A GREAT SEASON FOR THEM.
There Will Not Only be Big Crop
of OYSTERS. But THEY'LL be Fine.

IN. Y. Letter in Chicago Inter Ocean.l
An announcement that will be received
with JOY all over the country Is that
oysters will be exceptionally fine and
plentiful this season. While the west
has been suffering from drouth, the
Atlantic seaboard has been deluged with
rain. This generous downpour is reSpon-
sible for the large and luscious oyster
crop, for according TO an old oyster man,
oysters need rain just as much as Vege-
tables do. 1t is necessary for the oysters
10 be fed by the vegetation and CROWNS
carried down to the salt water bays by
the fresh water streams, and in seasons
OF drouth this supply of food is cut off.
Because of the large amount of vegeta-
ton available for the oysters this year
they are fat, luscious and of fine flavor
This same authority on the cultivation
of oysters says
THE planters who raise the finest oys-
ters take them 10 drink just as farmer
waters his cattle. One big firm of whole
salers in New York recently constructed
a mill pond on Jamaica bay expressly Tor
this purpose. The firm brings its oysters
from its various beds, some of them as
far away as New Jersey, and drops them
overheard in the bay at the mouth OF the
outlet to the pond.
THE oysters are dropped in when the
tide is half flood. and they are taken up
at low tide. The water at the mouth of
the creek is almost fresh at low tide. The
oysters are left in this comparatively
fresh water from two to two and halt
hours. If they are left too long they
drink back the salt water, and this de-
tracts from their flavor. Immediately
after their fresh water draught the oys-
tiers are shipped to market.
IF you crack the bill of an oyster it
will die. This is why dredging them with
tongS is preferable to raising them with
a drag rake while the vessel is in mo-
ton
There are from 200 to 500 oysters in a
bushel, and the usual cargo of the oyster
boats of this port is from 800 TO LOCO
bushels. The average number of oysters
brought to this port for distribution
throughout the country is 100000 a day
during the season

THE MIKADo's STEEL WORKS.
Beginning the Manufacture Of Pig
Iron in japan.

New York Commercial Advertiser)
At recent dinner in Toxic Director
Wada of the Imperial Steel works at
Wakama tsu gave the following interest
ing sketch OF this important government
enterprise:
Founded in April, 1896, the works COM
menced partially in February of this year
the manufacture of pig iron, and in May
the work OF manufacturing. also partially
about forty tons a day, to be more eN-
act-Siemens steel. Next, two of the five
roll mill plants having been completed
the production of medium and small rails
and plates was started towards the end
of June. The other plant will be COM
pleted by the end of September and the
manufacture of large rails and other
that some accidents had happened to the
blasting furnace soon after its opening
for operation, but they were soon made
all right, and at present pig iron to the
extent of about 100 tons was being turned
out, the ore used being that obtained at
kamdishi, Mimasaku and Taya CChina).
The experiments thus far made had
proved the efficiency of the works for the
purpose intended, and as 10000 to 100000
tons OF steel can be produced in a year
when all arrangements shall have been
completed and the operations can be car
ried out TO their full extent, the director
is confident that the profit realized from
the work might cover in a reasonable
space of time the capital invested in this
important and novel industry of Japan.
He added that the works were obliged to
be self-supporting in the supply of coke
required, and, though the coke produced
by the works was as good as that gen.
orally used in steel works abroad, the
failures of the contractors to fulfill their
Jobs within the stipulated. time had con-
stituted a serious drawback in making
the preliminary arrangements of the
works.-The Manufacturer.
