are selected according to size. the various fish being thrown into sep srate baskets or boxes. The fish lsed range from nine and a quarter Q twelve inches in length.
 fAfter the fish have. .heen carefully selected they are again salted aud shoroughly mixed or 1worksd over by hand This is none as rousing and is very essential The salt is now sticking to the skin of the fish and they are ready to be packed in bar rels, of special size. In packing care must be taken to keep the fish straight on their backs in the bar rels so that the salt when applied will reach all sides of the fish equal. ly and one side of the herring will not receive a heavier salting then the other.
 After the first layer is packed a further salting is required, the amount depending on the size and fatness of the fish The second and succeeding layers are salted and handled as before, but each succeed ing layer is laid at right angles ,1 the proceeding one.
 "The barrels are set up in upright position for three days and the fish settle as the salt works into the fish. It is therefore necessary to fill the barrels up before heading, after which the barrel is placed on it's side for ten days. After this length of time the barrel is again placed on end, the pickle drawn from the bung- hole. located at about the center of the barrel.
 Tt will readily be seen that this will again cause the fish to settle, requiring a final filling. As the her ring used for this filling must be of the same days cure and selection. they require very little salt between the extra layers. No salt whatever is placed on the top layer, for which the herring are pressed in shape by hand, giving a neat and finished ap- pearance. The barrel is now closed placed again on its side and pickle added through the bung. finishing the process. The herring are then cured and ready for shipment"
