how sARDINEs ARE CANNED.
Only small Fraction OF These Fish
Are Now Imported from
France

Next to the French the American
people are the largest consumers Of
sardines in the world, saws a leading
wholesale dealer in such canned fish
in New York to Washington Star
writer recently. Last year the con-
sumption of sardines in the United
States amounted to 1900, 600 cases. or
200 100000 cans OF this quantity I.4G0.-
600 cases were the product Of the state
Of Maine. 10000 cases were put up in
California and the remaining 10000
cases came from France. Thirty years
ago all the sardines eaten in this
country were imported from France.
To-day nearly three-quarters Of the
sardines sold here are put up in 81
packing houses in Maine. These con-
Germs are controlled by a trust com
pany which employs 6.o00 workmen,
who can turn out !, 10000 cases Of the
fish annually.
In Maine sardines are caught off the
western shores Of the St. Croix river
and Passamaquoddy bay. The fishing
season commences early in May and
lasts until late in the fan of the year
The fish are taken in brush weirs, re-
sembling ordinary pound nets, into
which they are led by means of large
leaders and wings, which terminate
IN funuel-shaped entrance. Their es-
cape is prevented by the extension Of
these wings into the Enclosure, there
by forming a triangular hook at each
end Of il. so that the fish, as they cir
Gle inside the weir, are directed-past
the entrance. When the fish are plen-
tiful In the nets quantities 90 scales
appear upon the surface of the water.
The nets are then lifted and their con-
tents are dumped by the fishermen
into their boats. The fish make d lit
tie squeak when taken from the wa
ter and die almost instantly. An or
binary catch of sardines gives to each
boat anywhere from 2a0o to Gd16 fish,
the price of which is from 50 to $3.50
per 1000, according TO the quantity Of
fish that are being caught
Arriving at the packing house the
fish are carefully cleaned. This opera
ton over. they are sorted according
to size and carried into another part Of
the establishment, where they are put
into pickle.
THE length Of time required by this
operation varies according to the size
~ the fish. After this the fish are
washed and placed with care upon wire
nets. called 'grills, on which they are
sent 10 the drying room, where they
are dried by means OF large fans or ven
tilators run by powerful machinery.
When dry and while still upon the
grills the fish are cooked by plunging
them into tanks containing olive oil.
After this cooking the sardines, still
upon the grills, are left to cool, snd
when cold the work Of placing them in
halves and quarter cans filed with
olive oil, tomato and mustard sauce
Is begun. This work done, the cans
are sealed with solder and are ready 70
be put in cases, holding 100 tins, for the
market.
Like canned goods Of every descrip-
ton. sardines are cheaper now than
thew formerly were, and American sar-
dimes are sold for less than the inn
ported. American sardines are now
exported from this country TO the
West Indies and South America.
