SEAL MEAT CANNED AND
AID TO CONSERVE FOOD

The latest project of the United States
Bureau Of Fisheries for increasing the
national food supply is the canning and
corning of seal meat. The meat Of the
seal, fresh, salted and smoked, Is a reg.
ular article of diet among the natives Of
the Pribylov Islands
The shoulders are said to be especially
palatable and, when properly cooked, to
resemble swan breast in flavor and ap-
pearance. This dish is regularly served
at the mess of the Government employees
on st. Paul and st. George Islands
A small experimental canning outfit Isl
to be installed in the islands. II is also
proposed to utilize the bones of the seal
in making fertilizer, to obtain oil for
dressing skins from the surplus blubber,
to make leather from the throats or
gullets, and possibly to use the intestines
for castings, and various glands for me
dicinal or food extracts. The prospective
resumption of commercial sealing at an
early date will yield a great number Of
seal carcasses for these various pur-
poses.-Scientiflc American.
