and form
the most convenient collectors.
These, when covered with young oys-
tiers, are broken into twigs and woven
into ropes, which, when suspended
from the network above, utilize the
water volume from surface to bot
tom. Oysters that have become do
tached and fallen to the bottom, to-
gether with grown oysters, are placed
in a peculiarly constructed basket
and suspended precisely as are the
twig ropes.
Preparing the Fascines.
The fascines gather the spat from
the oysters suspended on the ropes.
The spawning season is greatest be.
tween April and October, but expert
ments show that spawning occurs
during the whole year. The fascines

The Official reports Of immigration
to the United States show great
falling off. Arrivals for the last
fiscal year were only 81, 404, being
a decrease Of l86, 532 from that for the
twelve months next preceding, and
being much the smallest total Of the
last fifteen years, which have con-
stituted the period OF most active
migration TO this country. The ar
rivals during the latest fiscal year in
clude 1000 from the United King
dom, SO, 800 from Germany, 43, 900
from Italy, 1880 from Austria,
about as many from Russia, and
81, 600 from Sweden and Norway, no
other country sending as many as
5000. The decrease approximately
was 20, 900 from Austria, and 30, 600
each from Germany, Italy. Great
Britain, and Sweden and Norway.
The fact of decrease in the number
Of arrivals is noted for all the princi-
pal ports except for San Francisco,
for which slight increase is re-
ported. The following table shows
the total ofimmigrants for each fiscal
year since the one ending in the
middle of 1879:

mark Of the orator Lucius Crassus,
who, as his orator, defended him in a
suit for trespass against the state in
the matter Of oyster property; his
time honored pleasantly that the

II necessary, raise oysters with sue

credit than he perhaps deserves. Ger

Gulf were very early known, and

doubtless, with method Of culture, in
the lakes near Naples. Tarente, as

Next to Debs and Huntington, the
peanut has come in for more comment
during the past few months than
anything else, human, diabolical or
divine. There seems to be a peanut
loom Of large dimensions sweeping
the country, and it is made very clear
by its advocates that the peanut is
about the only thing fit for food that
is produced anywhere in the world.
Alleged chemical analyses set forth
with mathematical accuracy how
many Daniel Websters or Shadows
there are in a ton Of peanuts, and
how much money should be made in
producing them. 1t is quite likely
that much of such stuff is bosh, and
quite likely also that the table given
below, showing the relative nutrient
values of different substances, is of
the same type; still we give it for
what it may be worth:

Nearly all the decline in numbers
for 1894 occurred in the last half OF
the fiscal year. That reported for
last June was little more than a
third of the total for June, 1893, and
was at tie rate Of 100000 Ier an.
mum. Since then the balance of the
movement has been in the other
direction, so that If the same rate be
kept for the whole year the returns
for 1895 will show that the United
States Is losing to other countries in
stead Of gaining from them. Statis-
tics for the port of New York for the
month ending with Aug. 2, which
practically covers July, show that
10, 963 steerage passengers departed,
while only IL, $40 came in, and of the
latter only about 80 per cent. are re-
garded as true immigrants.

TO have had an oyster culture than

The Modern Industry.
The modern industry is carried on
extensively only at Tarente. 1t is
here that the major portion OF the
seed oysters are produced which are
afterward cultivated in the bays and
tidal ponds of the southwest coast
and supply the general market of
Italy.
AS one approaches the city of
Tarente on the railroad from Brin-
dist, very good idea may be OBJ
tanned OF the extent Of the oyster
culture as the road bends around the
shore of the Mare Piccolo. AS far
out as the eye can see the bay is
bristling with oyster stakes, whose
ends project several feet above the
surface. These are soon observed to
pass in regular lines, and to mark off
the water surface into squares as Of
a checker board. These Enclosure;
measure about fifteen feet square.
They are leased at about soc a year,
and each culturist secures as many
as he can manage. They are rented
from stock company, which has OBJ
tanned from the city council the
leasehold Of the entire bay bottom,
surveyed in about twenty secti ons,
for an annual rental of about S1O,-
900. The minuteness of the subdi-
vision Is the result and also the
cause of the competition, and the
Energy of rival culturists adds much
TO the success OF the industry

Oyster Culture.


Modern oyster culture seems to
have been derived from Italy. Be
fore the visit OF Nj. Coste to Lake
Furara In 1853, but little had been
done In France to regenerate an In
dustry almost on the verge OF extlnc-
tion. The report of Coste pictured
the successes of the cultural proc
esses of Italy and strongly urged
their introduction on the French
coast, causing the institution, under
the patronage OF Napoleon Ill OF a
series of experimental measures, out
OF whose successes and failures has
grown one of the most important Of
the coast industries Of France.
Especially interesting Is the fact,
already shown by Coste, on evidence
furnished by pictured funeral vases,
that the processes in use to-day in
Tarente or in the lakes near Naples
are apparently the very ones that the
Romans employed as early as the
time OF Marius. The oyster stakes
of the Lucrine Lake, we are told,
represent in appearance and actual
position the very ones that Pliny
may have inquisitively examined,
little thinking that their use would
be handed down to pOsterity more
carefully than the volumes of his
lifelong work.
Every one who has written OF Ro-
man oyster culture has referred to
Sergius Orator as the inventor Of this
branch Of industry. 1t would seem,
however, from evidence that has en-
dured 1000 years, that this wealthy
Roman represented little more than
a successful culturst Of his day, note
worthy, perhaps, because patric'an.
