Oyster Is Edible
All Year Around
The Truth About the Bivalve = Southern Ones
Are Not Paatable as Those
From the North

Go far as the question of health Is
~ concerned. there Is absolutely no
reason why the oyster should bR
bahished from the mcnu at the Fourth
OF July dinner. In the matter of favor,
perhaps, II might be disappointing, for
the oyster becomes a thin. fiabby,
tasteless sort of a creature soon after
the spawning season opens, and as
these bivalves commence to spawn
dn Northern Waters-at the very begin
ming Of the settled warm weather, II is
to this fact, In all probability that we
owe the prevailing superstition
While II Is true that there was some
excuse for the prescription of the oys-
ter a few years ago. the reason for our
abstinence from such sea-food during
the summer months no longer exists,
for, like the so-called spring lamb and
the strawberry, which may now be
found In the city markets at all tlHea.
oysters are sold and eaten without
regard to the restrictions OF either the
climate or the calendar
tf Moreover, the process by which these
results have been attained Is an ex-
tremely simple one. for II Is merely
a question of transplanting oysters
that are spa wning, or have already
spa wned, from Virginia. or some other
point in the South. to more northern
and colder waters. where they may be
nreserved until they are needed 70 take
fhe place OF those that have become
unstable. Thus. from May until the
lirst OF September, the Northern mar

ket is supplied with oysters that have
been brought from the South express
ly for this purpose, and, while II is true
that these Imported biValves are never
as tasty as the natives In their own
Geason-for the oyster resembles the
pumpkin I'm the fact that 1t requires a
touch of real cold weather to bring out
It's most appeti2ing qualtes-they are
sufficiently frm and plump to meet
nearly all the demands OF those who
feel that they must have this food. re-
gardless of the position of the ther-
mometer.
Although 1t may not be generally
known. oysters are planted. transplant
ed and cultivated very much as though
they were species of vegetable. The
grower tends them with as much care
as any farmer would devote to field
of corn, for II is not only necessary
that they should derive the right kind
OF nourshment from the waters in
which they lie. but they must be pro-
tected as far as possible from the many
enemies that constantly threaten them.
There seems TO be a widespread inn

name, as though the> term blue
