FATTENiNG OYSTERS.
Flow the United States Governments
Helps the BivaIves Grow,

From Country Life In America,
Inc oyster eating public is already IA
miliar with the process of fattening ADOPT
cd by some INSCRIPTIONS dealers in oys-
tiers. This consists merely in throwing
the oysters into fresh water, which they
absorb in large quantities. and become
plump. The flavor Is thereby injured and
there is danger of Injecting the oysters
with typhoid fever. At L%ynnhaven. va.
the United States bureau OF fisheries has
been working for several years on a plan
to establish an artificial fattening bed for
oysters. The oyster lives chiefly on dia-
toms and other microscopic marine plants.
THESE plants require for their growth q
large supply of inorganic salts In the
water. The fattening bed must be In shall
low water so as to have a. relatively high
temperature. A wall is maintained around
the fattening ground so as to retain the
fertilizer and diatoms.
Even after the diatoms have multiplied
enormously the oysters receive No bene-4
lit from them unless a current is main
tanned In the water to carry the food to
the oysters. Salt water Is pumped In to
prevent the f%attening beds from becom-
ing too fresh. and a little lime is added
10 the water to prevent the growth OF
alae and other plants which would give
a disagreeable flavor to the oyster. TOO
much lime, on the other hand. will de-
stroy the food plants of the oyster. The
process seems somewhat complicated. hut
1T has been demonstrated to be feasible
and to yield fine results In tn number and
quality of the oysters.

tion has occurred along either OF the

makes the following reference with re-
gard to the situation in Poland:

The south of Sochaczew were driven

lions favorable for the Russians"
Inc German statement contains the
slflklnR announcement that the Ger
man attacks on the Bzura river have
ceased. 1t claims successes on the
flght bank of the Pilica and describes
the situation elsewhere as unchanged.
From Petrosrad comes news that the
russians have sumo the offensive
at several points and that they have
