"Oysters will be very rare delicacy
IN few years" said 9. G. Hunt, an oys-
ter man Of New York. For many
years the beds were preserved to large
extent by having an oyster season and
keeping alive the popular idea that oys-
tiers were not good except from Septem-
Der to April. This gave four months
during which the oysters were let alone
and allowed to increase. As a matter of
fact, think they are a little better dur
ing those four months than at any other
time. This was first discovered by the
seaside hotel men, and oysters were
served during the summer months. The
guests demanded bivalves when they re-
turned to their homes. and now in all
Eastern cities signs of Fresh Oysters
are as numerous in July and August as
in January and February The new
demand is being supplied, and at no time
are the beds left undisturbed. 1t is now
only question of few years before the
oysters are gone, and all because the
summer resort hotel men disabused the
minds of the people as to their not being
good to eat from April to September"

Ing on my property?'
Il think not, my lord,' said the poach-

Doesn't it appeal to your magma

Not much. I don't see how it's

down. The public didn't have to wait
for you to be born to find out that au-
tumn leaves fall to the ground. That's
the way they always fall If you'll go
